Bavarian Nordic Announces that Janssen has Received Positive CHMP Opinion for its Investigational Preventative Ebola Vaccine Regimen - Seite 2

To date, approximately 60,000 people have been vaccinated with the Ebola vaccine regimen in clinical studies and vaccination initiatives. Janssen-sponsored Phase 1 studies have been reported in peer-reviewed journals including JAMA and the Journal of Infectious Diseases, and Phase 1, 2 and 3 data were recently presented at the 2019 European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Disease (ECCMID). These studies indicate that the vaccine regimen is well tolerated, inducing robust and durable immune responses to the Zaire Ebolavirus strain. In May 2019, the WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on immunization recommended the use of the Janssen investigational Ebola vaccine regimen as part of efforts to contain the DRC outbreak and more than 50,000 people in the DRC and Rwanda were vaccinated.
