AZD1222 US Phase III primary analysis confirms safety and efficacy

The Pharma Data

It uses a replication-deficient chimpanzee viral vector based on a weakened version of a common cold virus (adenovirus) that causes infections in chimpanzees and contains the genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 virus spike protein. AZD1222 was co-invented by the University of Oxford and its spin-out company, Vaccitech. JPEO-CBRND.
