Alongside similar studies in the Netherlands, we plan to rapidly deliver a clinical trial vaccinating older people in Devon and Warwickshire with the BCG vaccine to assess whether it has a protective effect. If this proves to be the case, the programme has the potential to be rolled out nationally and internationally.
We are in urgent discussions with the UK Government who are very interested, however national health research resources in the UK are now over-stretched and so philanthropic support is vital to kick-start this trial. We urgently need your support to secure the £1.8 million required to deliver the trial in the UK. We have detailed trial protocols in place and ethical approval will be fast-tracked by the authorities so we will be ready to start the trial as soon as funding allows.
