Trinity Delta Lighthouse: Redx Pharma

Trinity Delta view: The plan to delist from AIM is disappointing but, in our view, understandable. The shares have failed to reflect the value inherent in the business and, importantly, the future potential. As we have stated in previous notes, Redx has a solid track record of delivery, with six molecules in the clinic and four major partnering deals over the past five years. The announcement prompts us to suspend our Redx Pharma forecasts and valuation with immediate effect. For context, our la

Redx Pharma: Ready to ROCK as RXC008 enters the clinic

Redx Pharma’s differentiated ROCK inhibitor assets hold much promise in the treatment of a variety of serious and intractable fibrotic conditions. Hence, the start of a Phase I trial with second ROCK programme RXC008 is an important milestone. The preclinical data for RXC008 are extensive and, if replicated in the clinic, suggest that RXC008 could have a unique role in the treatment of fibrostenotic Crohn’s disease, a debilitating condition that requires repeated surgical interventions.

Trinity Delta Lighthouse: Redx Pharma

Trinity Delta view: The Jazz KRAS deal covers an under the radar programme only recently disclosed by Redx, further underscoring the strength of its medicinal chemistry expertise in discovering differentiated small molecules that address hard to drug targets in oncology and fibrosis. Business development activities also contribute non-dilutive funding, in this case extending the cash runway into 2025, beyond 2024 catalysts, thus allowing optionality around value creation from the highly attracti

Redx Pharma: Anticipating clinical momentum and catalysts in 2024

Redx Pharma’s pipeline focus is on its differentiated ROCK portfolio targeting serious and debilitating fibrotic diseases. The c £14m October fund raise extended the cash runway beyond key H124 catalysts, providing greater optionality around value creation from these assets. Topline Phase IIa data expected in H124 from lead compound zelasudil (RXC007), a next-generation selective ROCK2 inhibitor under evaluation for IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), coupled with the potential to lift the FDA

Trinity Delta Lighthouse: Redx Pharma

Trinity Delta view: Continued support from blue-chip specialist investors further underscores the strength of Redx Pharma’s assets and focused strategy. The new funds extend the cash runway beyond key 2024 catalysts and provide greater optionality around value creation from the highly attractive ROCK portfolio. H124 should see Phase IIa IPF data, which coupled to potential lift of the FDA partial clinical hold, could support further zelasudil development and indication expansion given the role o

Redx Pharma: Two key Phase II results on track for next 12 months

Redx Pharma has an impressive portfolio of ROCK programmes, with a clear focus on serious and debilitating fibrotic diseases. The lead compound, RXC007, is a next-generation ROCK2 inhibitor in Phase IIa trials for IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). Top-line results, expected in H124, should provide invaluable data on its clinical, and commercial, potential and guide future studies. RXC008, a highly novel GI-targeted ROCK inhibitor, is progressing towards IND/CTA submission by end-2023 for fibr

Trinity Delta Lighthouse: Redx Pharma

Trinity Delta view: ROCK2 inhibition could have a role in multiple diseases and conditions associated with fibrosis. Trials are already underway in lung fibrosis and these preclinical RXC007 data provide a very early suggestion of potential in cancer-associated fibrosis models. Whilst future development plans have yet to be formalised, and will require funding, we are encouraged by the broadening indications for RXC007, Redx Pharma’s lead clinical asset. Pancreatic cancer is a challenging condit

Trinity Delta Lighthouse: Redx Pharma

Trinity Delta view: Confirmation that the Redx-Jounce reverse merger will not take place clears the path for Redx to focus on pipeline delivery, with important data anticipated over the coming 12 months. While the business combination had strategic merit, providing additional funding and a NASDAQ-listing, we continue to believe that the Redx investment case remains intact. Therefore, following the formal lapse of the proposed business combination with Jounce Therapeutics, we reinstate our prior

Trinity Delta Lighthouse: Redx Pharma

Trinity Delta view: The first data from the ongoing RXC004 Phase II programme suggest that RXC004 monotherapy treatment alone is not sufficiently effective to warrant further development in BTC. However, a better indication of RXC004’s potential efficacy should arise from combination studies with CPIs Keytruda and Opdivo during H223. Some tumours do not respond to Keytruda and Opdivo and it is RXC004’s immune-enhancing mechanism that could overcome this resistance. Our Redx Pharma valuation and

Trinity Delta Lighthouse: Redx Pharma

Trinity Delta view: Following the recommended all share business combination with Jounce, in line with our usual practice, we suspend our Redx Pharma forecasts and valuation. Redx Pharma is a research client of Trinity Delta Research Limited and for the purposes of the Takeover Code, Trinity Delta is deemed to be connected with Redx Pharma.

Creo Medical Group - Speedboat savings validated

An official NHS Supply Chain case study has quantified the savings made by an NHS Trust from adopting Creo Medical’s Speedboat device to perform Speedboat Submucosal Dissection (SSD) in comparison to surgical alternatives. In total, the net cash saving from 130 SSD procedures for the NHS Trust was calculated at £687k, including savings from reduced length of hospital stay and reduced theatre costs. Notably, these savings did not include the patient and financial benefits associated with reduced

Creo Medical - NHS data validates Speedboat’s economic merit

Creo Medical has presented real-world evidence of the economic utility of its minimally invasive electrosurgical devices, based on NHS data from 130 submucosal dissection procedures using Creo’s flagship Speedboat Inject device. The data demonstrated net cash savings of £687k for the NHS trust, driven by a significant reduction in both hospitalisation and critical care costs. We believe this provides external validation to Creo’s pursuit of improving patients’ outcomes through its novel suite of
