ICMR refuses to endorse BHUs study on Covaxin side effects
cancel

New Delhi: A study conducted by Banaras Hindu University (BHU), which claimed that Covaxin induced the rare risks of stroke and Guillain-Barre syndrome, has failed to get nod from the Indian Council of Medical Research noting that the findings are "misleading."

The ICMR has written to the Editor of the New Zealand-based Drug Safety Journal to retract the recently-published Covaxin side effects study by authors from BHU as the apex research body has been "incorrectly and misleadingly acknowledged in the paper." "The ICMR is not associated with this study and has not provided any financial or technical support for the research," the apex research body wrote in the letter. "Further, you have acknowledged ICMR for research support without any prior approval of or intimation to lCMR, which is inappropriate and unacceptable," it added.

ICMR, DG, Dr Rajiv Bahl, in the letter, said that the apex research body cannot be associated with this poorly-designed study which purports to present a "safety analysis" of Covaxin. Dr Bahl has asked the study's authors and the journal's editor to remove the acknowledgement to ICMR and publish an erratum.

"We have also noticed that you have similarly acknowledged ICMR in similar previous papers without permission," Dr Bahl wrote. He also asked for an explanation from the study's authors on "why ICMR should not seek legal and administrative action" against them.
