The mRNA vaccine efforts took a giant leap forward with the success of the COVID-19 vaccine programs at Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech in 2020. This herculean effort was accomplished through not only technological innovation, but the close and collaborative interaction with Regulatory Agencies to make the process as efficient as possible. This session will present some of the experience and lessons-learned from the perspective of the clinical trial management, CMC manufacturing, and review of dossiers.
