Brasilien. São Paulo Funds “Cocaine Vaccine,” Setting Sights on Human Trials
In early June, São Paulo Mayor Ricardo Nunes signed an agreement with the researchers behind Calixcoca, a “cocaine vaccine” in development since 2015. A team at the Federal University of Minas Gerais had previously used public funding to demonstrate the vaccine’s safety and efficacy in rats. Now, with over $800,000 USD from São Paulo, it’s expected to advance to human trials. (Filter, USA, 12.06.2023)
