Trials for one of the worlds most promising coronavirus treatments are on hold because of the unexplained illness of a patient developers astra zeneca an Oxford University in england started late stage testing last week the World Health Organization says safety is the primary focus for Clinical Trials and that it is routine practice to investigate when unexplained illnesses occur thousands of patients taking part in the top Infectious Disease expert in the us says its unfortunate the trial had to be delayed but that its a normal part of the process. Thats the reason why you have various phases of trials to determine if in fact these candidates are safe this particular candidate from the Astra Zeneca Company had a serious adverse event which means you put the rest of the enrollment of individual volunteers on a hold until you can work out precisely what went on you alert the other sites to see if they see anything similar to this or related to that and then you proceed cautiously as you go forward making sure youre on the alert for this type of an adverse event but its really one of the safety valves that you have on Clinical Trials such as this so its unfortunate that it happened hopefully theyll work it out and be able to proceed along with the remainder of the trial but you dont know they need to investigate it further along these enormous verdun he says Drug Companies hope the child can resume in the coming weeks.
