WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardization

The WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardization is commissioned by WHO to establish detailed recommendations and guidelines for the manufacturing, licensing, and control of blood products, cell regulators, vaccines and related in vitro diagnostic tests. Members of the Expert Committee are scientists from national control agencies, academia, research institutes, public health bodies and the pharmaceutical industry acting as individual experts and not as representatives of their respective organizations or employers. The decisions and recommendations of the Committee are based entirely on scientific principles and considerations of public health. The Expert Committee on Biological Standardization meets on an annual basis since 1947 and is reponsible for the establishment of the WHO International Biological Reference Preparations and for the adoption of the WHO Recommendations and Guidelines. The Expert Committee directly reports to the Executive Board, which is the executive arm of the World Health Assembly.

WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardization

The seventy-second meeting of the WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardization was held from 19 to 23 October 2020 by WebEx video conferencing due to the restrictions imposed during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The meeting was opened on behalf of the Director-General of WHO by Dr Mariângela Batista Galvão Simão, Assistant Director-General, Access to Medicines and Health Products. Dr Simão welcomed Committee members, meeting participants and observers. Dr Simão began by noting that the Committee had met as recently as August 2020, primarily to address standardization activities related to COVID-19, and that much remains to be learnt about the pandemic. The WHO Solidarity Trial was continuing to facilitate the rapid and robust comparison of potential treatments. Recently published interim results indicated that the four small molecule treatments remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir/ritonavir and interferon had little or no benefit in terms of overall mortality or speed of recovery of hospitalized patients – to date only dexamethasone had proved to be effective against severe COVID-19.
