Bavarian Nordic, GlaxoSmithKline stop smallpox vaccine venture

COPENHAGEN (AFX) - Bavarian Nordic AS said it has agreed with GlaxoSmithKline (LSE: GSK.L - news) not to pursue their collaboration for producing and marketing Imvamune, a third-generation smallpox vaccine currently under development.
The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding in 2004 to ensure sufficient production capacity from several facilities, and distribution of the vaccine to various international markets, at a time where Bavarian Nordic (Copenhagen: BAVA.CO - news) 's own production facility was not established.
Bavarian Nordic said it now has the capacity to produce the expected orders.
Production, marketing and distribution of Imvamune will be handled by Bavarian Nordic's own production facility and sales organisation in tandem with local and regional agents and distributors experienced in handling government contracts.
The termination of the agreement will have no negative financial consequences for Bavarian Nordic or GSK.
