Investors’ muted reaction to the upbeat full-year results was mainly because most of the report’s highlights had been reported earlier in the year when they happened. 

The company received a $10 million milestone payment from Jazz Pharmaceuticals in December 2021 after making progress in its oncology research partnership to study the MAPK pathway. 

During the same month, Redx Pharma received a $9 million payment from AstraZeneca after phase I trials of its RXC006 drug candidate, now known as AZD5055. 

Lastly, in June 2022, Redx received a $5 million milestone payment from Jazz Pharmaceutical after the Us Food and Drug Administration approved its IND application for JZP815, a pan-RAF inhibitor. 

Redx Pharma also highlighted the multiple clinical trials that had commenced during the 2022 financial year, such as the PORCUPINE phase II clinical trials of its RXC004 drug, an oral Porcupine inhibitor for the targeted treatment of Wnt-ligand dependent cancers.

The phase 2 clinical trials tested RXC004’s effectiveness against multiple cancers, including select microsatellite stable metastatic colorectal cancer (MSS mCRC), pancreatic, and biliary cancer. 

Lisa Anson, Redx Pharma’s CEO, said: “I am very proud of our track record of consistently generating differentiated drug candidates and excited by the potential of the five clinical molecules we have discovered to treat significant unmet needs in cancer and fibrosis. During this period, we have continued to make strong progress across our pipeline: from our world-class discovery engine to our clinical-stage assets. Our two lead assets, RXC004 and RXC007, are now in Phase 2 clinical studies, and we look forward to reporting results from these studies during the next calendar year.”

The company had £53.9 million in cash at the end of September and is well capitalised to continue funding its operations.
