Last year, TLX completed two acquisition to expand the global footprint and support the increments in the value of the company. Atlab Pharma SAS, a French company with extensive clinical data, was acquired to underpin the development of TLXâs prostate cancer therapy program and an intellectual property portfolio. It helps TLX in defending certain clinical applications around combination therapies with anti-androgen drugs. TLX believes that these anti-androgen drugs would be commercially important in the near future.
Advanced Nuclear Medicine Ingredients (ANMI) SA, was the second acquisition of TLX. Since, acquisition, ANMI has built a strong reputation in radiochemistry excellence and has developed extremely innovative products, which are to be added to Telix Portfolio. The acquisition has placed both companies as a leading urologic oncology imaging firm.
illumetTM has been one of success story for TLX in the past twelve months. Itâs a prostate imaging product, branded in the US. illumetTM has demonstrated considerable impact on patient care and demand for better imaging technology to manage metastatic prostate cancer, resulting in the rapid commercialisation of the product. European Urology Association (EAU) formally adopted PSMA imaging with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) as standard care, paving the way for the Telix/ANMI prostate cancer imaging product in Europe.
The announcement read that in the next half of year, TLX shall have a lot to hear from the FDA with respect to a new drug application (NDA) submission for the prostate cancer program, ZIRCON trial and a prospective Phase III trial for prostate cancer therapy program.
