NicVax on Fast Track Status
Filed in archive Drugs, Vaccines and Therapeutics by ruth on March 13, 2006

. In November 2005, the smoking vaccine showed favorable clinical trial results. This week, manufacturer Nabi Biopharmaceuticals said that it has received fast-track status for NicVAX for nicotine addiction and smoking relapse. "Smoking is the number one preventable cause of death in the western world, yet current smoking cessation therapies do not effectively treat the root cause of the addiction. We believe the vaccine approach inherent to NicVAX will provide clear patient advantages and a strong differentiation from currently marketed and development-stage products."
