and Variant Neutralization Results — In April 2021, Ocugen announced that its co-development partner, Bharat Biotech International Limited ("Bharat Biotech"), shared positive results from the second interim analysis of its Phase 3 clinical trial of COVAXIN showing 78% overall efficacy against COVID-19 disease, 100% efficacy against severe COVID-19 disease (including hospitalization), and 70% efficacy against asymptomatic COVID-19 infection, indicating the potential to significantly reduce virus transmission. COVAXIN has additionally demonstrated a remarkable safety profile with several million doses administered to date in India. Moreover, in-vitro studies conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research-National Institute of Virology have provided data suggesting effectiveness in neutralizing the double mutant India variant, the U.K. variant, and the Brazil variant. Based on broad immunogenicity, Ocugen believes that COVAXIN has the potential to be effective against other emerging variants. COVAXIN is based on proven technology and Ocugen plans to consider clinical development in special populations, such as children, as well as booster doses.
