2004 FEB 4 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Aventis (AVE) and Crucell N.V. (CRXL) announced that they have entered into a strategic agreement to further develop and commercialize novel influenza vaccine products based on Crucell's proprietary PER.C6 cell line technology.

The agreement covers both pandemic and epidemic influenza vaccines, which up to now have been part of Crucell's in-house product development program.

Under the terms of the agreement, Aventis Pasteur, the vaccines business of Aventis, receives an exclusive license to research, develop, manufacture, and market cell-based influenza vaccines using Crucell's unique PER.C6 cell line technology. Crucell will receive milestone payments, annual payments, and research and development funding totaling EUR 30 million, and high single- up to double-digit royalties on future PER.C6-based influenza vaccine sales.

Crucell retains the commercialization rights for Japan, which accounts for 15% of the global influenza vaccine market that, in 2002 totaled EUR 1.2 billion. For Japan, Aventis Pasteur will supply finished vaccine products to Crucell, and Crucell will pay a royalty on sales to Aventis Pasteur.

In 2002, Aventis Pasteur's consolidated influenza vaccine product sales totaled EUR 460 million; representing a 38% global market share.
