The drugmaker is racing against Pfizer to bring to market the first vaccine for RSV
won the support of a key panel of U.S. regulatory advisers for use in people aged 60 and older, as the drugmaker races against Pfizer Inc. to bring to market the first vaccine for RSV.
“It’s a very strong vote for GSK,” Adam Barker, an analyst at Goodbody, said in an email. “The stronger efficacy profile in those at very high risk will be the dominant factor.”GSK has been vying with Pfizer over which drugmaker will become the first to reach the U.S. market with vaccines for the lung illness.
. Last year, GSK stopped trials for a vaccine against the RSV virus in pregnant women due to potential risks. The RSV vaccine market for adults could be worth up to $10 billion by 2032, according to projections by Bloomberg Intelligence. Safety concerns emerged about Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare disorder that occurs when the body’s immune system attacks the nerves, sometimes resulting in temporary paralysis. In one study, a 78-year-old female was diagnosed with the syndrome in Japan, where there is a higher incidence in the population, according to Peggy Webster, vice president and head of vaccine safety at GSK. The same disorder occurred in two cases in Pfizer’s trial among close to 20,000 participants.
