FAP isn't just upregulated in tumours, it is also present in high numbers in other conditions. The AVA6000 actually lists the conditions:
"Disclosed are prodrugs of cytotoxic anthracyclines (such as doxorubicin) and other therapeutic agents that are selectively cleaved and activated by fibroblast activating protein (FAP). The prodrugs are useful for targeted delivery of cytotoxic and other agents to FAP- expressing tissues, including cancer (e.g., solid tumors). Also provided are pharmaceutical compounds comprising the prodrugs, as well as methods of using the prodrugs to treat a disorder characterized by FAP upregulation, e.g., cancer, fibrosis, and inflammation."

I'm not familiar with modes of action but if, say, you have a powerful rheumatoid arthritis drug that acts at the site of arthritic inflammation but has unacceptable side-effects elsewhere in the body, then that might be a suitable candidate to present as a prodrug using the pre|CISION platform.
