SK Bioscience is fast-tracking its global market strategy for its next-generation pneumococcal vaccine. Nine years following the start of their joint development with Sanofi, the company has now progressed to the last phase of clinical trials for commercialization. SK Bioscience has also been improving its vaccine production facilities to prepare for the commercial manufacturing of pneumococcal vaccines.

SK Boscience announced on 11th that SK Bioscience and Sanofi have submitted a Phase 3 Investigational New Drug application (IND) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its jointly developed 21-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine candidate, GBP410 (Sanofi’s project name: SP0202).
