Moderna (MRNA, $58.57) might be delaying start of Phase 3 trial of covid-19 vaccine

Biotech company Moderna   has reportedly delayed the start of a Phase III trial of its coronavirus vaccine.

The healthcare website Stat News reported that Moderna was making changes to the trial plan, and therefore the start date of the Phase III study has been pushed back, according to investigators who did not want to be named.

“My understanding was that they wanted to get the first vaccines given in July, and they say they’re still committed to do that,” one investigator said, according to Stat News. “As best I can tell, they’re close to being on target for that.”

Moderna wrote on Twitter that "the trial is still expected to begin in July and we expect to be the first to start a Phase 3 trial."
