Lucrative Biota deal 16dec05
SHARES in Biota Holdings rose more that 4 per cent yesterday on news of a deal with U.S. firm MedImmune Inc to develop a compound to prevent and treat respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection.

The agreement with the U.S. company will give Biota $6.63 million immediately and reimburse future research and development expenses on the collaborative RSV program.

Biota says it could receive up to $US107.5 million based on certain clinical and regulatory milestones and a royalty on sales of a future licensed product brought to market by MedImmune.

Biota will have exclusive marketing rights in Australia, New Zealand, China, South-East Asia, India and Pakistan for potential products developed as a result of the agreement.
