Overview
The COVID-19 candidate vaccine landscape
The COVID-19 candidate vaccine landscape database compiles detailed information on COVID-19 vaccine candidates in development.
The landscape is updated regularly – twice a week (Tuesday and Friday, 17:00 CET).
The landscape:
- provides summary tables of COVID-19 vaccine candidates in both clinical and pre-clinical development;
- provides analysis and visualization for several COVID-19 vaccine candidate categories;
- tracks the progress of each vaccine from pre-clinical, Phase 1, Phase 2 through to Phase 3 efficacy studies,
- provides links to published reports on safety, immunogenicity and efficacy data of the vaccine candidates;
- includes information on key attributes of each vaccine candidate; and
- allows users to search for COVID-19 vaccines through various criteria such as vaccine platform, dosage, schedule of vaccination, route of administration, developer, trail phase and clinical endpoints being measured in Phase 3.
Submission of data
All data from independent institutions and vaccine developers are welcome to provide information on vaccine candidates being developed using the information template. Submitted data will be made openly accessible on a regular basis to enable fast data sharing.
Data extraction tools and sources
To ensure the latest information is available, the landscape will be updated twice a week (Tuesday and Friday, 17:00 CET) by searching, gathering and cross-checking data from multiple sources such as the Cochrane vaccine mapping tool, Pubmed, ClinicalTrials.gov and from a network of researchers and industry for new candidate vaccines and screening registered trials for clinical information. Where data is missing, we either do not add any information (blank cells) or we supplement information gathered from press or public releases. We welcome your feedback to help us update or make necessary changes, please note any updates will only be done twice a week.
