The Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) and the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) granted permission to initiate phase 1 and 2 human clinical trials. The clinical trials began at the New Delhi AIIMS on July 24, 2020 and the trials are currently underway. The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to a lot of potentially dangerous misinformation.
