GSK Wins China Approval for Ultra-Long-Acting Exdensur in Nasal Polyps

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

GlaxoSmithKline ( (GB:GSK) ) has provided an update.

GSK has secured Chinese approval for Exdensur (depemokimab) as an add-on therapy for adults with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps whose disease remains uncontrolled despite systemic corticosteroids and/or surgery. The drug is the first ultra-long-acting biologic for this indication in China, reflecting GSK’s push to consolidate its leadership in respiratory biologics in a major growth market.

The green light from China’s regulator is backed by phase III ANCHOR data showing statistically significant reductions in nasal polyp size and nasal obstruction with twice-yearly dosing, with a safety profile comparable to placebo plus standard of care. Combined with earlier approvals for severe asthma in China and multiple markets for asthma and CRSwNP, Exdensur’s broader rollout strengthens GSK’s position in type 2 inflammation-driven respiratory diseases and expands treatment options for a large population of patients with persistent, debilitating symptoms.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:GSK) stock is a Sell with a £19.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on GlaxoSmithKline stock, see the GB:GSK Stock Forecast page.
