Munich, Germany — Ariceum Thera­peu­tics (Ariceum) successfully closes a Series A expan­sion finan­cing, raising an addi­tio­nal EUR 22.75 million for Ariceum on top of the EUR 25 million Series A finan­cing announ­ced in June 2022.

With this, Ariceum, a priva­tely held biotech­no­logy company based in Berlin, Germany, aims to advance its clini­cal pipe­line of next-gene­ra­­tion radio­phar­maceu­ti­cals and further expand the company, with a focus on its proprie­tary peptide deri­va­tive sato­reo­tide, as well as a pipe­line of other projects. New inves­tors Andera Part­ners and Early­bird Venture Capi­tal join exis­ting inves­tor Pureos Bioven­tures in expan­sion financing.

Olivier Litzka from Andera Part­ners and Chris­toph Mass­ner from Early­bird Venture Capi­tal become addi­tio­nal members of Ariceum’s advi­sory board.
