The Russian health ministry s ethical committee has declined to approve clinical trials in Russia combining a British shot from AstraZeneca (AZN.L) and Oxford University with Russia s Sputnik V vaccine, an AstraZeneca official told Reuters on Friday.
Irina Panarina, AstraZeneca general director in Russia and Eurasia, said the decision did not mean that the trials would never be approved or were definitively prohibited.
Before the committee s decision she said that AstraZeneca had received questions about the trials from the health ministry and was now preparing a response to them, which would be sent next week.
Human trials of a COVID-19 vaccine combining a shot from AstraZeneca (AZN.L) and Britain s Oxford University with Russia s Sputnik V vaccine were approved in Azerbaijan, the United Arab Emirates and Belarus, said Panarina.

The European Union on Wednesday asked a Belgian court to impose penalties running to millions of euros per day on AstraZeneca for Covid-19 vaccine doses it has failed to deliver to the bloc.
The request came as EU countries and their executive, the European Commission, began legal action against the Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical company for flagrant violation of its contract with Brussels.
The EU is suing AstraZeneca to force it to deliver 90 million more doses of its coronavirus vaccine before July, arguing that it failed in its contractual duty by handing over only a quarter of the shots it promised for the first three months of 2021.
