In an article recently published in Chinese Medical Journal, a research team use phase 1 and 2 clinical trial data to show that a vaccine called KCONVAC, which contains an inactivated virus, is safe and can stimulate antibody production. These findings support the initiation of a phase 3 trial to confirm that the vaccine is safe and effective.
