PCI Biotech Holding ASA Share Price

PCI Biotech Holding ASA is a cancer focused biopharmaceutical company based in Norway. The Company is developing therapeutic products based on its photochemical internalisation (PCI) technology. PCI Biotech’s product is the photosensitiser fimaporfin (Amphinex). The PCI technology can enhance the effect of anticancer drugs by targeted, light-directed drug delivery into cancer cells, and can also be used as a platform that may both potentiate the effect of vaccines and enable macromolecules to reach intracellular targets. The PCI technology platform consists of two elements: a small molecule photosensitiser (named fimaporfin) and a light source. The primary aim of PCI is to introduce drug molecules or macromolecules into the cytosol of the target cells. It is this drug or macromolecule that gives the biological effect in a PCI treatment, and the intended biological effect may range from cell killing, through modification of gene expression to enhanced antigen presentation.
