iNCOVACC is first intranasal vaccine to get both primary series and heterologous booster approval
India’s Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has granted approval for iNCOVACC (BBV154), under Restricted Use in Emergency Situation for ages 18 and above, for heterologous booster doses.
Developed by Indian vaccines company Bharat Biotech International, iNCOVACC is a recombinant replication deficient adenovirus vectored vaccine with a pre-fusion stabilized SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. This vaccine candidate was evaluated in Phases I, II and III clinical trials with successful results. iNCOVACC has been specifically formulated to allow intranasal delivery through nasal drops. The nasal delivery system has been designed and developed to be cost-effective in low- and middle-income countries.
None of the leading COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers like Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) and Moderna (Nasdaq: MRNA) are involved in the development of intranasal COVID-19 vaccines.
