Novavax Soars on $1.4B Deal With Sanofi for COVID Vaccine Sanofi announced a deal worth up to $1.4 billion with Novavax on Friday for its COVID-19 vaccine, giving the Maryland-based biotech a much-needed boost to its struggling business. The French pharma is dropping $500 million upfront for Novavax’s COVID-19 vaccine, with the goals of co-commercializing its current formulation as well as developing a combination vaccine for COVID and flu. An additional $700 million is up for grabs in milestone payments. Along with another potential $200 million in milestones for additional vaccines made with Novavax’s Matrix adjuvant technology, deal totals $1.4 billion—more than double the biotech’s current market cap of $627 million. Thanks to the infusion of cash, Novavax will be able to lift its prior warning to investors issued in February 2023 expressing doubts over its ability to stay in business, its CEO John Jacobs told CNBC News. The deal skyrocketed Novavax’s stock Friday morning in premarket trading, up 120% at one point. In February 2024, the stock had dropped over 25% after the biotech’s fourth quarter earnings missed estimates. https://lnkd.in/euX2zaMN

🌐 Ensuring Quality Standards for mRNA-LNP Vaccines: Exciting news! The mRNA Vaccines Working Party of the European Pharmacopeia has taken a significant step forward in ensuring the quality and safety of mRNA-based vaccines. 📝 Draft General Chapters: (1) 5.36 mRNA-LNP Drug Product; (2) 5.39 mRNA Drug Substance; (3) 5.40 DNA Template. These chapters provide comprehensive guidelines for the manufacturing process, characterization, specifications, and analytical control of mRNA vaccines. As the number of clinical trial applications and marketing authorization requests for mRNA-containing products continues to rise, these standards are crucial for maintaining high-quality vaccines. 🗓️ Public Consultation: The draft texts are now available for public consultation until the end of June. 🔗 Read more about this important development on the EDQM website : https://lnkd.in/emqGucNx #mRNAVaccines #QualityStandards #Healthcare #CertestPharma

> Press Release 19 June: WACKER & CordenPharma are pleased to announce their joint consortium has officially entered the pandemic readiness state as of 1 June 2024. Following a successful expansion and qualification phase, the companies are now in stand-by phase for at least five years. In the event of a new pandemic, WACKER and CordenPharma have taken the necessary steps to produce 80 million vaccine doses a year within an extremely short time, with most of the production steps taking place in Germany, and every production step occurring within the European Union. As part of the consortium, CordenPharma is ready to manufacture custom and standard lipids in our Frankfurt (DE) and Chenôve (FR) sites, as well as provide aseptic fill & finish and packaging of the chosen mRNA-based vaccine at our Caponago (IT) facility. In its site in Halle (Germany), WACKER will produce plasmid DNA (pDNA), which is an essential starting material for the manufacture of mRNA. Dr. Michael Quirmbach, CEO of CordenPharma Group, commented: “Obtaining the official confirmation of pandemic readiness by the German government is a major milestone for CordenPharma. I am extremely proud of our teams across the CordenPharma sites involved in establishing and delivering our pandemic readiness plan on schedule. We are now ready, together with our partner WACKER, to manufacture end-to-end mRNA-based vaccines for the German government and other customers.” “We have expanded our Halle site into a Competence Center for mRNA production,” said WACKER CEO Dr. Christian Hartel. “WACKER has invested over 100 million Euros in this expansion and created over 100 highly qualified jobs. Our expertise in making mRNA and LNPs will contribute to the fight against future pandemics. Together with CordenPharma, we are proud to serve the German government in its pandemic preparedness plans.” Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/d6vBdaPK #CordenPharma #wacker #pandemic #mrna #pdna #lipids #injectables #fillfinish #pharmaceuticals #vaccine #germany

📢 More News in Pharma GSK has signed a licensing agreement worth up to €1.4bn with CureVac to develop mRNA vaccines for flu, Covid-19, and avian flu. The deal includes an initial €400mn payment and potential milestone payments of €1.05bn, plus royalties. This agreement will allow GSK to develop combination vaccines for flu and Covid-19, positioning them against competitors like Moderna, Pfizer, and BioNTech SE. CureVac, who are facing commercialisation challenges and a significant drop in shares, will benefit from this cash injection and shift focus to early-stage oncology vaccines, cutting 30% of its workforce to save €25mn annually (𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐂𝐇 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐌𝐄). GSK will fully control vaccine development, enhancing its capabilities against evolving flu and Covid-19 variants. GSK's Chief Scientific Officer, Tony Wood, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership's potential to set new standards in mRNA vaccines. CureVac CEO, Alexander Zehnder, MD, MBA, emphasised the strategic shift to ensure long-term success despite the difficult decision to reduce staff. #Pharma #mRNA #vaccines #biotech #innovation #healthcare #virology #covid
