Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX; Nasdaq: TLX, Telix, the
Company) today announces that it has completed the installation of
two new cyclotrons at Telix Manufacturing Solutions (TMS) in
Brussels South, Belgium, facilitating the production of
radioisotopes and patient doses on-site from 20251.
The installation of cyclotrons from GE
HealthCare and IBA (Ion Beam Applications S.A.), along with
proprietary solid targets, establishes TMS Brussels South as a
major nuclear medicine production facility, which will serve as the
Company’s primary manufacturing site for the Europe Middle East and
Africa (EMEA) region and beyond. One cyclotron will be dedicated to
clinical and commercial supply, and the other to research and
development (R&D), meaning TMS Brussels South will serve as a
vital hub for manufacturing scale-up and production of next
generation radiopharmaceuticals, including diagnostics and both
alpha- and beta therapeutics2.
Telix was granted an updated radiation licence
in 2022 by the Belgian Federal Agency for Nuclear Control (FANC)
for a broad range of commercially important medical isotopes3. Both
cyclotrons have multi-isotope capacity and will have ARTMS’ QUANTM
Irradiation System™ (QIS™) installed to support high efficiency,
large-scale and cost-effective production. This includes clinical
and commercial supply in Europe of gallium-68 (68Ga), zirconium-89
(89Zr), fluorine-18 (18F) and copper-64 (64Cu), along with the
capacity to produce R&D quantities of actinium-225 (225Ac) for
targeted alpha therapy.
Darren Patti, Group Chief Operating Officer,
Telix said, “This year, more than 10 million radiopharmaceutical
procedures will be performed in the EU. These new cyclotrons,
manufactured by the world leaders in particle accelerator
technology, will deliver significant flexibility and reliable
supply from Telix’s first bench-to-bedside manufacturing facility,
to help meet this growing demand. Since acquiring the site in
Brussels South in April 2020, the speed at which the team and our
partners have decommissioned and built out this facility has been
nothing short of extraordinary. We would like to thank the Wallonia
regional government for grant funding, and the Wallonia Export
& Investment Agency (AWEX) for access to financing solutions,
in support of these buildout works.”
Commissioning of the cyclotrons is scheduled to
begin in early Q1 2025, with first commercial good manufacturing
practice (GMP) production anticipated in H2 2025, subject to
requisite audits and accreditation.
About Telix
Manufacturing Solutions, Brussels South
Located in the heart of Belgium’s ‘Radiopharma
Valley’, the 2,800 square metre facility is one of Europe’s largest
radiopharmaceutical production facilities, with nine GMP lines,
clean rooms, a radiopharmacy, and two cyclotrons. The site will
enable improved access to radiopharmaceuticals for patients across
the EMEA region and worldwide as a primary GMP capable
manufacturing site for Telix’s clinical and commercial
products.
TMS Brussels South also has extensive R&D
capabilities, with a focus on alpha-emitting isotopes. The
proximity of an alpha radiopharmaceutical laboratory (the
'AlphaLab') to a production GMP environment is a differentiated
capability to our competition. We expect the site to evolve and
develop as a hub for strategic collaborations via R&D
facilities and a manufacturing line designated for university and
small and medium-sized enterprise partners.
