Sanofi, Astra win EU approval for prevention of infant RSV

 The European Commission on Friday approved Sanofi and AstraZeneca's Beyfortus for the prevention of a common and highly contagious type of respiratory infections in infants.

The long-acting therapy, also known as nirsevimab, was given EU marketing authorisation for the prevention of disease from infections caused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Sanofi said in a statement.

In the United States, the product, in which Swedish Orphan Biovitrum also holds some rights, is still under regulatory review as a potential breakthrough therapy.

Beyfortus, given by intramuscular injection, was recommended for approval by the European Medicines Agency in September.
