    Toekomst NVI
    vrijdag, 04 december 2009
    Toekomst NVI wordt verkend

    In februari 2009 heeft minister Klink van Volksgezondheid, Welzijn en Sport, per brief aan de Tweede Kamer laten weten dat het Nederlands Vaccin Instituut (NVI) in de toekomst een verschuiving van taken krijgt. De voornaamste koerswijziging is dat de vaccinproductietaken van het NVI worden afgestoten. Dit omdat het voor een zeer kleine vaccinproducent als het NVI steeds moeilijker is om te voldoen aan de steeds strenger wordende, internationaal geldende kwaliteitseisen tegen acceptabele kosten. Het ministerie van VWS zal daarom de productiefaciliteiten gaan verkopen.
    De inkoop, distributie en opslag van vaccins blijven in publieke handen, evenals onderzoek en ontwikkeling. Deze taken blijven uitgevoerd worden voor het Rijksvaccinatieprogramma (RVP) en het Nationaal Programma Grieppreventie. Op dit moment wordt onderzocht hoe en waar deze taken binnen de overheid goed georganiseerd kunnen worden.
    Als eerste stap naar de de feitelijke afstoot van productiefaciliteiten wordt nu een marktverkenning uitgevoerd naar de interesse van private partijen.
    Deze verkenningen helpen in de besluitvorming over de toekomst van het NVI: wat wordt overgenomen door private partijen, wat blijft een taak van de overheid en hoe willen wij samenwerken met wetenschap en industrie. Deze besluitvorming verwachten we in de eerste helft van 2010 in de vorm van een zogenaamd Kaderbesluit. Daarna start de uitvoering van het transitietraject. De transitie moet eind 2012 zijn afgerond.)

    Crucell may add polio to protect vaccine sales
    Crucell to add sixth antigen to paediatric vaccines
    Might collaborate with Dutch institute on polio
    By Aaron Gray-Block

    AMSTERDAM, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Dutch biotech firm Crucell NV (CRCL.AS)CRCL.O will likely look to add a sixth antigen to its portfolio of childhood vaccines as part of expected product add-ons after a stake sale to Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.N), Crucell said on Tuesday.
    Crucell's Quinvaxem vaccine, a mix of vaccines against five childhood diseases, has driven its sales growth in recent years, but adding a sixth vaccine could be necessary to maintain Crucell's market position, which is coming under pressure.
    "We are working on an hexavalent vaccine but for competitive reasons we are not mentioning what the sixth antigen will be," Crucell spokeswoman Oya Yavuz said.
    Despite Crucell's reluctance to reveal what antigen it will acquire, the World Health Organisation said polio is likely to be added in future to the pentavalent paediatric vaccines bought by UNICEF, forming an hexavalent vaccine. An hexavalent vaccine is already used in industrialised countries.
    This means companies that currently supply pentavalent vaccines to UNICEF might in future wish to add inactivated (injectible) polio vaccine in their combination and then apply for WHO prequalification to continue supplying UNICEF with their paediatric vaccines.
    UNICEF already buys oral polio vaccines, but Crucell's rivals have access to injectible polio vaccines.
    VALUE ADDED
    India's Panacea Biotec (PNCA.BO) has access to injectible polio vaccines via its collaboration with the Netherlands Vaccine Institute (NVI), while peer Indian firm Shantha Biotechnics has access via Sanofi-Aventis (SASY.PA), which took control of the firm last year.
    Sales of Crucell's Quinvaxem vaccine -- which consists of diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B and influenza vaccines -- have already come under pressure by the emergence of Panacea Biotec and Shantha Biotechnics. [ID:nLS212056]
    Rabo Securities analyst Fabian Smeets said the long-term value in Crucell acquiring access to a polio vaccine would not be in the vaccine itself but in adding it to Quinvaxem.
    And Crucell has cash to fund an entry into polio following a 300 million euro equity stake sale in September Johnson & Johnson.
    Crucell is already developing vaccines for Yellow Fever, Tuberculosis, Malaria, Ebola and Marburg and HIV, alongside antibody drugs to treat Rabies and Hepatitis C, and has said the Johnson & Johnson cash will boost its pipeline development and provide it cash to make acquisitions.
    The NVI said Crucell could enter into a polio collaboration with the government-based institute, which supplies bulk inactivated polio vaccines to several companies.
    The NVI -- one of four groups that produce injectible polio vaccines including Sanofi-Aventis, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK.L) and the smaller Statens Serum Institute in Denmark -- declined to say how much such a collaboration would cost Crucell. (Editing by David Holmes)

    Ter aanvulling Hexa-Polio-NVI(zie o.a. vorige pagina's).

    De KANS(pas-op-personeel!) is groot dat de onderneming onder J&J gevestigd blijft in Nederland en dat het vaccinonderzoek zijn positie behoudt. Brus: 'J&J heeft geconcludeerd dat Crucell unieke eigenschappen heeft om in Nederland een succes te maken van vaccins. Sta eens stil bij de grote staat van dienst van het RIVM in Bilthoven met het Nederlands Vaccin Instituut, het NVI. Dat heeft in de wereld een cruciale rol gespeeld in het succesvol produceren van vaccins op grote schaal. Overigens werken we samen met het NVI om het centrum te worden in de ontwikkeling van vaccins in de wereld.'

    HET NVI, WAARVOOR DE OVERHEID EEN NIEUWE EIGENAAR ZOEKT, 'IS ZEKER IETS WAT ONZE INTERESSE HEEFT', aldus Brus. Op de vraag of Crucell ook interesse heeft voor de werknemers en de gloednieuwe celfabriek van Solvay in Weesp, tegenwoordig dochter van Abbott Laboratories, zegt Brus: 'Belangstelling voor de mensen hebben we zeker, maar of we iets aan die fabriek hebben? J&J brengt ons in elk geval de mogelijkheden om nauwkeurig naar dit soort zaken te kijken.

    Dutch state puts vaccine maker up for sale

    AMSTERDAM, Feb 15 (Reuters) - The Dutch government has put the production operations of its vaccines institute NVI up for sale at a time when large drugs firms are increasingly interested in acquiring vaccine makers

    Dutch vaccine maker Crucell last year agreed to a 1.75 billion euro ($2.4 billion) takeover from United States healthcare company Johnson & Johnson, which wanted access to Crucell's childhood vaccines and its potentially lucrative flu vaccines.

    Once disdained as a low-margin business, the vaccines market has become far more interesting for big pharmaceuticals in recent years because with so many patents expiring they are facing increasing competition from generic products.

    The NVI's public role -- of buying, storing and distributing vaccines, as well as of research and development -- were transferred to the Dutch government's public health agency RIVM at the start of this year.

    But NVI, which has about 400 employees, will no longer produce vaccines under public ownership and its production facilities are up for sale.

    The NVI institute is one of four groups that produce injectible polio vaccines: The others are France's Sanofi-Aventis, Britain's GlaxoSmithKline and the smaller Statens Serum Institute in Denmark.

    It also produces both viral and bacterial vaccines, including a combined diphtheria-tetanus-polio vaccine and it has worked on a new combination meningitis vaccine with U.S. company Wyeth, which has been acquired by Pfizer.

    American Appraisal has been appointed as the Dutch government's advisor to a deal.

    The Hague, The Netherlands, February 15, 2011

    The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport in the
    Netherlands starts with the sale of the production
    activities of the Netherlands Vaccine Institute
    The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (Ministerie van
    Volkgezondheid, Welzijn en Sport) has announced that it
    commences with the sale of the production activities of the
    ´Nederlands Vaccin Instituut´ (NVI). The sales process starts on
    February 15, 2011.

    In January 2010 the Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport informed the
    House of Representatives that the NVI was going to change course. NVI’s
    public tasks, concerning procurement, warehousing and distribution of
    vaccines and the public vaccine research and development tasks, are
    integrated into the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the
    Environment (RIVM) as per 1 January 2011. The production of vaccines
    under public ownership will be ended. The production and the production
    facilities are put up for sale to the private sector.
    In the past NVI’s production of vaccines played an important role in the
    availability of vaccines and vaccines related technology worldwide. NVI
    transferred its knowledge on vaccines mainly via the transfer of
    technology and stem cells to various public and private institutions.
    Within its modern and compliant production facilities, the production
    entity in Bilthoven produces biopharmaceutical products such as viral and
    bacterial vaccines. Over the years, various types of vaccines have been
    produced in a validated and certified production environment.
    The present manufacturing activities consist of the production of
    inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) as bulk- or final product, BCG vaccines
    used in after-surgery treatment of bladder cancer, the combined
    diphtheria-tetanus-polio (DTP) vaccine and the tetanus toxoid (Ttox)
    vaccine used in the vaccination of children and adults. Contract
    manufacturing for third parties is within the scope of activities up for sale.
    The production environment, located in the Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
    Science Park in Bilthoven, meets the high standards of Good
    Manufacturing Practices.
    The sale of NVI’s production activities starts officially on February 15,
    2011. American Appraisal has been appointed to act as advisor to the
    Ministry of Health Welfare and Sport during the sale of the production
    activities of NVI. All parties interested in the abovementioned sales
    process should state their interest via American Appraisal, before March 4,
    2011.

    WHO faciliteert nieuw poliovaccin technology transfer Auteur:
    Dr. Wilfried Bakker
    Als onderdeel van de voorbereidingen op de wereldwijde eradicatie van polio ontwikkelt het RIVM voor de World Health Organization (WHO) een nieuw en veilig poliovaccin voor locale productie in ontwikkelingslanden.
    Recent zijn klinische lots van het geïnactiveerde poliovaccin (IPV) geproduceerd, gebaseerd op verzwakte “Sabin” poliovirusstammen. Dit Sabin-IPV vaccin zal binnenkort in een klinische studie in mensen worden getest. Daarnaast zal de ontwikkelde technologie worden overgedragen aan producenten in opkomende landen. Hiervoor zijn de voorbereidingen gestart en de WHO heeft de eerste twee potentiële partners geselecteerd.
    De WHO en het RIVM zijn hiertoe financieel in staat gesteld door de Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

    (Btw, eerste twee potentiële partners zijn Panacea Biotech en LG Life Sciences).
