This is a phase-3 prospective, single-blinded, randomized, active controlled study conducted at 18 sites across India in 18-80 year-old subjects. This study has two groups; (i) immunogenicity-group, participants randomized either to CORBEVAX™ ( = 319) or COVISHIELD™ arms ( = 320).

Background: After establishing safety and immunogenicity of Biological-E's CORBEVAX™ vaccine in adult population (18-80 years) in Phase 1-3 studies, vaccine is further tested in children and adolescents in this study.
Methods: This is a phase-2/3 prospective, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating safety, reactogenicity, tolerability and immunogenicity of CORBEVAX™ vaccine in children and adolescents of either gender between <18 to ≥12 years of age in Phase-2 and <18 to ≥5 years of age in Phase-Phase-2/Phase-3 with placebo as a control. This study has two age sub-groups; subgroup-1 with subjects <18 to ≥12 years of age and subgroup-2 with subjects <12 to ≥5 years of age.
Background: We assessed the efficacy of a receptor-binding domain (RBD)-based protein subunit COVID-19 vaccine.
Methods: A randomised Phase-1/2 trial followed by a Phase-2 trial were conducted to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the COVID-19 vaccine Corbevax and select to an optimum formulation. Healthy adults (n=460) without COVID-19 vaccination or SARS-CoV-2 infection in the Phase-1/2 study were randomly divided into four vaccine formulation groups.

The current scenario of typhoid fever warrants early prevention with typhoid conjugate vaccines in susceptible populations to provide lifelong protection. We conducted a multicenter, single-blind, randomized, Phase 2/3 study to assess the immunogenicity and safety of Biological E's Typhoid Vi-CRM conjugate vaccine (TyphiBEV) compared to Vi-TT conjugate vaccine manufactured by Bharat Biotech International Limited (Typbar-TCV; licensed comparator) in healthy infants, children, and adults from India. The study's primary objective was to assess the non-inferiority of TyphiBEV in terms of the difference in the proportion of subjects seroconverted with a seroconversion threshold value of ≥2.
