Abstract
Background: The AS01E-adjuvanted respiratory syncytial virus prefusion F protein vaccine (adjuvanted RSVPreF3) received its first marketing authorization in May 2023 for the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus lower respiratory tract disease in individuals aged ≥ 60 years.
Methods: We conducted a review of post-marketing safety surveillance data following adjuvanted RSVPreF3 administration. Spontaneous adverse events (AEs) that were reported worldwide since the first approval (3 May, 2023) to 2 May, 2025 in the GSK global safety database were analyzed.
Results: Up to 2 May, 2025, 13.4 million doses of adjuvanted RSVPreF3 were distributed globally. A total of 2861 spontaneous reports, including 7012 AEs (serious: 11.0%), were received. The most frequent AEs consisted mainly of non-serious reactogenic events. Of all reports, 1164 described vaccination errors, with most frequent errors consisting of either wrong product administration (N = 243) or administration to patients of an inappropriate age (N = 204). The majority (90.3%) of vaccination error reports were not associated with any other AEs. Adjuvanted RSVPreF3 was erroneously administered to pregnant individuals in 415 cases; most reports (95.2%) occurred without associated AEs. Observed-to-expected analysis of reports of Guillain-Barré syndrome (N = 37) did not suggest an increased risk compared to background incidence of this event and the reports of atrial fibrillation (N = 29) did not indicate an excess risk.
Conclusions: Review of the post-marketing surveillance data from 2 years of exposure to adjuvanted RSVPreF3 showed that the safety profile of the vaccine is consistent with that observed in clinical trials supporting an unchanged and favorable benefit-risk profile for the vaccine. Additional post-marketing surveillance is ongoing to further evaluate a potential risk of rare AEs, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, following adjuvanted RSVPreF3 vaccination.
期刊介绍:
Drug Safety is the official journal of the International Society of Pharmacovigilance. The journal includes:
Overviews of contentious or emerging issues.
Comprehensive narrative reviews that provide an authoritative source of information on epidemiology, clinical features, prevention and management of adverse effects of individual drugs and drug classes.
In-depth benefit-risk assessment of adverse effect and efficacy data for a drug in a defined therapeutic area.
Systematic reviews (with or without meta-analyses) that collate empirical evidence to answer a specific research question, using explicit, systematic methods as outlined by the PRISMA statement.
Original research articles reporting the results of well-designed studies in disciplines such as pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacovigilance, pharmacology and toxicology, and pharmacogenomics.
Editorials and commentaries on topical issues.
Additional digital features (including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations) can be published with articles; these are designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. In addition, articles published in Drug Safety Drugs may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand important medical advances.
