Treatments Being Tested

BIOLOGICAL

MTBVAC

MTBVAC (BBV169) vaccine is a freeze-dried powder containing live attenuated Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), which is presented as a lyophilized product in a 10- dose vial. After reconstitution with 1.0 mL sterile water for injection, one dose (0.1mL) of vaccine contains 5 x10\^5 CFU live attenuated M. tb. One dose (0.1mL) of the MTBVAC (BBV169) vaccine is to be administered in the right deltoid region via the intradermal route.

BIOLOGICAL

BCG Sii

Comparator vaccine: BCG Vaccine (TUBERVAC- Moscow strain), manufactured by Serum Institute of India, is a freeze-dried powder containing an attenuated strain of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin Mycobacterium bovis as a lyophilized product in a 10-dose vial. After reconstitution with 1.0 mL diluent (Sodium chloride) for injection, one dose (0.1mL) of BCG vaccine will be administered in the right deltoid region via the intradermal route.
