US approval for Nabi's HBV immune globulin

30 March 1999

Nabi has been granted approval in the USA for Nabi-HB (human hepatitis Bimmune globulin), and says it will launch the product immediately. Nabi-HB is indicated for treatment following sexual exposure to hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg)-positive persons, household exposure to persons with acute hepatitis B virus infection, acute exposure to blood containing HbsAg, and perinatal exposure of infants born to HBsAg-positive mothers.

The product is the first of its type to include a nanofiltration step in its manufacturing process, which helps to reduce the risk of viral transmission.
