(Reuters) – Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc said on Tuesday the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has lifted the partial clinical hold on the company’s trial of its COVID-19 vaccine.
The FDA last year put the final-stage trial on hold as it sought more information from the company, including details on a delivery device used to inject genetic material into cells.
Inovio said the FDA’s review was complete, and the agency had provided authorization to proceed with the study.
