Moreover, the company aims to initiate a Phase 1 study for its RXC008 (ROCK) asset, which would ne the sixth time Redx Pharma has brought a drug into clinical trials. In addition to these advances, Redx Pharma is also focusing on kidney fibrosis and oncology programs, with plans to progress these into clinical stages by 2026.
Anson also emphasises the potential for new partnerships, particularly in advancing their oncology program for GI cancers, highlighting Redx Pharma's strategic approach to collaboration and development.
