Bavarian Nordic Enters License and Manufacturing Agreement for its Mpox Vaccine with Serum Institute of India
– Bavarian Nordic A/S (OMX: BAVA) announced today a license and manufacturing agreement for its MVA-BN mpox vaccine with Serum Institute of India Pvt. Ltd. (“SII”). Under the agreement, the companies will undertake a technology transfer of the current manufacturing process for MVA-BN to SII to enable supply for the Indian market, for which SII obtains the license to sell and distribute the vaccine. Furthermore, upon the relevant regulatory approvals, the agreement enables SII to perform contract manufacturing of MVA-BN for Bavarian Nordic which expands the manufacturing capacity, ensuring global access even during outbreaks of mpox.
The license agreement is based on a profit-sharing model with no associated upfront or milestone payments. SII will be responsible for seeking and maintaining regulatory approval of the vaccine in India. The parties will cover their own costs associated with the technology transfer.
Bavarian Nordic continues to explore additional opportunities to establish partnerships to ensure the equitable access to MVA-BN, including with local African manufacturers.
