(CNN) インドの製薬会社バーラト・バイオテックは3日、同社が開発した新型コロナウイルスワクチン「コバクシン」について有効性が81%だったと明らかにした。ワクチンの開発にはインド医学研究評議会(ICMR)も参加している。
臨床試験(治験)には18~98歳の2万5800人が参加した。有効性は43件の感染事例の早期分析に基づいている。プラセボ(偽薬)を投与された参加者のうち36人が発症したが、コバクシンの接種を受けた参加者の発症は7件だった。
バーラト・バイオテックは、国立ウイルス研究所の分析によれば、コバクシンは英国で最初に発見された変異株についても効果があることが示されたと述べた。
バーラト・バイオテックのクリシュナ・エラ会長は、「きょうは、ワクチンの発見と科学、新型コロナウイルスとの戦いにおいて重要な節目となった」と指摘。コバクシンは新型コロナウイルスに対する高い臨床的有効性を示しただけでなく、変異ウイルスに対しても十分な免疫原性を示したと述べた。

(CNN) Indian pharmaceutical company Bharat Biotech announced on the 3rd that the efficacy of the new coronavirus vaccine "Kovaxin" developed by the company was 81%. The Indian Medical Research Council (ICMR) was also participating in the development of this vaccine.
25,800 people aged 18 to 98 participated in the clinical trial. Efficacy was based on an early analysis of 43 cases of infection. Thirty-six of the participants who received placebo (placebo) developed the disease, compared to only seven participants that had received the Kovaxin vaccination.
Bharat Biotech said an analysis from the National Institute of Viruses showed that Kovaxin was also effective against the mutant first found in the United Kingdom.
Krishna Ella, chairman of Bharat Biotech said, "Today was an important milestone in the discovery of vaccines and science together in fighting against the new coronavirus". He expressed that Kovaxin not only showed high clinical efficacy against the new coronavirus, but also showed sufficient immunogenicity against mutant viruses.
Kovaxin was a vaccine that required two doses. This was the
first India's nationally produced new coronavirus vaccine. More than 40 countries were
interested in Kovaxin, including Mongolia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, the Philippines,
Bahrain, Oman, Maldives and Mauritius.
So,
globally, so far there are four major sources of Covid-19 vaccine. The
western countries pharmaceutical companies have developed four types of
vaccines. In China there are also four. Other countries are Russia’s Sputnik V
and India’s Kovaxin.
