Today’s deal follows the sale of Redx’s preclinical pan-RAF inhibitor programme to Jazz for the potential treatment of RAF and RAS mutant tumours in July 2019.

Lisa Anson, REdx pharma’s CEO said: “We are extremely pleased to announce this new collaboration with Jazz, which expands on our already strong working relationship, built through a year of collaboration on the pan-RAF inhibitor programme.  This new agreement reinforces Redx’s strong position as a successful research partner and its expertise in medicinal chemistry and drug design.”
