Case Study

Operation Warp Speed

Operation Warp Speed (renamed the COVID-19 response operation in January 2021) and the multi-agency initiative’s central goal – to develop, produce, and distribute 300 million doses of a safe and effective coronavirus vaccine by January 2021 – required a deep knowledge of science and how to manage complex government operations while navigating a challenging pandemic. In August 2020, prime contract research organization (CRO) Pharm-Olam and Geneva were selected by the Department of Defense to support Phase 3 clinical trials for one or more vaccine candidates.

GENEVA’S ROLES

• Clinical trials management at military treatment facilities (MTFs)
• Regulatory expertise
• Scientific expertise
• Recruitment of highly skilled medical and technical personnel
• Facilitating the rapid acceleration of research timelines

Geneva employed 115+ employees supporting OWS with 1,720 total participants enrolled across six military treatment facilities nationwide.
