Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine study has been paused due to an 'unexplained illness' in a study participant.
A document obtained by Stat News which was sent to outside researchers running the 60,000-patient clinical trial states that a 'pausing rule' has been met.
It also stated that the online system used to enroll patients in the study has been closed and the data and safety monitoring board would be convened.
Johnson & Johnson confirmed the news to Stat News, saying it was due to 'an unexplained illness in a study participant.'
The company declined to provide further details and cited patient privacy.
