Similar Stories to Astrazeneca Says It Will Likely Do Another Study Of Covid-19 Vaccine After Accidental Lower Dose Shows Higher Efficacy on Bing News

AstraZeneca’s CEO told Bloomberg that the pharmaceutical company will likely conduct another global trial of the effectiveness of its COVID-19 vaccine trial, following the disclosure that the more effective dosage in the existing Phase 3 clinical trial was actually administered by accident. AstraZeneca and its partner the University of Oxford reported interim results that showed 62% efficacy for a full two-dose regimen, and a 90% efficacy rate for a half-dose followed by a full dose – which the scientists developing the drug later acknowledged was actually just an accidental administration of what was supposed to be two full doses. To be clear, this shouldn’t dampen anyone’s optimism about the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine.
