REUTERS/Florence Lohas recruited most of the 28,000 participants needed for a large clinical trial of its mRNA COVID-19 vaccine candidate, a senior company official said on Thursday.
The issue has become more urgent as studies have shown China's most frequently used shots from Sinovac and Sinopharm are less effective against the highly contagious Omicron than against some previous variants.From next week, a Phase III trial for Walvax' potential mRNA vaccine will shift its focus from recruiting participants to identifying potential COVID-19 infections for data analysis, Walvax's vice chairman Huang Zhen said on Thursday.
The ARCoV vaccine, which Walvax co-developed with Suzhou Abogen Biosciences and a Chinese military-backed research institution, is being tested in a Phase III trial across countries including China, Mexico and Indonesia.
