REM-001 Therapy

REM-001 Therapy consists of three parts, a laser light source, a light delivery device and the drug REM-001 (collectively, REM-001 Therapy). REM-001 is a second generation photosensitizer drug that has undergone late stage clinical development, and which we believe possesses multiple advantages over earlier generation PDT compounds. Our lead indication for REM-001 Therapy is unresectable cutaneous metastatic breast cancer (CMBC), a disease that may affect individuals with advanced breast cancer and for which effective treatment options are limited. For this and similar cutaneous applications, the light delivery device is a simple and easy to use fiber optic wand that the physician employs to directly illuminate the tumor with light.

RXC004 is a novel, oral, potent small molecule Porcupine inhibitor, which targets the Wnt pathway, an embryonic signalling pathway that is implicated in the maintenance of cancer stem cells in multiple cancer types. This pathway is associated with tumorigenesis, metastasis, recurrence and resistance in cancer. RXC004 has now progressed into the dose-finding Phase 1 element of the study in patients with cancer. Once completed, the selected dose will then be used as a monotherapy in a larger number of patients with difficult to treat cancers (Phase 2a). In addition, the Company will look to explore the potential of RXC004 in combination with a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor following the completion of the safety and tolerability phase of this first in man clinical trial.

As mentioned at the time of the publication of the Company’s strategic update on 6 November 2017, Redx expects initial data from the 1a segment of this trial in H2 2018.

Iain Ross, Chairman of Redx Pharma plc, commented, "We are very excited by the potential of RXC004 to make a major difference in cancer treatment, and intend to progress RXC004 initially as a monotherapy and thereafter in combination with a (PD-1) checkpoint inhibitor through clinical development. We believe that RXC004 has great potential to treat some very challenging cancers that currently have very poor prognosis and we look forward to updating the market on our progress."
