Telix Pharmaceuticals (ASX:TLX) a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of diagnostic and therapeutic products based on targeted radiopharmaceuticals or “molecularly-targeted radiation” (MTR) has today announced the acquisition of Belgium-based Advanced Nuclear Medicine Ingredients (ANMI) SA for €5.15m in cash and shares.
As quoted in the press release:
The acquisition of ANMI significantly expands the market opportunity for Telix’s investment in prostate cancer imaging and builds on the existing commercialization collaboration for the illumetTMprostate imaging (68Ga-PSMA) kit for the US market. Combining the resources, clinical data and human capital of both companies is expected to accelerate the process of preparing a new drug application (NDA) in the United States and Europe for prostate imaging.
Telix CEO Christian Behrenbruch stated, “The acquisition of ANMI creates a significantly more capable company with the ability to deliver prostate cancer imaging on a global basis, rather than in a territorially-segmented manner. The clinical availability of prostate cancer imaging will have a major impact on the adoption rate of PSMA radiotherapeutics and therefore this acquisition reinforces our competitive differentiation of offering both imaging and therapy as an integrated solution. We’re very pleased to welcome the talented ANMI team to Telix.”
