FDA sets Feb. 26 review of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine data
The Food and Drug Administration last night announced that its Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee will convene Feb. 26 to discuss the emergency use authorization application by Johnson & Johnson and Janssen Biotech, Inc. for its investigational single-dose COVID-19 vaccine candidate.
The Johnson & Johnson candidate is the third to seek an EUA from the agency; the application follows topline efficacy and safety data culled from a phase 3 trial that showed a 72% effectiveness in the U.S. for preventing moderate-to-severe COVID-19.
