Moderna announced clinical progress from mRNA Vaccine
On Apr. 13, 2021, Moderna announced clinical and supply updates on its COVID-19 Vaccine program. New results from a preclinical study of the Company’s COVID-19 variant-specific vaccine candidates showed that the Company’s variant-specific booster vaccine candidates (mRNA-1273.351 and mRNA-1273.211) increase neutralizing titers against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern. To date, the Company has delivered approximately 132 million doses of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine globally
Today, the Company is sharing an update on the Phase 3 COVE study of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine (mRNA-1273). An updated review of adjudicated cases has identified over 900 cases of COVID-19 in the COVE study as of April 9th, including over 100 cases of severe COVID-19, as defined in the protocol, with a median follow-up of approximately 6 months post dose 2. Vaccine efficacy starting two weeks following the second dose and based on the updated adjudicated cases remains consistent with prior updates, including greater than 90% against all cases of COVID-19, and greater than 95% against severe cases of COVID-19.
As of April 13, all placebo participants have been offered the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine and 98% of those have received the vaccine
