China's National Medical Products Administration accepted CanSino Biologics' (HKG:6185, SHA:688185) supplemental application for Menhycia, its ACYW135 meningococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine.
Through the application, the drugmaker seeks to expand the vaccine's applicable age range to children aged 3 months to 6 years old from the earlier approved range of 3 months to 3 years old, according to a Tuesday filing with the Hong Kong Exchange.
Cansino's Menhycia is the first MCV4 vaccine product in China, the filing stated.
