As a result, Pfizer will conduct preclinical studies to confirm the effectiveness of the compound, including determining antiviral properties and assessing the suitability of lead particles for use in intravenous infusion therapy.
Moreover, the company is working on investing in materials that would accelerate the start of a possible clinical study of lead particles during the third quarter of 2020, i.e. three months or more before the earlier estimates for the start of the study, based on the positive completion of special pre-clinical studies Confirm the effectiveness of the compound.
Pfizer and Bayo InTech have entered into a global cooperation agreement to develop a program to produce a potential vaccine based on transmitted RNA for the prevention of Covid-19 disease. During the month of March 2020, the two companies announced the beginning of cooperation and joint action.
