Hyderabad: Dr Reddy’s Laboratories, the Indian partner of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), has not only sought approval from the Indian drug regulator, DCGI, for use of the single dose Russian vaccine, Sputnik Light, as a booster to the two-dose Sputnik V, but has also submitted a proposal for conducting trials of Sputnik Light as a booster to other vaccines.
The company is also working on bringing to India the two-dose vaccine for adolescents, Sputnik-M, that has been approved by the Russian regulator for use in children in the 12-18 age group.
“The same data has been made available to us here. We are in the process of reviewing and translating the data, and we will be having a conversation with DCGI within the next few months,” Deepak Sapra, CEO, API, Dr. Reddy’s Labs, said.
Pointing out that the company will have to conduct a clinical trial on the Indian population to use Sputnik-M on adolescents in India, he said that would depend on the guidance that the regulator will provide to the company.
