GlaxoSmithKline ( (GB:GSK) ) just unveiled an update.

GSK has secured Japanese approval for Exdensur (depemokimab), the country’s first ultra-long-acting biologic for severe or refractory bronchial asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, adding to prior clearances in the US and UK and a positive regulatory opinion in the EU. Based on phase III SWIFT and ANCHOR data showing that twice-yearly dosing significantly reduced asthma exacerbations and improved nasal polyp size and nasal obstruction while maintaining a placebo-like safety profile, the therapy offers a convenient, durable option that could ease disease burden for patients and lower strain on healthcare systems, bolstering GSK’s competitive position in high-value respiratory biologics.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:GSK) stock is a Hold with a £17.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on GlaxoSmithKline stock, see the GB:GSK Stock Forecast page.
