NicVAX is an experimental conjugate vaccine intended to reduce or eliminate physical dependence to nicotine. According to the U.S. National Institute of Drug Abuse, NicVAX can potentially be used to inoculate against nicotine addiction.[1] This proprietary vaccine is being developed by Nabi Biopharmaceuticals[2] of Rockville, MD. with the support from the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse. NicVAX consists of the hapten 3'-aminomethylnicotine which has been conjugated (attached) to Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A.[3]
Early trials of NicVax were promising; two successive phase III trials showed results no better than placebo,[4][5] and a more recent study showed that the drug decreased subjects' cravings for cigarettes.[6]
