Celltrion president Seo Jeong-jin predicted that the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) will continue until the end of next year. The vaccine is expected to be released in the first half of next year. However, as the development of treatments accelerates, it is anticipated that there is the possibility that the return to daily life will be more rapid.
President Seo Jeong-jin said at the ‘2020 Korea Investment Festival’ which was held at the Conrad Hotel in Seoul on the 6th. You have to think. ”
President Seo said, “Corona 19 cannot be resolved politically until vaccines or treatments are released,” he said. “The vaccines are expected to be released in the first half of next year according to the guidelines of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).”
He added: “It is possible to attempt the release before the first semester, but it is not easy to meet the guidelines,” he added. “It is more important to show that the data is stabilized rather than to release the vaccine quickly.”
President Seo, however, hoped that the treatment would come out faster than the vaccine. Although the impact of the crown will continue, President Seo believes that the return to daily life may be faster.
President Seo cited the case of United States President Donald Trump, who returned after being recently diagnosed with coronavirus. President Seo said: “President Trump received the first prescription of antibody therapy, second remdesivir, and he was given an injection to prevent replication of the virus,” he explained.
He said, “Korea also has the level of infrastructure that President Trump has treated,” he said. “By the end of the year, the Korean people will be able to access the antibody therapy used to treat President Trump.”
Celltrion is undergoing phase 2 treatment with Corona 19 ‘CT-P59’ antibody. “We plan to apply for conditional approval of this treatment by the end of the year,” said Chairman Seo. “If the application is accepted, it will be available in the market at cost level.” President Seo said: “Then the whole country can be diagnosed through a diagnostic kit, and the treatments can be administered on the same day to prevent serious diseases. It will become the world’s first country clean from crown and people will be able to go back to your daily life. “I emphasized.
President Seo also announced plans to establish a U-Healthcare startup after retirement.
President Seo said, “I plan to participate in a start-up meeting from January after I retire on December 31, and I will return to the spirit that I founded 19 years ago and establish a U-Health start-up company.
U-Healthcare is a healthcare service that uses ubiquitous and telemedicine technology, and its most important feature is that you can receive medical services without time and space limitations.
He also said that he would invest 2 trillion won to nurture the youth. Chairman Seo explained, “If the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises and the Enterprise Venture Capital (CVC) of the Korea Development Bank are created, we will invest about 2 trillion won.”
