About Redx Pharma Plc
Redx Pharma (AIM: REDX) is focused on the discovery and development of novel targeted medicines 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 asset, the Porcupine inhibitor RXC004, is expected to commence a Phase 2 programme in H2 2021. The Company's selective ROCK2 inhibitor, RXC007, is in development for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and commenced a Phase 1 clinical study in June 2021 for which results are expected in 2022.
The Company has a strong track record of discovering new drug candidates through its core capability of converting medicinal chemistry insights into differentiated and commercially attractive drug candidates, with five proprietary or partnered assets in late pre-clinical or clinical development. One of those assets, a BTK inhibitor - pirtobrutinib/LOXO-305 - was sold to Loxo Oncology (now Eli Lilly) and is currently in Phase 3 clinical studies in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. In addition, Redx has forged pre-clinical asset partnerships with other blue chip companies including AstraZeneca and Jazz Pharmaceuticals.
