Nabi Inc. Starts Production Of CMV Disease-Preventing Drug

BOCA RATON, Fla. (Dow Jones)--Nabi Inc. (NABI) started work on the production of CMV NeutraGAM, an antibody-based therapeutic drug that could possibly prevent CMV disease in patients who receive solid organ transplants.

In a press release, the company said the product marks the first to result from its agreement with Chiron Corp. (CHIR), Emeryville, Calif., under which Nabi has exclusive rights to use several of
Chiron's vaccines.

In this case, Nabi will use Chiron's Cytomegalovirus vaccine and inject it into healthy donors which should produce antibodies. Nabi will then produce NeutraGAM with the anitbodies and use it in clinical trials later this year to see if it prevents CMV disease in donor receipients.

As part of the agreement, both Chiron and Nabi will share the profits resulting from any sales of the product.

Chiron Corp. and Nabi Inc. are biotechnology companies.
