Overview

Precirix develops precision radiopharmaceuticals built on camelid single-domain antibodies and pursues a theragnostic approach combining imaging and therapeutic radioisotopes. The company has a broad pipeline with one product candidate in a Phase I/II clinical trial and two candidates in advanced preclinical development. Its lead candidate, CAM-H2, is being evaluated in a Phase I/II study for HER2-positive metastatic breast and gastric cancer. Precirix plans to use new funding to advance CAM-H2, bring additional radiopharmaceuticals into the clinic, and expand operations. The company also intends to further strengthen its platform to generate new product candidates, linkers and CMC processes. Precirix was founded in 2014 as a spin-off from the VUB and is led by CEO Ruth Devenyns. Camel-IDS develops novel radiopharmaceuticals that use camelid single-domain antibody fragments (sdAb) labeled with radioisotopes to target cancer. Its lead product, CAM-H2, is an early clinical-stage treatment candidate for HER2-positive cancers. The company intends to use the new financing to fund a phase Ib/II trial of CAM-H2 while further developing two preclinical programs and broadening the pipeline. Camel-IDS was incorporated in 2014 as a spin-off of Vrije Universiteit Brussel and is led by CEO Ruth Devenyns and CSO Tony Lahoutte. Prior funding includes seed support from the Foundation Fournier-Majoie and three seed investors, complemented by non-dilutive funding from Innoviris. The company secured €37m in Series A financing in November 2018.
