How do I get proxy access to another account?

COVID Clinical Trials: Antibodies, Immunity, and Vaccine Development

Weill Cornell Medicine’s ability to adapt has been evident throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, as it shifted from becoming an epicenter from COVID-19 patient care, to becoming a site for Stage III clinical trials for a COVID-19 vaccine. 

During Phase 3 of a clinical trial, researchers work with between 300 and 3,000 volunteers to test the efficacy of the potential vaccine and monitor patients for possible adverse reactions. Although this phase of study typically takes between one and four years to complete, U.S. Health and Human Services has called on researchers “to accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics with no compromise to patient safety.  

Patients interested in volunteering to participate in a clinical study may contact the Coronavirus Prevention Network or email cctucovid@med.cornell.edu. 

Recorded on August 20, 2020,  this episode of the Weill Cornell Medicine Insights webinar series, called “COVID Clinical Trials: Antibodies, Immunity, and Vaccine Development,” brings together expert faculty members who have been on forefront of the medical center’s vaccine trials.
