Globe Biotech applies for clinical trial of vaccine

Globe Biotech Limited, the only Bangladeshi company which has developed a coronavirus vaccine, has submitted a protocol to Bangladesh Medical Research Council (BMRC) for ethical approval to conduct the clinical trial of their vaccine ‘Bangavax’.

The protocol was submitted around 12:30 pm on Sunday (January 17).

Dr. Asif Mahmud, in-charge of the firm’s Molecular and Cell Biology unit and assistant manager of Globe Biotech Limited, confirmed the matter.

He said, “Contract research organization (CRO), on behalf of the company submitted the protocol to BMRC. The human trial will be started once BMRC approved this. It will be a trial of Phase-1 of any vaccine in Bangladesh which is a milestone for us.”
