Candidate: Vaccine to prevent COVID-19
Category: VAX
Type: Not specified
Status: AJ Vaccines said March 6 it would develop a COVID-19 vaccine designed to use “the best possibly designed” antigens to mimic closely the authentic native structures of the virus. “The use of such technology is expected to induce the relevant immune responses and therefore protect against disease with a lower risk for side effects,” COO Jerome Cabannes stated.
COVID-19: 200 Candidates and Counting
To navigate through the >200 potential therapeutic and vaccine options for COVID-19, GEN has grouped the candidates into four broad categories based on their developmental and (where applicable) clinical progress:
● FRONT RUNNER – the most promising therapeutics/vaccines based on clinical progress, favorable data or both.
● DEFINITELY MAYBE – earlier phases with promising partners, or more advanced candidates in development that have generated uneven data
● KEEPING AN EYE ON… – interesting technology, attracting notable partners, or both, but preliminary data.
● TOO SOON TO TELL – longshots pending additional experimental and/or clinical data.
GEN has also tagged the most common treatment types:
● ANTIVIRAL
● VAX
● ANTIBODY
● RNA
