▴ GSK starts phase 3 study of RSV maternal candidate vaccine
Currently no vaccine is available for respiratory syncytial virus

GlaxoSmithKline plc (LSE/NYSE: GSK) today announced that patient dosing has begun in phase 3 clinical programme investigating the safety and efficacy of its Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) candidate vaccine for maternal immunisation (GSK3888550A), following the presentation of positive phase 1/2 safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity data last month.

It is estimated that every year, 33 million cases of RSV occur in children less than 5 years of age globally, with more than 1.4 million hospitalizations of infants under 6 months of age.
