The French drug giant Sanofi-Aventis will carry out contract manufacturing for two biotech firms. Its Sanofi Chimie arm has signed a toll manufacturing agreement under which it will supply the Dutch company Pharming with the active ingredient in Ruconest, a protein treatment for angio­edema that is soon to be launched in several European markets. Pharming says Sanofi will eventually replace Merck & Co., which now supplies Pharming with the bulk drug on a smaller scale. Separately, Sanofi will supply bulk human insulin for an oral form of insulin being developed by Israel’s Oramed Pharmaceuticals.
