BNT162 is the first clinical trial to receive approval and soon to conduct experiments in the US with regulatory approval. The partnership between these companies is enhancing the speed of the development. Also, BioNTechSE is merging with Fosun Pharma, a leading biopharma company in China to improve the development of the vaccine. The collaboration between the BioNTechSE and Fosun Pharma is also to elaborate on the development of the vaccine. These companies are to conduct clinical trials shortly.
The United States is to start clinical trials over the use of an artificially synthesized antibody, generally called gimsilumab. In this pandemic situation, scientists at Temple University Hospital have already using this therapy to treat patients with high risk. Gimsilumab is very effective in treating lung injury and other respiratory distress syndromes. So the researchers strongly believe this therapy will work on the patients, and these clinical trials will help to evaluate promising treatment procedure for the COVID-19 patients.
