New Delhi, Sep 15: Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) Dr V G Somani on Tuesday gave permission to Serum Institute of India to resume clinical trial of the Oxford COVID-19 vaccine candidate in the country while revoking its earlier order of suspending any new recruitment for phase two and three trial. The DCGI, however, put certain conditions like taking extra care during screening, providing additional information in informed consent and close monitoring for adverse events during follow-up of the study which have to be “scrupulously” followed by Serum Institute of India (SII).
SII has also been asked to submit to the DCGI’s office details of medication used in accordance with the protocol for management of adverse events. The DCGI had on September 11 directed Serum Institute of India to suspend any new recruitment in the phase two and three clinical trial of the Oxford COVID-19 vaccine candidate till further orders in the backdrop of pharma giant AstraZeneca pausing the clinical trials in other countries because of ”an unexplained illness” in a participant in the study.
On Saturday, British-Swedish biopharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford said clinical trials for their coronavirus vaccine have resumed in the UK after the Medicines Health Regulatory Authority’s (MHRA) confirmed that the trials were safe. SII, which has partnered with AstraZeneca for manufacturing the vaccine candidate for COVID-19, on Tuesday submitted the recommendations of the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), UK and DSMB, India, and requested for permission to restart enrolment in the clinical trial.
According to Tuesday’s order issued by DCGI, the DSMB, UK, recommended that the investigators recommence all immunization in their clinical trials subject to certain conditions. DSMB, India, also has recommended to continue the study and enroll the remaining participants in the clinical trial as per protocol subject to certain conditions.
According to the order, SII has submitted revised participant information sheet, revised informed consent form and additional safety monitoring plan for the evolved participants. The Pune-based firm has also submitted a summary of safety follow up of seven days post first vaccination, stating that no serious adverse events were experienced by any of the subjects till the date of the reporting, and the reported adverse events were stated to be mild, resolved on their own and did not have any sequale.
“In view of the above, I Dr V G Somani, Drugs Controller General of India, Central Licensing Authority, after careful examination of your reply and the recommendations of the DSMB in India and in UK revoke herewith the order dated September 11 issued under Rule 30 of the New Drugs and Clinical Trials Rules, 2019. “You may recommence the clinical trial as recommended by DSMB, India, as per already approved protocol and the provisions laid down under the New Drugs and Clinical Trial Rules, 2019, subject to the conditions mentioned,” the order said.

UAE Official Says Israel Accord Should Dispel Doubts Over F-35 Sale

DUBAI: The United Arab Emirates wants to modernise its military and a request for U.S. F-35 warplanes has been on the table since before a normalisation deal with Israel, the minister of state for foreign affairs, Anwar Gargash, said on Tuesday.
The agreement, known as the Abraham Accord, should dispel “any grain of doubt” on why the Gulf state should get stealth F-35 fighter jets from the United States, Gargash told reporters.
“The UAE seeks like any country that takes its military seriously, to modernize its military, always, so our request for the F35 and other systems pre-dates this agreement,” he said.
The UAE’s existing F-16 jets are now almost two decades old and it is time to renew them, he said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said his government would oppose any U.S. F-35 warplane sales to the UAE, despite forging relations with the Gulf power. U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday told Fox News he would have no problem selling the planes to the UAE.
The UAE and Gulf neighbour Bahrain are set to sign normalisation accords with Israel at a White House ceremony on Tuesday.
Gargash said the country’s decision to normalise ties broke a “psychological barrier” and is the way forward for the region, giving it more leverage.
He said Israel suspending its planned annexation of Palestinian land would stop the two-state solution being undermined and that the United States’ mediator role was assurance that further annexation would be suspended.
The Emirati minister said it was not the time to revise the Arab Peace Initiative, and that it remains the cornerstone of the UAE’s commitment to the Palestinian cause.
A strategic breakthrough is needed, he said, but “it will not happen overnight”.

49ers seek to ban fan who sent racist messages to Cardinals' Budda Baker
49ers seek to ban fan who sent racist messages to Cardinals' Budda Baker
Baker posted what appeared to be Instagram messages from a user identified only as "niners8" that referred to him as a slave and called him the N-word.

The San Francisco 49ers are trying to identify the fan who sent profanely racist messages to a player from a rival team in an effort to ban the person from games and events.
The team responded Tuesday to racist messages sent to Arizona Cardinals safety Bishard "Budda" Baker, which Baker posted to his social media accounts Monday. In what appeared to be private messages on Instagram, a user identified only as "niners8" called Baker a "monkey ass n-----" and a "slave."
"Im all good with opposing fans talking trash," Baker wrote on Twitter with screenshots of the messages. "But This right here man... All you can do is pray for ppl like this."
NBC News was unable to find the Instagram account Tuesday.
Baker played with the Cardinals against the 49ers on Sunday in the NFL's opening week, delivering a notable tackle against 49ers tight end George Kittle. The Cardinals won, 24-20.
The 49ers said the anonymous fan did not represent the team or The Faithful, the moniker given to San Francisco fans. The team said it was working to identify the person who sent the messages to ban the person from events.
The Morning Rundown
Get a head start on the morning's top stories.
"Incidents like this demonstrate how much work remains to be done to address racism and hate in our society," the 49ers' statement said. "We remain steadfast in our commitment to that work."
The NFL has struggled to meaningfully address racism and racial injustice, despite public gestures to support social causes. When its season began Thursday in Kansas City, Missouri, the field at Arrowhead Stadium read "End Racism."
Kansas City Chiefs fans stood together as, through a video feed, Alicia Keys sang "Lift Every Voice and Sing," a poem set to music that has often been referred to as the "Black national anthem." The opposing team, the Houston Texans, remained in the locker room.
After the Texans returned to the field, Chiefs fans booed players as both teams locked arms during a moment of silence "dedicated to the ongoing fight for equality." The gesture was seen as a show of unity.
Several Miami Dolphins players, including veteran defensive back Bobby McCain and linebacker Elandon Roberts, released a video Thursday that said they would stay inside for the "publicity parade," calling the decision to play the song a "way to save face."
"If you speak up for change, I'll shut up and play," McCain said in the video, which was obtained by ESPN.
Dolphins coach Brian Flores appeared at the end of the video in a T-shirt that read "Vote" across his chest.
"Before the media starts wondering and guessing, they just answered all your questions," Flores said. "We'll just stay inside."
Other teams also chose to stay inside at subsequent games during the rendition of "Lift Every Voice and Sing," the national anthem or both, including the Jacksonville Jaguars, the New York Jets and the Green Bay Packers.
