GSK Says Herpes Vaccine Candidate Study Failed to Meet Primary Objective
By Anthony O. Goriainoff
GSK said the phase 2 trial of its herpes vaccine candidate didn't meet its primary efficacy objective and therefore won't progress to a phase 3 study.
The U.K. biopharma company said Wednesday that no safety concerns were seen during the study of GSK3943104, its early-stage therapeutic herpes simplex virus, or HSV, vaccine candidate.
The company said it will continue with its HSV research for routine safety monitoring and create follow-up data that could offer insights into genital herpes.
"GSK intends to evaluate the totality of all these data and other studies to progress future research and development of its HSV program," the company said.
