About Redx Pharma Plc

Redx Pharma (AIM: REDX) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on
the discovery and development of novel, small molecule, highly targeted
therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and fibrotic diseases, aiming
initially to progress them to clinical proof of concept before evaluating
options for further development and potential value creation. Redx's lead
oncology product candidate, the Porcupine inhibitor RXC004, commenced a Phase
2 programme in November 2021. The Company's selective ROCK2 inhibitor product
candidate, RXC007, is in development for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and
commenced a Phase 1 clinical trial in June 2021. Encouraging safety and
pharmacokinetic data has been reported, and a Phase 2 clinical program is
confirmed to start in 2022. Redx's third drug candidate, RXC008, a GI-targeted
ROCK inhibitor for the treatment of fibrostenotic Crohn's disease, is
currently in pre-IND stage, with Phase 1 clinical studies expected to commence
in 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 BTK
inhibitor now in Phase 3 clinical development by Eli Lilly following its
acquisition of Loxo Oncology and RXC006, a Porcupine inhibitor targeting
fibrotic diseases including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which
AstraZeneca is progressing in a Phase 1 clinical study. In addition, Redx has
forged collaborations with Jazz Pharmaceuticals, which includes JZP815, a
preclinical pan-RAF inhibitor, which has received IND clearance from the US
FDA and an early stage oncology research collaboration.
