GSK PLC said Friday that its respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, vaccine candidate showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful efficacy in adults aged 60 and over.

The London-listed pharmaceutical company said an efficacy analysis of the AReSVi 006 Phase 3 trial showed it offered exceptional protection for older adults from the serious consequences of RSV infection.

The company said it would start to engage with regulators immediately and that it expected regulatory submissions in the second half of the year.

"The AReSVi 006 trial will continue to evaluate both an annual revaccination schedule and longer-term protection over multiple seasons following one dose of the RSV older adult vaccine candidate," the company said.
