CanSino Biologics Inc will start testing its coronavirus vaccine candidate in late-stage human trials in Argentina and Chile, the co-founder of the Chinese pharmaceutical company said on Saturday.

The candidate Ad5-nCoV, which goes by the trade name Convidecia, uses a harmless common cold virus to carry genetic information of coronavirus’ protein to elicit immune responses, has already begun Phase III trials in Pakistan, Russia and Mexico.

The 50-case milestone could be hit faster than previously expected judging from how the virus is spreading, Zhu told an industry event, without specifying when the analysis would start. China has five home-grown candidates currently undergoing Phase III trials. None have so far produced interim results.
