J&J's Janssen in Leiden is nog steeds on track met de ontwikkeling van een Corona-vaccin:
"J&J, the first large pharmaceutical company to unveil its performance in the first quarter, acknowledged the coronavirus pandemic has had a sharp impact across its full-year guidance and offered some fresh details on its Covid-19 vaccine in development.
J&J, like its peers, is attempting to do in six to 12 months what usually takes 5 to 7 years, CEO Alex Gorsky reminded analysts on a conference call on Monday.
The plan is to initiate human testing of its candidate by September, have safety and data by the end of the year, and have the vaccine ready on a not-for-profit basis for emergency pandemic use in early 2021, executives said, adding that they expect to have the capacity to generate 600 to 900 million doses at the start of 2021 and ramp up to a billion doses over the course of the year."
Maar Moderna is meen ik nog steeds iets verder met haar ontwikkeling.
