HAYWARD, Calif., Nov. 15, 2023 – RefleXion Medical, a therapeutic oncology company, today announced the initial closing of a $105M equity raise, led by The Rise Fund, TPG’s multi-sector global impact investing strategy.

“RefleXion is singularly focused on expanding the world of radiotherapy to include patients with all stages of disease, not just early-stage patients,” said Matthew Hobart, co-managing partner of TPG Growth who leads the investment in RefleXion on behalf of TPG’s Rise Fund. “We are delighted to see RefleXion reach a stage where they can accelerate their impact and deliver treatment and outcomes at scale. We look forward to continuing to work with Todd and the team to support RefleXion’s growth.”
SCINTIX is the first and only technology designed to transform an injected radiotracer into real-time signals that drive autonomous radiotherapy. In doing so, SCINTIX therapy becomes the first unified solution that overcomes targeting and motion management, two of the longest standing barriers to using radiotherapy for definitive treatment of metastatic disease. SCINTIX therapy is delivered via the RefleXion® X1 platform, the world’s only dual-treatment modality platform that also offers image-guided radiotherapy for treating early-stage disease.
