REDX PHARMA PLC
("Redx" or "the Company")
Redx Pharma to present two posters at the 2019 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting
Posters show that RXC004 has the ability to directly target tumour growth and stimulate the host immune response against tumours
Alderley Park, 29 March 2019 - Redx Pharma (AIM: REDX), the drug discovery and development company focused on cancer and fibrosis, announces that the two abstracts submitted by the Company have been accepted for presentation as posters at the 2019 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, taking place between 29 March and 3 April 2019.
Both posters relate to the Company's lead oncology candidate, RXC004, a selective, orally bioavailable porcupine (PORCN) inhibitor which targets the Wnt signalling pathway. The posters present preclinical data confirming the potential for RXC004 in modulating the immune system of the tumour microenvironment (poster #506) as well as preclinical data on the direct tumour-targeting effects of RXC004 in genetically-defined models of cancer (poster #3874).
Redx is evaluating RXC004 in an ongoing first-in-man clinical trial. The trial is a modular, multi-arm, multi-part, Phase 1/2a, adaptive design study whose primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the drug in patients with advanced malignancies (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03447470).
Richard Armer, Chief Scientific Officer of Redx Pharma plc commented, "We are delighted to be presenting again at this high-profile cancer conference. These poster presentations demonstrate our continued understanding of how RXC004 is able to have both direct and immunomodulatory effects on tumours in various preclinical cancer models. This preclinical data will inform design of future clinical studies to investigate the full potential of this mechanism."
