Health Canada has begun the review of the rolling submission for Medicago’s plant-derived COVID-19 vaccine candidate in combination with GlaxoSmithKline’s (LSE: GSK) pandemic adjuvant.

Under a deal between the companies announced last July, the candidate dubbed MT-2766 combines Medicago's recombinant coronavirus virus-like particles (CoVLP) with GSK's pandemic adjuvant system. Two doses of 3.75 micrograms of CoVLP are administered 21 days apart.
