GSK has entered into an agreement to form a 50:50 joint venture (JV) with a leading Indian vaccines company, Biological E, for the early stage research and development of a six-in-one combination paediatric vaccine. This vaccine will help to protect children in India and other developing countries from polio and other infectious diseases.
The JV will bear the development costs for the candidate vaccine, which is expected to enter phase 1 development in the next two years. A small initial cash investment will be made by both companies to cover start-up costs for the JV and subsequent development costs will be split equally.
Besides, if approved, the vaccine, which would combine GSK’s injectable polio vaccine (IPV) and Biological E’s pentavalent vaccine for diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough (whole cell pertussis), hepatitis B, and Haemophilus influenzae type b, could be the first of its kind. The vaccine would enable fewer injections for children thereby improving compliance in immunization schedules.
Further, this partnership also reinforces the commitment of both companies to support the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global polio eradication programme.
