As CEPI activates its highest-level response to the Bundibugyo Ebola emergency in DRC and Uganda, we mapped Africa's Phase 1 trial capacity. 45 institutions across 17 countries responded. Explore the full Summary Report and searchable site database here: Read more
Clinical trials of vaccines for high-mortality pathogens (such as Nipah and Ebola) during outbreaks face significant methodological and ethical challenges. This paper examines key ethical issues in such outbreak clinical trial designs. Read more
CEPI has developed a guidance document defining key Phase 1 elements to harmonize safety and immunogenicity assessment, enable comparability across candidates, support dose selection, and accelerate progression to Phase 2/3 during outbreaks, while ensuring ICH-GCP compliance. Read more
Resources
In collaboration with TGHN, CEPI created this playbook to bring together the many tools, resources and materials generated for pandemic preparedness and response from the COVID-19 pandemic. The first (Regulatory) chapter is now available.
TRANSVAC Academy offers training modules in vaccine R&D including grant management, statistics, cytometry and advanced process development. CEPI funded scholarships are provided to selected applicants from LMICs.
SPEAC is a CEPI and Brighton Collaboration project. SPEAC provides vaccine safety tools, resources, and expertise throughout the vaccine development process to enhance safety and build confidence in vaccines.
Monitoring Vaccine Performance against SARS CoV-2 Variants
The IVAC COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness Project (a CEPI- funded global systematic review which also includes neutralization capacity) outputs are publicly available on VIEWhub to assist all policy makers
International Pandemic Preparedness Secretariat
The IPPS serves to join up relevant states, the private sector, and global health institutions in support of the 100 Days Mission, across vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics. It performs a global annual progress review related to the 100 DM which feeds into implementation reports.
Vaccine Development
Process Maps
The UK Vaccine R&D Network has developed vaccine development maps to show key stages in human and veterinary vaccines development up to Phase III clinical trials. These process maps and associated case studies provide support in understanding key stages in vaccine development and where bottlenecks could cause delays.
