Sanofi SA said Friday that its coronavirus booster vaccine,
developed alongside Britain's GSK PLC, has produced successful
results against the Omicron variant of the coronavirus in an
efficacy study.
The French biopharmaceutical company said its vaccine candidate
showed efficacy against the virus in an environment of high Omicron
variation. It showed 72% efficacy against the strain in adult, as
well as a favorable safety and tolerability profile, the company
said.
Along with positive data from two previous trials, the results
will be submitted to regulatory authorities for approval, Sanofi
said.
The results "indicate the potential of Sanofi-GSK's
next-generation Beta-based booster to be a relevant response to
public health needs," the company said.
