Upon approval, Clover will work with its local partner to commercialize the product in Brazil.
"The BLA submission of AdimFlu-S in Brazil is another step towards our goal of becoming a global leader in the respiratory vaccine space and builds upon Clover's prior experience enrolling over 10,000 people in clinical trials across Brazil and South America," said Joshua Liang, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Clover, "By leveraging our unique globalization capabilities, we will continue expanding to other countries and regions to diversify our sales and maximize our impact on public health."
