BUtterfield 8 41,818 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 A front-runner coronavirus vaccine candidate developed by Massachusetts biotech firm Moderna will be submitted for regulatory approval Monday, the company said — the second leading drug to pass the milestone this month. Moderna said it will ask the United States Food and Drug Administration for emergency use authorization after completing its Phase 3 trial, finding the vaccine was 94.1 percent effective against Covid-19. Moreover, Moderna said the vaccine was 100 percent effective at preventing severe cases of the disease. These results were the same across all age, race and gender categories, the company said in a statement. There have been no serious safety concerns so far, it added, with the most common side effects being fatigue, muscle and joint pain and headaches. "We believe that our vaccine will provide a new and powerful tool that may change the course of this pandemic and help prevent severe disease, hospitalizations and death," Stéphane Bancel, Moderna chief executive, said in a statement. Ten days ago another vaccine candidate, developed by the U.S. pharma giant Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech, also applied for regulatory approval having observed a similar level of efficacy. Like Moderna's drug, theirs involves inserting special code called mRNA into the body, tricking it into developing an immune response. No mRNA-based drug has ever won approval before.
