Merck & Co. (MRK) on Friday said the European Medicines
Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use recommended
approval of the V920 investigational vaccine for the Ebola Zaire
virus.
The Kenilworth, N.J., drug maker said V920, if approved by the
European Commission, would be authorized under the brand name
Ervebo and indicated for active immunization of individuals 18
years of age or older.
The European Commission generally follows the CHMP's
recommendations.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration last month accepted and
granted priority review to Merck's biologics license application
for V920.
