GenVec, Inc.
GNVC today announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has issued a conditional license for GenVec's foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccine for use in cattle. APHIS issued the conditional license to Antelope Valley Bios, Inc., who manufactured the vaccine under a contract from GenVec. The vaccine was developed and tested under a contract with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate. This is the first FMD vaccine licensed by the USDA Center for Veterinary Biologics.
"This conditional approval is a significant event as it represents GenVec's first approved product," noted Bryan T. Butman, Ph.D., GenVec's Senior Vice President of Vector Operations and the Head of GenVec's FMD program. "This achievement demonstrates GenVec's ability to bring its technology through the regulatory review process and validates the utility of our core technology to make effective genetic vaccines."
