Crucell Reaches Agreement with Sanofi Pasteur on Programs in the Field of Paediatric and Respiratory Vaccines
Bericht
Leiden, the Netherlands (July 8, 2010) - Dutch biopharmaceutical company Crucell N.V. (NYSE Euronext, NASDAQ: CRXL; Swiss Exchange: CRX) today announced that Crucell and sanofi pasteur reached an agreement on a series of transactions to restructure their long standing partnership.
Crucell will waive its right to terminate an existing license agreement between Crucell Switzerland and sanofi pasteur's subsidiary Shantha Biotechnics Limited (Shantha) for the development of paediatric vaccines, based on Haemophilus influenzae b. This termination right was triggered by the acquisition of Shantha by sanofi pasteur in July 2009.
At the same time, sanofi pasteur will return to Crucell the commercial rights that sanofi pasteur held under an exclusive license agreement for the development and commercialization of a cell-based influenza vaccine (FluCell), based on Crucell's PER.C6® technology. The exclusive license, agreed upon in December 2003, left Crucell with marketing rights for FluCell in Japan only. With the return of the world-wide marketing rights, Crucell will assume full responsibility for the FluCell program and will commence immediately with the development of a cell-based influenza vaccine.
