LEUKOCARE AG, Germany, and PaxVax, Inc., USA, today announced that both partners have entered into a licensing agreement granting PaxVax access to LEUKOCARE’s proprietary SPS® formulation technology platform for the clinical development and subsequent commercialization of one of PaxVax’s live viral vaccine products.
The licensing agreement provides to PaxVax exclusive access to two product-specific pharmaceutical formulations based on LEUKOCARE’s Stabilizing and Protecting Solutions (SPS®) formulation platform. The undisclosed live adenovirus-based vaccine candidate will enter clinical trials by early 2017. Under the terms of the agreement, LEUKOCARE will receive milestone payments and annual license fees during development and undisclosed royalties on net sales during commercialization of the vaccine.
“For the entire pre-clinical development phase of the product LEUKOCARE has been a reliable partner in supporting our efforts to develop stabilizing formulations for our adenovirus-based vaccine. We are very pleased that the product will soon enter clinical trials”, said Jonathan Smith, CSO of PaxVax.
Michael Scholl, CEO with LEUKOCARE, said: “This license agreement with PaxVax demonstrates again our ability and strong expertise to back up our industry partners in pharmaceutical formulation development. We are proud to be involved in the successful product development of PaxVax and to support their efforts to bring the product into clinic and eventually to market.
