Pfizer's RSV Vaccine Abrysvo Shows Positive Response After Single Dose

By Michael Susin

 

Pfizer on Monday said that top-line data from a late-stage study regarding its vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, showed that the treatment generated strong neutralizing responses after a single dose in adults.

The company said the Phase 3 study evaluating two doses of Abrysvo versus placebo in adults with immunocompromising conditions who are at risk of developing severe RSV-associated lower respiratory tract disease, showed that a single dose of the drug generated strong neutralizing response across all cohorts and age groups. The drug was also well tolerated during the trial, showing a safety profile consistent with other studies of the vaccine.

Pfizer said it plans to share these findings at an upcoming scientific conference and to submit these data to the regulatory agencies for review.
