Emergent BioSolutions Inc. on Friday said the Food and Drug Administration accepted for review its application seeking approval of its anthrax vaccine candidate AV7909.

The Gaithersburg, Md., maker of vaccines and therapeutics, which has spent two decades working with the U.S. government on its anthrax program, is studying the vaccine for post-exposure prevention of disease following suspected or confirmed exposure in people ages 18 through 65 when administered in conjunction with recommended antibacterial drugs.

Emergent said the FDA set a target action date for a decision in April 2023.
