Zydus Lifesciences announced that the safety and efficacy analysis data from the phase-III clinical trial of its Covid-19 vaccine ZyCoV-D has been examined and published in The Lancet, a reputed and well known medical journal.
The clinical trial of ZyCoV-D was one of the most significant trials for a Covid-19 vaccine in India. It was conducted on more than 28,000 adult volunteers at over 50 sites. The vaccine has shown good stability at a temperature of 25 degrees C for at least three months. The thermostability of the vaccine will help in easy transportation and storage of the vaccine and lower any cold chain breakdown challenges.
