However, in order to do this, phase 3 studies that have not yet been published in an international scientific peer-reviewed journal should be evaluated in scientific settings, and then the results and scientific data of the phases should be shared. After all this process, Urgent Use Approval in Turkey must be obtained,” the opinion was expressed.
