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. Redx aims to progress its programmes to clinical
proof of concept before evaluating options for further development and
potential value creation. The Company expects a number of data points during
2024 including from lead fibrosis product candidate, the selective ROCK2
inhibitor, zelasudil (RXC007), in development for interstitial lung disease
and currently undertaking a Phase 2a trial for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(IPF). The Company's second fibrosis candidate, RXC008, a GI-targeted ROCK
inhibitor for the treatment of fibrostenotic Crohn's disease, is in Phase 1
development and is expected to report healthy volunteer data; and Redx's lead
oncology product candidate, the Porcupine inhibitor zamaporvint (RXC004),
being developed as a targeted treatment for Wnt-ligand dependent cancers, is
expected to report anti-PD-1 combination Phase 2 data, following which Redx
will seek a partner for ongoing development.
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 wholly-owned clinical-stage
product candidates and discovery pipeline, but also by its strategic
transactions, which includes the sale of pirtobrutinib (RXC005, LOXO-305), the
only non-covalent or reversible BTK inhibitor now approved by the US FDA, and
transactions with both AstraZeneca and Jazz Pharmaceuticals.
