YS Biopharma Completes Enrollment of 4,500 Subjects in Rabies Vaccine Trial
YS Biopharma (Nasdaq: YS) has completed subject enrollment in a Phase 3 clinical trial of its PIKA rabies vaccine. The trial, which will assess the safety, immunogenicity, and lot-to-lot vaccine consistency, includes 4,500 subjects.
Previous Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials of the PIKA Rabies Vaccine have demonstrated its safety and strong immunogenicity, with the PIKA Rabies Vaccine eliciting a detectable immune response in as little as seven days.
Dr. Muhammad Ahmad, one of the trial’s Principal Investigators, said, “We hold high hopes that these findings will help establish a new standard in rabies prevention around the world, and we are proud to be taking this significant step into promising new territory.”
Highlights
The Phase 3 Trial is a randomized, comparator-controlled, double-blind, multi-country and multi-center study that is currently being conducted in Pakistan and the Philippines.
The PIKA Rabies Vaccine, which utilizes YS Biopharma’s proprietary PIKA adjuvant technology, is designed to produce a more robust immune response in an accelerated timespan compared to existing rabies vaccines.
The PIKA Rabies Vaccine has the potential to achieve best-in-class accelerated protection and meet the WHO’s goal of a one-week rabies vaccine regimen to replace the conventional three- or four-week regimens.
Rabies has an almost 100% fatality rate upon emergence of clinical symptoms, claiming the lives of approximately 59,000 individuals in more than 150 countries each year.
