Janssen, the pharmaceutical division of the Johnson & Johnson companies, announced that it will scrap development of a vaccine for RSV in adults.
The company was in late-stage clinical trials of a vaccine to prevent lower respiratory tract disease in adults over the age of 60 with RSV. The vaccine being tested was using an adenovirus vector platform, similar to the technology behind in its Covid-19 vaccine. In an email to CNN, Johnson & Johnson did not elaborate further on the company’s reasons for shelving the vaccine, which had had looked promising in its phase II study including nearly 6,000 adults in 40 study sites across the US.
J&J’s stage III clinical trial had enrolled more than 27,000 patients at over 300 study sites in the US and other countries, according to ClinicalTrials.gov, a public database of ongoing research. The company said in a news release that the trial was being stopped after a portfolio review “to prioritize the most transformational assets for ongoing investment” and after an assessment of the “respiratory syncytial virus vaccine landscape.
