Don’t Miss TipRanks’ Half-Year Sale

The latest update is out from Shionogi & Co ( (JP:4507) ).

Shionogi & Co., Ltd. has submitted a supplemental New Drug Application in Japan to expand the use of its oral antiviral drug, ensitrelvir, for treating COVID-19 in pediatric patients aged 6 years and older. This move follows positive Phase 3 study results showing the drug’s safety and efficacy in children, and if approved, it will address the unmet need for oral antiviral treatments in this age group. Ensitrelvir, also known as Xocova® in some markets, has already received emergency and full regulatory approval in Japan and is under review in other regions. The drug has shown promising results in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 in post-exposure scenarios, marking a significant step in Shionogi’s efforts to strengthen its position in the antiviral market.
