Vaccine market worth $52bn in 2016
By Nick Taylor, 18-Jan-2010

Global vaccine revenues will be $52bn (€36.2bn) in 2016, more than double the total for 2009, driven by new products and indication expansions of established therapies, according to a report.

Vaccines were considered a low-profit product but the industry's attitude has shifted in recent years. The patent cliff and threat from generics, weakened pipelines and strong government support have all played a role in pharma's re-evaluation of the market.

GBI Research reports that companies in the vaccine sector will be competing for a slice of a $52bn market by 2016. The report valued the market in 2009 at $24bn and predicts it will have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5 per cent until 2016.

Underpinning growth is increased investment in R&D following the success of premium priced products, such as Gardasil (human papillomavirus (HPV)), Cervarix (human papillomavirus) and Prevnar (pneumococcal conjugate), which became the first blockbuster vaccine.

Financial support of R&D is predicted to lead to the launch of novel vaccines. GBI states that companies are focusing on product differentiation to ensure the success of their innovative vaccines. A number of vaccines in development fit this model.

In disease sectors served by multiple vaccines companies are using new technologies to increase prices and boost profits. Pharma is also looking to maximise return from other vaccines through indication expansion.

For instance, Prevnar is being developed to be effective against additional serogroups and researchers are working to increase the number of HPV strains Gardasil is approved to protect against. GBI expects pharma “to use lifecycle management strategies to full effect”.

Away from the big pharma players there are a number of smaller companies with novel vaccine technologies and promising candidates. Many of these firms lack the financial strength to bring a product to market and consequently are expected to enter into licensing and alliance agreements.

'Medicijnen slokdarmkanker niet optimaal'
Gepubliceerd: donderdag 14 januari 2010 22:07
Update: donderdag 14 januari 2010 22:09

Sommige gepatenteerde medicijnen tegen slokdarmkanker werken mogelijk niet optimaal omdat de makers bij hun onderzoek gebruik hebben gemaakt van verkeerd celmateriaal. Dat hebben onderzoekers van het Erasmus Medisch Centrum in Rotterdam ontdekt. Zij maakten hun bevindingen donderdag bekend in de interneteditie van vakblad Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Om onderzoek te doen naar kanker, gebruiken wetenschappers zogenoemde cellijnen, verzamelingen van gelijke cellen die steeds opnieuw gekweekt kunnen worden. Die cellijnen worden gebruikt in laboratoria, bijvoorbeeld om te onderzoeken hoe de cellen van een bepaalde tumor reageren op chemotherapie of bestraling.

De onderzoekers van het Erasmus MC hebben ontdekt dat drie van de dertien cellijnen die worden gebruikt voor onderzoek naar slokdarmkanker, in werkelijkheid afkomstig zijn van long-, dikke darm- en maagtumoren. De 'vervuilde' lijnen zijn wereldwijd gebruikt voor meer dan honderd wetenschappelijke studies.

Twee van de drie foute cellijnen zijn bovendien gebruikt voor elf aanvragen van patenten op medicijnen in de Verenigde Staten. Als de juiste cellijnen waren gebruikt, dan waren de resultaten van die onderzoeken nauwkeuriger geweest en hadden de medicijnen wellicht beter gewerkt, aldus de onderzoekers

Daiichi Sankyo Receives Approval to Manufacture and Market Rezaltas(R) Combination Tablets to Treat Hypertension

Tokyo, Japan (January 20, 2010) - Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited (hereafter; Daiichi Sankyo) today announced that it has received approval in Japan to manufacture and market Rezaltas® combination tablets LD and HD for the treatment of hypertension.

Rezaltas® is a combination drug featuring the Daiichi Sankyo-developed olmesartan medoxomil (Olmetec®), a high-affinity ARB (angiotensin receptor blocker), and azelnidipine (Calblock®), a long-acting CCB (calcium channel blocker) that the company researched and developed with Ube Industries, Ltd. The LD tablet incorporates 10mg of olmesartan medoxomil and 8mg of azelnidipine. The HD tablet employs 20mg and 16 mg, respectively, of these substances.

ARBs and CCBs are often prescribed together in Japan because they address the multiple causes of hypertension in order to reduce blood pressure to target levels. Daiichi Sankyo has combined olmesartan medoxomil, which has proven exceptionally powerful in lowering blood pressure among ARBs, with azelnidipine, a CCB that delivers ongoing decreases in blood pressure while minimizing sympathomimetic hyperactivity. Clinical studies demonstrated that Rezaltas® consistently suppresses blood pressure for 24 hours while offering excellent tolerance.

Daiichi Sankyo has a long track record in developing and marketing medications to lower blood pressure, and the company is confident that Rezaltas® will contribute significantly to hypertension treatment.

Dynvax: Early Study Shows Hepatitis C Drug Safe
Last update: 1/26/2010 6:24:47 AM

DOW JONES NEWSWIRES Biopharmaceutical firm Dynavax Technologies Corp. (DVAX) said an early-stage trial found its hepatitis C treatment SD-101 was safe.

Shares were up 12% at $1.67 premarket, as the company also said the drug increased antiviral activity. In November, Dynavax regained all rights to its hepatitis C and cancer therapy programs when it exercised its option to purchase all of the equity of Symphony Dynamo Inc.

It also got $20 million as a result. Tuesday, Dynavax said SD-101 was well tolerated by patients. Chief Medical Officer J. Tyler Martin said the safety and antiviral activity in the study compared favorably to current treatments.

"We believe that further study may support a role for SD-101 as a supplement to current or emerging therapies to treat HCV," he said.

The company recently expelled some uncertainty related to safety worries. Last September, the Food and Drug Administration gave its experimental hepatitis B vaccine, Heplisav, the green light to restart clinical trials last fall after being put on hold for 18 months because of safety worries.

Novo Nordisk's Victoza Gets US Approval
Last update: 1/26/2010 3:05:41 AM(Adds detail and comment.)

By Gustav Sandstrom Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

STOCKHOLM (Dow Jones)--Shares in Novo Nordisk A/S (NOVO-B.KO) opened higher Tuesday after the Danish pharmaceutical company said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved its drug Victoza for treatment of type-2 diabetes.

The Copenhagen-based company said it expects to introduce Victoza in the U.S. market within weeks. However, it said the U.S. regulator requires that Victoza is labelled with a warning for thyroid cancer.

In previous tests, the drug caused thyroid tumors in rodents although there were no reported cancer cases in humans.

The U.S. marketing authorization also requires that patients and health-care providers are informed about potential risks of pancreatitis, Novo Nordisk said.

FDA approval allows Victoza to be used in the U.S. in monotherapy, as a second-line treatment, and in combination with oral diabetes drugs, the company said. Victoza, also known as Liraglutide, was launched in European markets in 2009, and gained regulatory approval in Japan last week.

Analysts have seen a big commercial potential for Victoza, in the U.S., in particular, which is the world's largest pharmaceuticals market.

Compared to diabetes treatment with insulin, it doesn't risk pushing blood sugar too low and it also helps patients lose weight.

An FDA expert panel in April last year came to a split decision on whether Victoza, a synthetic hormone that stimulates insulin production in the human body, was safe to be marketed after trials showed an increased incidence of tumors in rats and mice.

The drug will face competition from rival treatments such as Byetta LAR, which is expected to reach the market during 2010.

Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) and Amylin Pharmaceuticals Inc. (AMLN) partnered with Alkermes Inc. (ALKS) to develop Byetta LAR. At 0802 GMT, shares in Novo Nordisk traded up 4.8% at DKK364, outperforming a 1% rise in the wider market in Copenhagen.

Novartis CEO Vasella To Be Replaced By Jimenez
Last update: 1/26/2010 2:15:42 AM(Adds detail.)

By Anita Greil
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
ZURICH (Dow Jones)--Novartis AG (NVS) Tuesday said long-standing chief executive officer Daniel Vasella will step down from this job and focus on his role as chairman, with pharma head Joe Jimenez taking over the CEO job from Feb. 1.

The move led to a wider management shuffle, which includes the departure of chief operating officer Joerg Reinhardt, who had long been viewed as the most likely candidate to take over as CEO.

Vasella told reporters that he first started thinking about stepping down as CEO about a year ago.

Novartis also reported a 50% jump in fourth-quarter net profit, driven by a solid increase in the sale of heart drugs and pandemic flu vaccine, leading the Swiss drug maker to predict that it expects pharmaceutical sales to rise again at a mid-to-high single digit pace in 2010.

Novartis, based in Basel, said net profit rose to $2.31 billion in the quarter ended Dec. 31 from $1.54 billion, above the average forecast of 11 analysts polled by Dow Jones Newswires, which had called for $2.21 billion.

Sales increased 28% to $12.93 billion, driven by a 21% increase in sales at the flagship prescription drugs unit to $7.77 billion.

Drug sales were higher than forecast by analysts, and got a significant boost from the weak dollar. Expressed in the currencies where the goods were sold, sales were up 13%.

Novartis increased its dividend slightly to CHF2.10 from CHF2. Outgoing CEO Vasella said he still considers the offer made to minority shareholders of eyecare company Alcon Inc. (ACL) as fair.

Novartis is in the process of acquiring a majority in the U.S. eyecare company in a deal with Swiss food group Nestle SA (NESN.VX).

It has offered to buy out the 23% of shares held by the public, but this offer has been rejected as too low by Alcon's board of independent directors.

Is dit de nieuwe Veebakker van Novartis?
By Jacob Goldstein

JimenezJoe Jimenez will be the new CEO of Novartis, the big Swiss drug company said. Dan Vasella, who has been CEO for 14 years and chairman for 11 years, will stay on as chairman.

Some other Swiss firms — including Nestle and Roche — have also recently split the chairman and CEO positions, partly in response to a push from corporate-governance activists who favor the split. It’s worth noting, though, that Novartis’s board recommends against a shareholder proposal to make the chairman-CEO split mandatory (see p. 6 of this PDF).

Jimenez has been running Novartis’s prescription drug business since 2007. He spent most of his career in the packaged goods industry, with stints at H.J. Heinz, Clorox and ConAgra. As we noted in 2008, Jimenez brought the “key account management” strategy to the business. In packaged goods, key accounts are big retailers; in the drugs business, key accounts are insurers and other big payers.

Another detail about Jimenez that may interest some drug-industry insiders: He reads Cafepharma, the home of online message boards full of posts from sales reps and others in the industry. “I read it because I like to get information from a lot of different places,” Jimenez told the Health Blog a while back.

For more on Jimenez, Vasella, and the rest of Novartis’s executive shake-up, see this story from the WSJ.

Icahn Said to Seek More Control Over Biogen
January 28, 2010, 1:42 am

Proxy materials have been delivered to Biogen Idec by Carl C. Icahn, as the billionaire investor seeks greater control of the biotechnology company’s board, a source familiar with the situation told Reuters.

Last June, Mr. Icahn succeeded in placing two representatives on Biogen’s board following a bitter and colorful proxy battle. A new proxy fight would represent Mr. Icahn’s third assault on Biogen in as many years.

The proxy material delivered to Biogen on Wednesday contain a call for three new Icahn representatives to be nominated to the 12-member board, according to the source, who is not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.

Mr. Icahn could not immediately be reached for comment. A spokeswoman for Biogen Idec was also not immediately available.

In the seven months since Mr. Icahn’s representatives took their seats at Biogen, the company’s chairman has been replaced, and its chief executive, James Mullen, has announced he will retire.

But Mr. Icahn needs more influence over the board to effect the sweeping corporate changes he is known for. Biogen, which makes the multiple sclerosis drugs Avonex and Tysabri, has failed to excite investors with its performance or its pipeline of experimental new drugs.

The Cambridge, Mass.-based company continues to wrestle with safety concerns over Tysabri, which has been associated with a potentially deadly brain infection known as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, or PML.

And there is concern increasing competition may hurt sales of its flagship multiple sclerosis drug Avonex.

Its shares, which closed up 1 percent at $53.58 on Wednesday, are trading in roughly the same range that they were in early 2004.

Four Biogen board seats are up for election this year — those being vacated by James Mullen and the former chairman, Bruce Ross; as well as Brian Posner, previously chief executive officer of ClearBridge Advisors, and Nancy Leaming, the retired chief executive officer of Tufts Health Plan.

The three seats aimed at by Mr. Icahn are held by Messrs. Ross, Mullen and Posner, according to the source.

Bristol-Myers CEO: 'We're Not For Sale' >BMY
Last update: 1/28/2010 12:44:47 PM

By Peter Loftus
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.'s (BMY) chief executive Thursday threw cold water on persistent speculation that the drug maker is a takeover candidate. "We've said over and over again, 'We're not for sale,'" James Cornelius said on a conference call with reporters after Bristol reported improved fourth-quarter financial results.

Bristol has been the subject of periodic takeover speculation for several years. It flared up again late last year when the company unveiled plans to split off its Mead Johnson Nutrition Co. (MJN) baby-formula business, a move that made Bristol a pure-play pharmaceutical company.

Although Sanofi-Aventis SA (SNY) has been mentioned in the past as a potential buyer, one analyst recently suggested AstraZeneca PLC (AZN) might be interested in combining with Bristol.

But Cornelius said the New York company is content with its current plan to make small- to medium-sized acquisitions to beef up its portfolio of products and experimental drugs. Bristol has nearly $10 billion in cash to go after such deals.

"There is ten billion of real cash in the bank and so we've got the flexibility and the speed to get these deals done," he said. "We're out hunting and we'll see what we come up with."

As for Cornelius's own future, he said "it's hard to predict" how long he will stay on the job as chief executive. He initially took the helm of Bristol on an interim basis in 2006, then became permanent chief executive.

But he is 65 years old and some industry insiders think he is getting ready to depart. Asked about succession planning, Cornelius said Bristol has a talented management team but he wasn't more specific about who might replace him. Last year, Bristol named Chief Operating Officer Lamberto Andreotti to its board, which signaled that he was a prime replacement candidate.

Bill Gates geeft gul voor vaccinaties

AMSTERDAM/DAVOS - 29-01-2010 - De charitatieve stichting van de puissant rijke softwaremagnaat Bill Gates geeft over een periode van tien jaar 10 miljard dollar (momenteel circa 7,1 miljard euro) voor het onderzoek naar en de verspreiding van vaccinaties. 'Dit moet het decennium van de inentingen worden', zei Gates in zijn aankondiging vrijdag in het Zwitserse Davos. Hij sprak op het World Economic Forum in Davos samen met zijn vrouw Melinda met wie hij de stichting, de Gates Foundation, beheert. Vaccinaties kunnen de kindersterfte drastisch terugdringen, beklemtoonden ze. 'Ze zijn een wonder; met een paar doses kan je een ziekte een leven lang voorkomen', aldus Melinda Gates. Beiden riepen zowel overheden als particuliere ondernemingen op meer geld in vaccinaties te steken.
