Ongoing | Infectious Disease Accelerated Approvals Vaccines

This listing includes accelerated approvals (AAs) for infectious disease indications that have postmarketing requirement(s) for ongoing clinical trial(s) to verify clinical benefit.

Please refer to Drugs@FDA for the latest approvals and prescribing information for specific products. See Postmarket Requirements and Commitments for the status of specific requirements. 

Visit Accelerated Approvals for listings of ongoing, verified clinical benefit, and withdrawn infectious diseases and non-malignant hematological, neurological, and other disorder indications accelerated approvals.

Vigiv 2 (vaccinia immune globulin intravenous (human)) Treatment and/or modification of the following conditions, which are complications resulting from smallpox vaccination: eczema vaccinatum, progressive vaccinia, severe generalized vaccinia, vaccinia infections in individuals who have skin conditions such as burns, impetigo, varicella-zoster, or poison ivy; or in individuals who have eczematous skin lesions because of either the activity or extensiveness of such lesions, aberrant infections induced by vaccinia virus that include its accidental implantation in eyes (except in cases of isolated keratitis), mouth, or other areas where vaccinia infection would constitute a special hazard. 5/2/2005 PMR 1: Work with the FDA, and other public agencies as appropriate, to design and implement a clinical study protocol to include VIGIV dose ranging, and conduct a study to describe the treatment and clinical course of patients receiving VIGIV for complications of vaccinia infection when such a study is feasible, due to the actual or impending widespread use of VIGIV.  
  • 1"Ongoing" refers to accelerated approval (AA) applications that have not yet converted to full approval, and not to the status of the AA postmarketing requirement (PMR).
  • 2This PMR does not have a target completion date as it is dependent on when such a study is feasible, due to the actual or impending widespread use of VIGIV.
