UK pharma major GSK’s (LSE: GSK) Arexvy (respiratory syncytial virus vaccine, adjuvanted) is currently undergoing regulatory review with the potential of being approved in Europe for use in adults aged between 50 and 59 who are at an increased risk for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) recently accepted the company’s regulatory application to expand the use of Arexvy and a decision is anticipated in second-half 2024. A label expansion for Arexvy will strengthen its position as a competitor against US pharma giant Pfizer’s (NYSE: PFE) Abrysvo, says sector analytics firm GlobalData.

Arexvy was approved in Europe in June 2023 for use in adults aged 60 and older for the prevention of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by RSV. It was first approved in the USA in May 2023.
