Redx Pharma (REDX): Pan-RAF agreement strengthens balance sheet

REDX is a clinical-stage R&D company focused on drugs targeting oncology and fibrotic disease. 2018 was a year that reset the benchmarks – new management team, restructured organisation focused on two therapeutic areas, and a clean balance sheet. A core focus for 2019 has been to strengthen the balance sheet. REDX has entered into a definitive agreement with Jazz Pharmaceuticals (JAZZ) for the sale of its pan-RAF inhibitor programme. Under the terms of the contract, REDX will receive an upfront payment of $3.5m (£2.84m) and is eligible to receive up to $203m (£162m) in milestone payments.
Underlying
Redx Pharma

Redx Pharma is engaged in drug discovery, pre-clinical development and licensing. The principal activities of the business are the discovery and development of proprietary, small molecule drugs to address areas of high, unmet medical need. Co. is developing a porcupine inhibitor drug candidate, RXC004, as a cancer treatment using in vivo models of pancreatic and gastric cancer. ROCK1/2 inhibitors (known as systemic pan-Rock inhibitors) are known to induce hypotension. Co.'s ROCK inhibitor is designed to only work at the site of action in the gastrointestinal tract and degrades quickly, once absorbed, through enzyme-mediated metabolism in the blood, deeming it a soft inhibitor.
