A regulatory approval for the vaccine candidate is expected by the first-half of 2021, if data from clinical trials is positive, according to Sanofi.
Both the drugmakers are heightening the pace of manufacture of the antigen and adjuvant to manufacture one billion doses per year. Phase 1 and 2 studies are expected to begin in September and Phase 3 to commence by the end of the year.
The vaccine is being developed by combining Sanofi's recombinant protein-based and GSK's pandemic adjuvant technologies.
Sanofi is also collaborating on the development of a RNA vaccine candidate with Translate Bio, Inc (NASDAQ:TBIO).
The drugmakers said they are in active discussions on the supply of the potential vaccine with various other governments and global organizations.
