Uppsala, Sweden – Strike Pharma, the company using its proprietary Adaptable Drug Affinity Conjugate (ADAC) technology platform to develop individualized immunotherapeutic treatments, today announced the successful completion of a 45 MSEK financing round. Eir Ventures (www.eirventures.eu), acting as lead investor, and Flerie Invest (www.flerie.com) join current shareholders in this second round. Founded in 2020, Strike Pharma raised 10 MSEK in its first financing round less than one year ago.

Mårten Winge, CEO of Strike Pharma commented, “Both new investors are strongly focused on supporting the development of innovative solutions to address major medical challenges and will bring a high level of industry and investor expertise to the company. Proceeds from the financing will be used to accelerate our efforts in bringing our first candidate to clinical trials and to further develop the ADAC technology platform.”

Today, Strike Pharma is focused on the development of novel, clinically-relevant candidates for use as immunotherapeutic vaccines in the treatment of solid tumors. By using ADAC technology, truly individualized treatments can be generated based on the genetic profile of each patient’s tumor. Such highly targeted treatment offers the potential to increase therapeutic efficacy and reduce dosage levels, thereby minimizing the risk of side effects.

Magnus Persson, chairman and co-founder of Eir Ventures stated, “We are impressed by the ADAC technology and the level of expertise amongst the Strike team. It is our firm belief that, in the future, the ADAC technology platform can take precision medicine to a new level, facilitating development of other patient-specific, antibody-based therapeutics across a wide variety of disease indications.”
