When you type in "West Pharmaceuticals"+ "Vaccines" on Google you get over 30 hits.

West is a global company in over 50 countries.

It is doing cutting edge research and clinical trials .

One of its areas is in "nasal vaccines delivery".

How soon can I find a DOD contract with West before it is pulled from the net?

If my theory about Binny and his boys and the Bin Laden Medical Matrix is correct,West would be on the list of targets to slow down Americas progress.

Note to admin,please dont pull this till you have read all the google hits!

Solvay announced today that it has signed a licensing agreement with West Pharmaceuticals (Lionville, Pennsylvania, US) for an intranasal influenza vaccine. Under the agreement Solvay obtains worldwide rights to develop, manufacture, and sell nasal formulations of influenza vaccines using the ChiSys® technology. Market introduction of the vaccine is aimed for in 2005. The intranasal vaccine developed by West Pharmaceuticals combines Solvay's sub-unit vaccine Influvac® with the penetration enhancer chitosan. This chitosan-based technology is also used in other products and has a favorable safety profile, which is well-documented. The aim is to develop a one-dose vaccine to be applied in the nose by a special spraying device. The clinical development program includes extensive studies. The intranasal vaccine will be registered and marketed globally.

already marketed for some drugs for migraine and bone disease - uses nasal delivery. Currently, there are two leading niche companies developing novel nasal delivery systems. Firstly, West Pharmaceuticals have several strings to their development bow. For example, they recently started US clinical studies evaluating leuprolide in endometriosis and are preparing European registration documents before entering co-development deals. They are also developing nasal morphine that rapidly relieves pain and shows a profile similar to intravenous formulations. Clinical testing is underway.
