Moderna Inc. and its Japanese partner Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. said there is currently no evidence linking the deaths of two men in Japan to stainless steel particles found in vials of the Moderna vaccine.

The deaths are currently considered coincidental, pending the end of a formal investigation, the drug makers said in a joint statement Wednesday.
