Under the terms of the agreement, specialty vaccine company
Valneva will promote and distribute PreHevbri throughout select
European countries, which initially include the United Kingdom,
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Valneva and VBI expect PreHevbri to be available in these countries
in early 2023.
Thomas Lingelbach, President and CEO of Valneva, commented: “We
welcome this partnership with VBI which underlines Valneva’s
expertise in vaccine commercialization. Among the past years, we
have continued to develop our third-party vaccine marketing and
distribution activities further, notably with the signing of a
distribution agreement with Bavarian Nordic in 2020, and we are
extremely pleased to add VBI’s Hepatitis B vaccine to this
portfolio today. Our objective is to continue leveraging our
commercial infrastructure to combat as many infectious diseases as
we can.”
Jeff Baxter, President and CEO of VBI, commented: “This
partnership is a significant milestone for PreHevbri, enabling us
to hit the ground running in Europe. Valneva has substantial local
knowledge, experience, and relationships in each of these European
countries where we expect to launch, which will be of critical
value as we work, collectively, to provide broad access to this
differentiated 3-antigen HBV vaccine in Europe. Strategically, VBI
and Valneva are two companies aligned by a shared mission to reduce
the burden of infectious disease, and this new collaboration will
build upon that meaningful synergy.”
PreHevbri was approved by the European Commission (EC) and the
United Kingdom Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency
(MHRA) in the second quarter of 2022 for active immunization
against infection caused by all known subtypes of the hepatitis B
virus (HBV) in adults.
About Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is one of the world’s most significant infectious
disease threats with more than 290 million people infected
globally. HBV infection is the leading cause of liver disease and,
with current treatments, it is very difficult to cure, with many
patients going on to develop liver cancers. An estimated 900,000
people die each year from complications of chronic HBV such as
liver decompensation, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
About PreHevbri® [Hepatitis B vaccine (recombinant,
adsorbed)]
PreHevbri is the only 3-antigen hepatitis B vaccine, comprised
of the three hepatitis B surface antigens of the hepatitis B virus
– S, pre-S1, and pre-S2. It is approved for use in the European
Union/European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, the United
States, and Israel. The brand names for this vaccine are:
PreHevbri™ (EU/EEA/UK), PreHevbrio™ (US), and Sci-B-Vac®
(Israel).
