Catalent Agrees to Manufacture AstraZeneca Covid-19 Vaccine Candidate

Catalent Inc. said it will provide vial filling and packaging capacity to AstraZeneca PLC at Catalent’s manufacturing facility in Anagni, Italy, and prepare for large-scale commercial supply of the University of Oxford’s Covid-19 vaccine candidate, AZD1222.
Catalent shares were up 11% to $77 premarket.
The agreement accelerates the rapid scale-up of capacity over the coming months to support the dedicated production of AZD1222, the provider of advanced delivery technologies, development, and manufacturing solutions for drugs.
Catalent said it will prepare the facility to enable manufacturing schedules and supply hundreds of millions of doses of the vaccine candidate from August 2020, and potentially through to March 2022 if the product is approved by regulatory agencies.
