The firm said its 'closely watched early-stage human trial for a coronavirus vaccine produced COVID-19 antibodies in all 45 participants used in the trial.'
A biotech firm, Moderna, has reported ‘positive’ results from its COVID-19 vaccine trial.
According to CNBC news, the declaration by the firm sent its shares to about a 20 per cent increase in value.The firm said each participant received two doses of 25 and 100 of its experimental vaccine via intramuscular injection in the upper arm closely monitored within a four week equidistance period
“Those in the 100 microgram had antibodies that “significantly exceeded levels” in recovered patients. Data on a second dose was not available for the 250 microgram group,” the company said. Meanwhile, Moderna chief medical officer, Tal Zaks, in a statement said, “These interim Phase 1 data, while early, demonstrate that vaccination with mRNA-1273 elicits an immune response of the magnitude caused by natural infection starting with a dose as low as 25 [micrograms].
