BEIJING (XFN-ASIA) - Sinovac Biotech Ltd said China's State Food and Drug Administration has granted it approval to begin the Phase II clinical trial of Panflu, a human use vaccine against the H5N1 bird flu virus.

The vaccine was jointly developed with China's Center for Disease Control, the company said in a statement, adding that two versions of the vaccine have been approved for clinical trials.

'We are developing Panflu to vaccinate humans against H5N1 given the significant concern that it may evolve into a virus capable of human-to-human transmission,' said company president and CEO Yin Weidong.
