Enanta Pharmaceuticals will present Phase 2b data showing zelicapavir improves RSV symptom resolution by about a week and reduces hospitalization rates. The oral N-protein inhibitor also demonstrates high resistance barrier in pediatric studies. Presentations will occur at the ESCMID Global 2026 conference in Munich.
The FDA has expanded approval of GSK's Arexvy RSV vaccine to include adults aged 18 to 49 years at increased risk for lower respiratory tract disease, based on phase 3b trial data showing noninferior immune response.
GSK's RSV vaccine Arexvy received expanded FDA approval to cover all high-risk adults, adding approximately 21 million Americans under 50 to the eligible population and matching competitor approvals from Pfizer and Moderna.
Researchers have created a nasal vaccine platform that protects mice against flu, COVID-19, SARS, and bacterial infections by activating both innate and adaptive immune systems, offering a fundamentally different approach to disease prevention.
New real-world effectiveness data presented at RSVVW'26 demonstrate that GSK's Arexvy RSV vaccine was associated with a 75.6% reduction in RSV-related hospitalizations among adults aged 60 and older, with exploratory findings suggesting potential benefits for cardiovascular and respiratory complications.
The American Medical Association and University of Minnesota's Vaccine Integrity Project are creating an independent vaccine review system after major changes at the CDC raised concerns among public health experts.
The FDA agreed to review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine application after initially rejecting it, reversing course within a week. The agency will now consider full approval for adults 50-64 and accelerated approval for those 65 and above, with a decision expected by August 5.
