Pfizer Says It Could Know If Its COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate Works in October
Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) is conducting one of the most advanced trials of a vaccine for COVID-19, and CEO Albert Bourla told an interviewer on Sunday that the drugmaker could know if its candidate is effective by the end of October.
The healthcare company is researching a slate of possible vaccines in partnership with BioNTech (NASDAQ: BNTX), and a phase 2/3 study evaluating its most advanced coronavirus vaccine candidate, BNT162b2, began in July. That trial is structured to include a total of 30,000 participants who will be given two doses of the vaccine, 21 days apart.
