Broader label for GSK's Arexvy after new European nod

30 August 2024

The European Commission has authorized GSK's (LSE: GSK) Arexvy (respiratory syncytial virus vaccine) for preventing lower respiratory tract disease caused by RSV in adults aged 50-59 with underlying health conditions.

This follows the vaccine's previous approval for adults aged 60 and over in Europe and the USA, with Japan expected to follow later this year.

The decision addresses a significant need, as an estimated 20 million adults aged 50-59 in Europe have conditions like COPD, asthma, heart failure, and diabetes, increasing their risk for severe RSV complications.
