SGS | Human Challenge Trials

Human Challenge Modelling SGS conducts human challenge studies to rapidly evaluate the efficacy of vaccines and antivirals in safely breaking the cycle of infection and disease caused by problem pathogens including RSV, influenza and hRV. New approaches outside of largescale field trials must be considered to provide early evidence of proof of principle in humans if the industry is to avoid costly failures in late phase. Our human challenge testing facility provides the means for clients to explore these new options.
