Merck said the Food and Drug Administration has accepted for priority review the company's V116 investigational pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.

Merck said the FDA has set a target action date of June 17 for the review. The FDA grants priority review to drugs and vaccines that would provide a significant improvement in the safety, effectiveness of the treatment or prevention of a serious condition.

"Invasive pneumococcal disease poses a greater risk to older adults or those with weakened immune systems," said Eliav Barr, Merck Research Laboratories' chief medical officer.

Barr said V116 would be the first pneumococcal conjugate vaccine specifically designed to address the serotypes that cause most adult invasive pneumococcal disease.
