Pfizer withdraws EUA application for its Covid vaccine in India after government requests domestic safety trials
03/03/2022 / By Ramon Tomey
Vaccine manufacturer Pfizer last month withdrew the emergency use authorization (EUA) application for its Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine in India. The New York-based firm’s withdrawal followed its refusal to conduct a domestic safety trial for its vaccine, which India’s drug regulator required.
Pfizer decided to rescind its EUA application in India during a Feb. 2 meeting with the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), the country’s regulatory agency. CDSCO ordered the pharmaceutical giant to conduct a local trial in India “to determine if the vaccine is safe and generates an adequate immune response in citizens.”
According to the regulator, the trial is a prerequisite before an EUA can be granted to Pfizer’s BNT162b2 vaccine – made in partnership with German company BioNTech.
