First in Human Phase 1 Ascending Dose Study of PanChol in Healthy Volunteers

PanChol is a new second generation live-attenuated oral cholera vaccine (OCV) that circumvents limitations of previous live-attenuated OCVs. In contrast to other live OCVs, PanChol is derived from a current circulating pandemic V. cholerae strain, thus eliminating the risk of vaccine-derived genes from extinct V. cholerae strains (such as CVD 103-HgR) recombining with circulating V. cholerae strains.
