AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot stated on Thursday the company is likely to begin a brand-new worldwide trial to measure how efficient its coronavirus vaccine is, Bloomberg reports.
Why it matters: Following Phase 3 trials, Oxford and AstraZeneca said their vaccine was 90?fective in people who got a half dose followed by a full dosage, and 62?ficient in people who got two full doses.
- ” Now that we’ve discovered what appears like a better effectiveness we have to confirm this, so we need to do an extra study,” Soriot said, in his very first interview considering that the University of Oxford revealed data today from the vaccine it’s developing with AstraZeneca.
Soriot told Bloomberg that it would likely be another “global study, but this one could be faster due to the fact that we know the efficacy is high so we need a smaller number of clients.”
- Soriot does not expect the trial to affect regulative approvals in the European Union and the U.K., although FDA clearance may take longer, he stated.
