Bharat Biotech announced a strategic partnership with GSK to develop a pioneering vaccine for Shigellosis, a severe bacterial diarrhoeal condition.
The altSonflex1-2-3 vaccine candidate, initially developed by GSK, is making strides with Bharat's collaboration, standing out amongst the most advanced Shigella vaccines worldwide.
The initiative is crucial due to the absence of a licensed Shigella vaccine and mounting antimicrobial resistance. Bharat Biotech will oversee further development, including Phase 3 trials and mass production, with GSK supporting funding and commercial strategies.
