About Redx Pharma Plc
Redx Pharma (AIM: REDX) is a clinical-stage biotechnology
company focused on the discovery and development of novel, small
molecule, targeted therapeutics for the treatment of fibrotic
disease, cancer and the emerging area of cancer-associated
fibrosis, aiming initially to progress them to clinical proof of
concept before evaluating options for further development and
potential value creation. The Company's lead fibrosis product
candidate, the selective ROCK2 inhibitor, zelasudil (RXC007), is in
development for interstitial lung disease and commenced a Phase 2a
trial for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in October 2022, with
topline data expected in Q1 2024. Redx's lead oncology product
candidate, the Porcupine inhibitor RXC004, being developed as a
targeted treatment for Wnt-ligand dependent cancers, is expected to
report combination with anti-PD-1 Phase 2 data during 2023. Redx's
third drug candidate, RXC008, a GI-targeted ROCK inhibitor for the
treatment of fibrostenotic Crohn's disease, is progressing towards
a CTA application at the end of 2023.
The Company has a strong track record of discovering new drug
candidates through its core strengths in medicinal chemistry and
translational science, enabling the Company to discover and develop
differentiated therapeutics against biologically or clinically
validated targets. The Company's accomplishments are evidenced not
only by its two wholly-owned clinical-stage product candidates and
rapidly expanding pipeline, but also by its strategic transactions,
including the sale of pirtobrutinib (RXC005, LOXO-305), a
non-covalent (reversible) BTK inhibitor now approved by the US FDA
for adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma previously treated
with a covalent BTK inhibitor, and AZD5055/RXC006, a Porcupine
inhibitor targeting fibrotic diseases including IPF, which
AstraZeneca is progressing in a Phase 1 clinical study. In
addition, Redx has forged collaborations with Jazz Pharmaceuticals,
which includes JZP815, a pan-RAF inhibitor developed by Redx which
Jazz is now progressing through Phase 1 clinical studies, and an
early stage oncology research collaboration.
