Zhifei Biological's Adult and Adolescent DTaP Vaccine Gains NMPA Trial Approval

Chongqing Zhifei Biological Co., Ltd. (SHE: 300122), based in China, announced that its Acellular Pertussis, Diphtheria, and Tetanus (Component) Combined Vaccine for Adolescents and Adults has received the Notice of Acceptance for Drug Clinical Trial Application (Acceptance Number: CXSL2500705) from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). This marks a significant step forward in the development of this new-generation vaccine.

Vaccine Innovation
The Component DTaP Vaccine for Adolescents and Adults represents an advancement in vaccine technology. It is formulated by combining separately purified effective components of pertussis with those of diphtheria and tetanus, ensuring consistent vaccine quality. This formulation is designed for the prevention of pertussis, diphtheria, and tetanus in healthy individuals aged 7 years and above.

Market Opportunity
Currently, there is no component DTaP vaccine for adolescents and adults approved for marketing in China. This acceptance by the NMPA paves the way for Chongqing Zhifei Biological to potentially introduce the first such vaccine in the country, addressing an unmet need in the market.-Fineline Info & Tech
