Pfizer said on Monday its respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine Abrysvo generated a strong immune response in a late-stage study of four groups of adults aged 18 and older with a compromised immune system. A single 120 microgram dose of the vaccine generated strong neutralising antibodies against both subtypes of RSV, called RSV-A and RSV-B, across all groups in the study, Pfizer said. Abrysvo was well-tolerated in the study and showed a safety profile consistent with findings from other studies of the vaccine, it added. The drugmaker plans to submit the data to regulatory agencies for review. The study tested two doses of Abrysvo in 203 adults across four groups – those with a type of lung cancer, end-stage kidney disease, autoimmune inflammatory disorder, and solid organ transplant recipients – all of whom have compromised immunity and are at risk of developing severe RSV-associated disease. Pfizer’s vaccine is currently approved ...

German life science company Evotec is cutting 400 jobs as the company continues to deal with ‘a more difficult market environment’.” The company’s CEO Christian Wojczewski has announced an accelerated transformation programme for the company, designed to produce cost savings of at least €40m ($44m) next year, he said.

In its recently released research note, rating agency ICRA highlighted the encouraging growth prospects of the Indian active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) industry. ICRA expects the revenues of its sample set of companies to expand at a CAGR of 7-8 per cent between CY2023 and CY2029 from an estimated size of USD 13-14 billion in CY2023. This will be driven by a steady ramp-up in the pharmaceutical formulations industry, which in turn, will be aided by an increasing geriatric population, higher prevalence of chronic diseases, and rising demand for contract manufacturing with global customers looking to diversify their supply chain along with greater focus on domestic sourcing. ICRA forecasts the operating profit margin (OPM) of its sample set of companies to improve mildly in FY2025. Indian API industry players faced considerable volatility in earnings over FY2021-FY2023 on account of multiple headwinds such as rising raw material costs due to elevated crude ...
