There are 5 promising preventive and antiviral therapisin the works that may survive clinical trials and reach the market in the near future.<\/p>\n

The unstoppable coronavirus Covid-19 is now officially a global pandemic. And we still haven\u2019t found a cure or vaccine for it. The good news, though, is that a number of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, some with the support of government funding, are working around the clock to develop vaccines and treatment.<\/p>\n

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK): Vaccines<\/strong><\/h2>\n

British pharmaceutical giant GSK is working with two outside organizations for preclinical studies on Covid-19 vaccines using its pandemic vaccine adjuvant platform, a technology used to develop HPV and flu vaccines in the past.<\/p>\n

GSK has provided the technology to University of Queensland program funded by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), an international organization based in Oslo, Clover Biopharmaceuticals, a Chinese biotech company that\u2019s making a vaccine called Covid-19 S-Trimer.<\/p>\n

Johnson & Johnson: Vaccines and Treatment<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In collaboration with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), a division under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Johnson & Johnson is exploring candidates for both vaccines and antiviral drugs.<\/p>\n

Similar to GSK, the American pharma giant is using its vaccine platform technology, which was used for the developing an experimental Ebola vaccine in 2009.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also in discussions with other partners, that if we have a vaccine candidate with potential, we aim to make it accessible to China and other parts of the world,\u201d Paul Stoffels, Johnson & Johnson\u2019s chief scientific officer,\u00a0said in a statement<\/a>\u00a0last month.<\/p>\n

The company aims to start a Phase 1 clinical trial by the end of 2020, Stoffel said last week.<\/p>\n

Inovio Pharmaceuticals: Vaccine INO-4800<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Inovio recently completed the preclinical testing of a DNA-based vaccine called INO-4800. And clinical trials are expected to begin in April with patients in the U.S., as well as China and South Korea.<\/p>\n

The company expects to have first trial results in the fall and have one million vaccines doses ready by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Moderna: Vaccine mRNA-1273<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Biotech startup Moderna is developing an RNA-based vaccine candidate called mRNA-1273 through a program funded by CEPI. Last month, the company shipped a batch of the vaccine to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a division under the National Institutes of Health. Clinical trials are expected to start next week and conclude on June 1 next year.<\/p>\n

Gilead Sciences: Remdesivir<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A frontrunner among existing Covid-19 therapy projects,\u00a0Gilead\u2019s antiviral drug, Remdesivir<\/a>, is currently used in a phase 3 trial on over 1,000 patients around the world.<\/p>\n

The experimental drug was first tested on Covid-19 patients in Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. Last month, the NIAID allowed the company to expand phase 3 trials to other countries hit by the virus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
