BiondVax recently finished their phase 3 trial of a universal flu vaccine. It was 15 years in the making. Science was (still is solid). Phase 3 took two years to account for ADE and other safety issues.
At the 1-year mark, everything looked perfect. At the towo years mark (original endpoint) the conclusion was that while it was safe, it offered statistically insignificant protection.
Properly designed tests need those 2 years, at the very least. The “SAFE” confidence axis was compromised. Whether or nit it is justified is what we’re discussing here.
