July 21, 2020 Clinical Research Researchers careful to state that the long-term outcome/efficacy of the immune response to the Oxford vaccine will be known after the Phase 3 arm of the trial. Great science but verification required.
July 16, 2020 Allergy/Immunology Still too early in the pandemic to determine how long immunity lasts after initial infection.
May 27, 2020 Clinical Research Vaccine trial clinical investigators are worried that participants are MIA
May 22, 2020 Clinical Research Is this hypothesis the ACE in the hole that explains why children account for so few cases of SARS-CoV-2? Verification and further evaluation required.
May 8, 2020 Allergy/Immunology Interesting approach using monoclonal antibodies to treat Covid-19 infections. However clinical trials must follow to confirm in vitro findings.
April 30, 2020 Clinical Research Remdesivir may help treat Covid-19 but the predictable media hype misrepresents the science. The data has not been published nor peer reviewed. There is a study in the Lancet that does not demonstrate efficacy hence the need for further investigation to determine if this truly is a treatment option.
April 28, 2020 Clinical Research No hype, no promises but Oxford coronavirus vaccine research is moving ahead with larger scale human trials
April 15, 2020 Clinical Research PM Trudeau, your flouting of pandemic health policy rules demoralizes the country. Armchair “physicians”, stop flaunting cherry-picked preprint studies as “the” evidence HCQ works when there are just as many that refute it. That is why proper investigation and meta-analysis are required.
February 5, 2020 Clinical Research HIV vaccine hopes should not be “dashed” by trial failure. Results contribute to understanding and formulating new approaches. We learn from our mistakes and failures in order to attain our goals.
