Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine (GSK)

As part of a batch of recommendations issued Friday, the European Medicines Agency’s human medicines committee (CHMP) recommended rejecting Anavex’s Alzheimer’s disease drug, issuing a scathing review of the pill’s safety and efficacy issues. The committee said it was concerned that the pill, called blarcamesine, could contain cancer-causing impurities. In addition, its main clinical study failed to meet its objective, and a “high proportion of patients” stopped taking the drug because of central nervous system side effects. Last month Anavex said it planned to request a reexamination of blarcamesine from the European regulators, after CHMP warned a negative opinion was likely. Anavex has 15 days to file for reexamination. As part of Friday’s package of actions, the committee also recommended five new medicines and 10 label expansions. GSK secured a positive opinion for its RSV vaccine Arexvy to be expanded to patients 18 years or older, rather than its previous approval for just people aged 50 or over. Arexvy was approved by the European Medicines Agency in June 2023. This brings the RSV vaccine to an equal footing with its competitors: Pfizer’s Abrysvo and Moderna’s mResvia, which have both already been approved for adults aged 18 or older. GSK’s Exdensur also got a positive CHMP opinion for adults and adolescents 12 years and older with severe eosinophilic asthma as well as for severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Depemokimab is currently under review by the FDA, with a PDUFA date of Dec. 16. CHMP gave a positive opinion for four other new medicines: CHMP recommended nine other label expansions:
