AstraZeneca COVID vaccine trial put on hold due to adverse reaction (link)

This was also just reported on CNBC. I'm sure other links will be plentiful shortly.

A large, Phase 3 study testing a Covid-19 vaccine being developed by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford at dozens of sites across the U.S. has been put on hold due to a suspected serious adverse reaction in a participant in the United Kingdom.

Clinical holds are not uncommon, and it’s unclear how long AstraZeneca’s might last. But the progress of the company’s trial — and those of all Covid-19 vaccines in development — are being closely watched given the pressing need for new ways to curb the global pandemic. There are currently nine vaccine candidates in Phase 3 trials. AstraZeneca’s is the first Phase 3 Covid-19 vaccine trial known to have been put on hold.

While I want to get the vaccine as soon as I can, I don't think I'd like -- hokiemas 09/08/2020 5:48PM

I am just glad to see companies doing proper testing... -- Naelbis 09/08/2020 6:21PM
