Crucell yesterday announced it had received the first orders from US-headquartered Wyeth Biotech. The order represents the first move following the finalisation of the contract manufacturing agreement between the two companies at the end of 2005.
The agreement is for the formulation and filing of a MENINGITIS vaccine, but Crucell remained tight-lipped regarding the volume of this and any further orders. The vaccine will be supplied from Crucell's Swiss subsidiary, Berna Biotech, which the company acquired earlier this year. The CMO agreement is expected to have the first business impact for Crucell in 2007.
