Panacea Biotec and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) are initiating a Phase III trial of a dengue fever vaccine.
This landmark trial (CTRI/2024/03/064910) will evaluate the efficacy of India’s indigenous tetravalent dengue vaccine, DengiAll.
The virus has become a major public health concern in India, ranking it among the top 30 countries with the highest incidence of the disease.
DengiAll is based on the tetravalent dengue vaccine strain (TV003/TV005), originally developed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) which has shown promise in previous studies.
