Sanofi Pasteur is the vaccines division of the sanofi-aventis Group. As the vaccines division of the sanofi-aventis Group, sanofi pasteur is devoted exclusively to the research, production, and worldwide distribution of human vaccines.

Acambis Campus, part of the sanofi pasteur company, is a leading vaccine company developing novel vaccines that address significant unmet medical needs or substantially improve standards of care. ChimeriVax™-JE, our most advanced product in its development-stage pipeline, has to date shown an excellent safety and efficacy profile following pivotal Phase 3 trials. It is currently undergoing paediatric trials in the endemic region. Our proprietary ChimeriVax™ technology, developed in association with St Louis University, has also been used to develop ChimeriVax™-West Nile, which is undergoing Phase 2 clinical testing, making it the most advanced investigational vaccine against the West Nile virus. As a part of sanofi pasteur company, global collaboration, development and commercialisation of the vaccine is in the works. ChimeriVax™ has also been applied to development of sanofi pasteur’s tetravalent dengue vaccine, which has successfully demonstrated proof-of-concept in a Phase 2 trial by generating 100% seroconversion to all four dengue virus serotypes.

ACAM-CDIFF™ is the only vaccine in development against Clostridium difficile bacteria, a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections. C. difficile is estimated to cause at least 360,000 cases of C. difficile-associated disease in the US alone, and annual costs to US and European healthcare systems are estimated to be in excess of $7bn a year. Our influenza programme aims to develop a universal vaccine against influenza, for which a universal ‘A’ strain vaccine, ACAM-FLU-A™, was recently tested in a Phase 1 trial and pre-clinical challenge study. We are currently undertaking pre-clinical testing of a vaccine candidate, dl5-29, against genital herpes.

Sanofi Pasteur, Acambis Campus, is recognised internationally as the leading producer of smallpox vaccines for emergency-use stockpiles held by the US Government and several other governments around the world. Acambis developed its ACAM2000™ smallpox vaccine under contracts with the US Government.
