Japan’s MHLW Grants Expanded Indication Approval to GSK’s RSV Vaccine, Arexvy

Japan’s MHLW grants expanded indication approval to GSK’s RSV vaccine, Arexvy for adults aged 50-59 at increased risk of severe RSV disease

Overview

GSK plc announced that Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) has approved a regulatory application to extend the indication of Arexvy (respiratory syncytial virus vaccine, recombinant adjuvanted) for the prevention of RSV disease to include adults aged 50-59 at increased risk. Since September 2023, GSK’s RSV vaccine has been approved in Japan for adults aged 60 and over for the prevention of RSV disease.

Words from the CSO: GSK

Tony Wood, chief scientific officer at GSK, said: ""This approval reflects our ambition to protect people at increased risk from the severe consequences of RSV infection. Adults aged 50-59 with certain underlying medical conditions can face debilitating consequences from RSV, so we are pleased to offer those in Japan a vaccine for the first time.”

About RSV

  • RSV is a common contagious virus affecting the lungs and breathing passages and it impacts an estimated 64 million people of all ages globally every year. 
  • Adults can be at increased risk for RSV disease due to certain underlying medical conditions, immune compromised status, or advanced age. 
  • RSV infection can exacerbate conditions, including COPD, asthma, and chronic heart failure and can lead to severe outcomes, such as pneumonia, hospitalisation, and death.

Behind Global Expansion: Global Phase III Trial

  • This regulatory expansion was supported by results from a global phase III trial (including 4 clinical sites in Japan) that showed non-inferior immunogenicity in adults aged 50-59 at increased risk of RSV lower respiratory tract disease compared to those aged 60 and older. 
  • Safety and reactogenicity in the 50-59 at increased risk population were consistent with results from the initial phase III programme in adults aged 60 and older.

RSV vaccine approvals- To date, GSK’s RSV vaccine has been approved for adults aged 50-59 at increased risk in 35 countries, including the US, with regulatory decisions for other geographies undergoing review.  

The Antigen

  • Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine, Adjuvanted recombinant, contains recombinant RSV glycoprotein F stabilised in the prefusion conformation (RSVPreF3). 
  • This antigen is combined with GSK’s proprietary AS01E adjuvant.

MHLW Approval for RSV Vaccine

  • In September 2023, the MHLW approved GSK’s RSV vaccine for the prevention of RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) disease for adults aged 60 years and above in Japan. 
  • The use of this vaccine should be in accordance with official recommendations. 
  • As with any vaccine, a protective immune response may not be elicited in all vaccinees.

AS01 Adjuvant System

  • The GSK proprietary AS01 adjuvant system contains STIMULON QS-21 adjuvant licensed from Antigenics Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Agenus Inc. 
  • STIMULON is a trademark of SaponiQx Inc., a subsidiary of Agenus.

GSK is a global biopharma company with a purpose to unite science, technology, and talent to get ahead of disease together.
