Clinical trial timeline: With preclinical success complete, ICMR aims to initiate Phase 1 trials within approximately two years. Full regulatory clearance and rollout could follow in subsequent years. Deccan Chronicle
Relevance to Our Community
Although malaria is not typically associated with chronic pain, repeated infections can have long-lasting effects—fatigue, joint pain, muscle ache, even organ damage—all of which align with the patient profiles at Dr Sudhir’s Pain Relief Clinic. Vaccines like AdFalciVax have the potential to reduce these long-term risks by preventing infections in the first place.
