What is the latest Corona Virus Update?

Coronavirus Update Today, the U.S. Food and the Drug Administration (FDA) issued guidelines for medical product developers, specifically covering vaccines, diagnostics, and therapeutics.
To address the emergence and possible future emergence of variants SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Therapies and vaccines available to fight this virus is the Coronavirus Update .
We remain committed to bringing these life-saving products to the front lines.
As with any evolving situation, the FDA will continually monitor the status, update the vaccinated to prevent COVID-19.
Follow Coronavirus Update essential health measures such as washing hands, wearing a mask, and maintaining social distance.

Currently, available information suggests that FDA-cleared vaccines remain effective in protecting the American public against now circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants.
However, suppose variants of SARS-CoV-2 appear in the U.S. that are moderately or resistant to the antibody response elicited by the current generation of COVID-19 vaccines.
In that case, it may be necessary to tailor the vaccines to the variant.
The updated guide presents the FDA’s scientific recommendations for licensed vaccine modifications.
For example, the FDA expects that the manufacturing information will generally remain the same for a licensed vaccine and a modified candidate vaccine from the same manufacturer.
What’s more, the guide describes the FDA’s recommendations for safety evaluations that support a EUA for a modified vaccine.
Finally, the principle states that further discussion will be necessary to decide whether, in the future, modified COVID-19 vaccines for clinical uses.

The FDA has released a new guide for test developers, Policy for Evaluating the Impact of Viral Mutations on COVID-19 Tests.
The guide provides information on evaluating the potential impact of emerging and future viral genetic mutations.
Which may underlie viral variants, on COVID-19 testing.
The FDA identified some tests that are known to be affected by occurring viral mutations, although, at this time, the impact does not appear to be significant.

To address the impact of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants on developing monoclonal antibody products targeting the virus, the FDA has published new guidance, Development of SARS-CoV-2
Targeting Monoclonal Antibody Products, Including the attention to the impact of emerging variants, during the public health emergency of COVID-19.
The FDA has also revised a second guideline that more broadly covers drugs and biologics for COVID-19.
COVID-19: Developing Drugs and Biologics for Treatment or Prevention.
The new guidance provides recommendations for developers of monoclonal antibodies targeting SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
Monoclonal antibodies are proteins made in laboratories that mimic the immune system’s ability to fight harmful pathogens, such as viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2.
The FDA is aware that few licensed antibodies are less active against some of the SARS-CoV-2 variants that have emerged.
This guide provides recommendations on efficient approaches for the generation of non-clinical, clinical, and chemistry data, manufacturing.
Controls that could support an AUS for monoclonal antibody products that may be effective against emerging variants.

The revised guidance covering drugs and biologics more broadly, initially published in May 2020.
Outlines the current FDA recommendations regarding phase 2 and 3 clinical trials for drugs and biologics in development to treat or prevent COVID-19
Patient population, trial design, efficacy endpoints, safety considerations, statistical considerations for such trials and more.
Address the changing environment of COVID-19 drug development, including the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants and the availability of licensed COVID-19 vaccines.
With these guidelines, the FDA urges developers of drugs or biologics targeting SARS-CoV-2
To monitor genomic databases for emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants continually
To phenotypically evaluate any specific variant targeting the product that is becoming prevalent or that could potentially affect your business.
The FDA, an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services
Protects the public health by ensuring the protection, efficacy and safety of veterinary.
Like human drugs, vaccines, and other biological products intended for human use.
The agency is also responsible for protecting and safety of our national food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements, products that emit electronic radiation, and the regulation of tobacco products.
