Moderna shares rose 1.5% immediately following the announcement. MRNA stock is one of the top performers this year, rising 310% since January.

Moderna said it has received about $400 million in customer deposits for the potential supply of its Phase 3 Covid-19 vaccine mRNA-1273.
CEO Stéphane Bancel said, “As we pivot to a commercial-stage company, we recognize the need for responsible pricing in the face of the pandemic. We look forward to continuing our progress as we prepare for the Phase 3 readout and the expected subsequent filing of our BLA.”
Enrollment is ongoing for the Phase 3 COVE study.
Last month, the company had provided Phase 1 interim results, besides announcing the start of Phase 3 trials on July 27.
