Vienna (Austria), January 9, 2006 - Intercell AG (VSE, "ICLL")
announced today that the next milestone within the collaboration with
sanofi pasteur for the development of a bacterial vaccine has
successfully been achieved. This significant progress within the
preclinical development of a bacterial vaccine candidate resulted in
another milestone payment of EUR 1 million for Intercell.
In July 2005, sanofi pasteur exercised its option on exclusive
worldwide commercial rights on certain bacterial vaccine antigens,
which have been identified by Intercell’s Antigen Identification
Program. Over the entire term of the agreement, Intercell will be
entitled to further milestone based license payments totaling to
about EUR 20 million, as well as royalties on future net sales. The
EUR 1 million milestone payment received now will be accounted for as
revenue of the financial year 2005.
The vaccine candidate, which has the potential to address an
important unmet medical need in the field of infectious diseases, was
licensed from Intercell under a collaboration and license option
agreement signed in December 2003. The parties have agreed
confidentiality on the indication.
"We’re pleased about this significant progress in the development of
a bacterial vaccine candidate fully derived from our proprietary
Antigen Identification Program within our collaboration with sanofi
pasteur," commented Gerd Zettlmeissl, CEO of Intercell AG. "This
emphasizes once again the value and potential of our technologies for
the development of novel vaccines."
