Eckert & Ziegler SE (ISIN DE0005659700, TecDAX) today signed a licence agreement with Qi Kang Medical, Ltd (QKM), a joint venture between Eckert & Ziegler and the Chinese company DC Pharma, for the cyclotron technology used by Eckert & Ziegler to manufacture Ac-225. The contract guarantees Eckert & Ziegler a one-time payment of EUR 10 million and additional royalties on Ac-225 sales. For Eckert & Ziegler the licence and collaboration agreement is an important step towards establishing the company as a major supplier of Ac-225 for the radiopharmaceutical industry. Eckert & Ziegler is already supplying Ac-225 and will be able to provide the market with significantly increased quantities of Ac-225 in GMP quality from 2025. Currently, Ac-225-based radiopharmaceuticals are under clinical investigation for various cancers, including prostate tumors, colorectal cancer, and leukemia. A substantial increase in the demand for Ac-225 is projected over the next decade, driven by its expanding clinical applications and the promising results seen in ongoing trials. Despite its therapeutic promise, sufficient quantities of Ac-225 remain scarce.
