Precirix is a private biopharmaceutical company dedicated to extending and improving the lives of cancer patients through developing precision radiopharmaceuticals using camelid single domain antibodies (sdAb) labelled with radioisotopes. The company’s Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP)-targeting program is advancing Precirix’ unique radiometal platform into the clinic. Precirix’ HER2-targeting CAM-H2-I-131 asset is Phase 2 ready.
