Sanofi SA said Monday that its infant respiratory-virus drug Nirsevimab met its primary endpoint in a Phase 3 trial.

The French pharmaceutical company said the drug, which was being investigated as a single-dose immunization against respiratory syncytial virus, provided statistically significant reductions in lower respiratory tract infections in infants.

The drug has been developed in partnership with AstraZeneca PLC. Regulatory submissions are expected to begin in 2022, Sanofi said.
