The Academy of Military Medical Sciences (AMMS) of the PLA Academy of Military Science ( Chinese : 中国人民解放军军事科学院军事医学研究院 ) is a Chinese military medical research institute. [1] [2] It was established in Shanghai in 1951. [3] It has been based in Beijing since 1958.
In October 2011, the drug " Night Eagle ", developed to help soldiers cope with sleep deprivation during missions, was unveiled in an exhibition marking the institute's 60th anniversary. [4]
In December 2014, the Chinese government announced that the Academy of Military Medical Sciences had developed an Ebola virus vaccine candidate that had been approved for clinical trials. [1] [2]
In December 2021, the United States Department of Commerce added the Academy of Military Medical Sciences to the Entity List , accusing it of aiding in the Uyghur genocide . [5]
COVID-19 vaccine
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the AMMS partnered with CanSino Biologics to develop Convidecia . The development team, led by Chen Wei , registered a Phase 1 trial in March 2020 and a Phase 2 trial in April 2020. [6] [7] It conducted its Phase III trials in Argentina , [8] Chile , [9] Mexico , [10] Pakistan , [11] Russia , [12] and Saudi Arabia [13] with 40,000 participants.
In February 2021, global data from Phase III trials and 101 COVID cases showed the vaccine had a 65.7% efficacy in preventing moderate symptoms of COVID-19 , and 91% efficacy in preventing severe disease. [14] It has similar efficacy to the Janssen vaccine , another one-shot adenovirus vector vaccine with 66% efficacy in a global trial. [15] [16] Convidecia is also similar to other viral vector vaccines like the Oxford–AstraZeneca vaccine and Sputnik V vaccine . [17] Its single-dose regimen and standard refrigerator storage requirement (2°to 8 °C) could make it a favorable vaccine option for many countries. [15]
Convidecia is approved for use by some countries in Asia, [18] [19] [20] Europe, [21] [22] and Latin America. [23] [24] [25] Production capacity for Ad5-NCov should reach 500 million doses in 2021. Manufacturing will take place in China, [26] Malaysia, [20] Mexico, [27] and Pakistan. [28]
The vaccine was the first one approved outside of clinical trials in an expedited decision, which authorized its use only by the Chinese military . [29]
