The clinical trial of HIPRA’s COVID-19 vaccine in people with immunocompromising conditions has now been launched in the Turkish sites.
The Turkish Clinical Study will aim to involve 60 volunteers from three hospitals in Turkey: two in Ankara (Ankara University Medical Faculty Hospitals and Hacettepe University Medical Faculty Hospitals) and one in Istanbul (Koç University Hospital).
The aim of the study is to discover whether or not HIPRA’s vaccine is able to reactivate or re-generate a sufficient immune response and increase the activity of the immune system (natural defenses) to SARS-CoV-2.
As you know, EATG is participating in the RBDCOV project, one of the 11 selected projects supporting clinical trials for a new vaccine that can go beyond Europe’s borders. This project is funded by the Horizon Europe Framework Programme (2021-2027).

The RBDCOV project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101046118
