The trial was paused in compliance with regulatory standards after an 'unexplained' illness in one of its participants, the company said.

Pfizer and Moderna also have vaccine candidate trials that went into phase 3 in July, both of which require two doses about a month apart. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine candidate is instead administered in one dose, avoiding the complicated coordination to require people to return in time for the second dose.

Johnson & Johnson announced last week that the European Commission had approved an advance purchase agreement from its parent company, Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies, for 200 million doses of the vaccine for E.U. member states following approval. The company also said it was looking to allocate up to 500 million vaccine doses to international efforts for low-income nations.
