Following the update, the group’s share price edged up 0.1 percent in early trading on London’s top-tier FTSE 100 index, as the group also upgraded its full-year outlook for sales. 

“GSK has started 2024 in rude health.Strong growth in vaccine and speciality medicines drove a double digit rise in group sales,” noted Derren Nathan, head of equity research at Hargreaves Lansdown. 

The first quarter saw GSK agree to buy Aiolos Bio for up to $1.4 billion, with a focus on an asthma medication still at the testing stage.
