Global regulators discuss data requirements for phase 3 trials of COVID-19 vaccines

EMA

24 June 2020 - Under the umbrella of the International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities, international regulators discussed COVID-19 vaccine development and the necessary evidence required for regulatory decision-making at the second regulatory workshop on COVID-19 vaccines. 

The meeting was jointly organised by the EMA and the US FDA on 22 June 2020.

Many researchers around the world are currently working on vaccines against COVID-19 but a rapid authorisation of COVID-19 vaccines will only be possible if robust and sound scientific evidence on vaccine candidates’ quality, safety and efficacy is generated. International convergence of data requirements is intended to encourage and accelerate the development of vaccines as a global public health good.
