Redx to Present Preclinical Data on RXC008 in an Oral Presentation at ECM

Congress

Alderley Park, UK, 14 June 2024Redx Pharma(JPJ:REDX), the clinical-stage, small molecule biotechnology company, announces that preclinical data from the Company's oral GI-targetedpan-ROCK inhibitor, RXC008, will be presented in an oral presentation at the Extracellular Matrix Pharmacology Congress ("ECM"), being held in Copenhagen, Denmark, 17-19th June 2024.

RXC008 is a potential first-in-class treatment for fibrostenotic Crohn's disease and is specifically designed to target fibrosis in the gastrointestinal tract and to degrade quickly, if absorbed into the bloodstream, through enzyme-mediated metabolism. Preclinical data from RXC008 has shown strong anti-fibrotic therapeutic effects in multiple animal models of inflammatory bowel disease.

A Phase 1 Healthy Volunteers study of RXC008 (RXC008-0001) commenced in early 2024, with data expected by the year end.

Dr Kirsty Houslay, Principal Scientist at Redx, will make an oral presentation discussing preclinical data from studies of RXC008 in various animal models of fibrosis and Crohn's disease.

Details of the presentation are as follows:

Title: RXC008, a highly potent GI-targetedpan-ROCK inhibitor, is a first- in-class approach to treat Fibrostenotic Crohn's Disease

Plenary Session: Tissue Destruction in Inflammatory Diseases

Day/Date: Tuesday 18 June 2024

Time: 13:45-15:30 CEST

Location: Congress Hall, Tivoli Congress Center

Following the oral presentation, a copy of the presentation deck will be made available on the Company website at: https://www.redxpharma.com/scientific- publications/

About Crohn's Disease

Crohn's disease affects 1.7m1 people globally and >70,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. More than 50% of patients2 with Crohn's disease can develop significant fibrosis and stricture formation within ten years after diagnosis; this fibrosis associated with Crohn's disease is known as fibrostenotic Crohn's disease. The current management of fibrotic strictures of the gastrointestinal tract is primarily surgical as no drugs are specifically approved for fibrosis, which can progress despite intervention with anti-inflammatory therapies.
