Starpharma launched a fully underwritten renounceable entitlement offer to raise approximately AU$32 million, materially strengthening its balance sheet and extending its expected cash runway into FY28.
The proceeds will primarily support the DEP® HER2-Lu Phase 1 clinical study while accelerating the development of additional dendrimer-based targeted oncology assets, reinforcing the company's strategic focus on expanding its proprietary oncology pipeline.
Management believes recent preclinical data has further validated the potential of its dendrimer platform in radioligand therapy, supporting continued investment in differentiated targeted drug delivery technologies with long-term commercial potential.

The offer comprises approximately 56 million new shares priced at AU$0.57 each and is fully underwritten by Canaccord Genuity (Australia), providing the company with additional funding to accelerate its oncology development strategy. Capital to Advance Clinical DevelopmentThe capital raising is expected to significantly strengthen Starpharma's financial position, with a pro forma cash balance of approximately AU$44.5 million, including the anticipated R&D tax incentive. According to the company, the funding is expected to extend its cash runway into FY28, allowing continued progression of the DEP® HER2-Lu Phase 1 clinical study while supporting the advancement of additional targeted dendrimer-based oncology programs. Expanding the Dendrimer Oncology PlatformManagement stated that recent preclinical results from the DEP® HER2-Lu program reinforce the potential of its proprietary dendrimer technology in radioligand therapy and support its broader strategy of building a diversified portfolio of targeted oncology assets.
