Telix is buiding a state-of-the-art radiopharmaceutical production facility in Brussels South (Seneffe) in the Wallonia region of Belgium.
This
facility will serve as the primary European manufacturing site for Telix’s
products, aligning with the Group’s strategic objective of maintaining control
and reliability of its supply chain, as well as controlling costs. It will also
be an integral hub for Telix’s R&D activities, specifically in relation to
the scale-up of radioisotope production.
Following
the decommissioning and removal of two pre-existing cyclotrons on the site in
late 2021, Telix has secured a €12.1 million ($A18.2 million) debt financing
package to help fund first-stage building works, which will include the
construction of a radio-pharmacy, as well as the installation of its first
cyclotron, clean rooms and purification suites (Stage 1). Stage 1 works are
already underway at the site.
Upon
completion of Stage 1, Telix aims to have the ability to produce a wide range
of medical isotopes, for use in its own commercial and clinical programs, as
well as for other organizations. This will include its prostate and kidney
cancer imaging agents (TLX591-CDx and TLX250-CDx) and its therapeutic
candidates TLX591 and TLX250. The company has a vision and plan for the site to
become a future hub for radiopharmaceutical R&D in Europe, not only for its
own programs, but through collaborations with partners, including pharmaceutical
and biotech companies, hospitals and universities.
