At the recent SEC meeting for Vaccine held on March 27th, 2024, the expert panel reviewed the Phase I clinical trial protocol titled “An open- label, single-treatment, single-period, single dose, clinical phase 1 study to assess the safety and tolerability of Bivalent Typhoid and Paratyphoid A Conjugate Vaccine (BTPT) of M/s Zydus Lifesciences Ltd., India in healthy, adult human subjects” along with pre-clinical study report of Bivalent Typhoid and Paratyphoid A Conjugate Vaccine.
After detailed deliberation, the committee recommended the grant of permission to conduct a Phase-I clinical trial of Bivalent Typhoid and Paratyphoid A conjugate vaccine with the condition to make screening up to day -14 instead of day - 28.
Accordingly, the expert panel suggested that the firm should submit a revised protocol to CDSCO.
