- Reithera confirms that it is strongly committed to phase 2-3 of the clinical trial, launched last month, of the GRAd-COV2 vaccine against COVID-19 based on the proprietary technology of the gorilla isolated adenovirus, a technology similar to that of other vaccines already approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and, if the trial proceeds according to plan, we expect to complete it after the summer ". This is what the President of Reithera Antonella Folgori declares in a note, underlining that" the design of the phase 3 study will have to adapt to a rapidly evolving health, epidemiological and social context and ReiThera will make use of the opinion and guidelines dictated by regulatory agencies. "" The experimentation is proceeding at full speed - underlines Folgori - with thegoal of continuing the development of the GRAd-COV2 vaccine. We found a strong adhesion and participation in the phase 2 study, thanks to the commitment of the numerous clinical centers and experimenters involved, the support of Invitalia and INMI Spallanzani, in addition to the dedication of the ReiThera team ". The enrollment of 900 volunteers - he continues - it was in fact completed in a few days, and the vaccination as well as the monitoring of the volunteers are proceeding as per protocol in the 26 clinical centers throughout the national territory. The preliminary safety and immunogenicity data generated in the first weeks after vaccination - concludes the President - will be evaluated by an independent committee in order to promote the expansion to the next phase 3 ".
