FDA Clears IND Application for REC-1245, a RBM39 Degrader for Biomarker-Enriched Solid Tumors and Lymphoma
Chris Gibson, Ph.D., Co-founder and CEO of Recursion said, “REC-1245 is a prime example of using an expansive AI-enabled platform for drug discovery. After exploring many predicted biological and chemical relationships across our maps of biology, we identified RMB39 as a novel target that looks functionally similar to the well-known but hard to drug target CDK12. We also identified and optimized small molecules that target RBM39 without directly impacting CDK12 or CDK13 using these same AI-enabled maps. In under 18 months, leveraging some of our newer chemistry tools, Recursion rapidly progressed REC-1245 from novel target biology to preclinical drug candidate, more than twice the speed of industry average.”

“KEYTRUDA has helped transform the treatment of certain cancers, and we continue to pursue innovations that build on this breakthrough medicine to give patients and those who treat them better experiences,” said Dr. Marjorie Green, senior vice president and head of oncology, global clinical development, Merck Research Laboratories. “If approved,
“We are disappointed for ovarian cancer patients desperately lacking new treatment options. There has been a great deal of work across the industry in this immunologically cold tumor, yet there are still few treatment options that improve survival in this very difficult-to-treat tumor type. We are still on track to
“The improvement in survival seen in ROSELLA, without an increased safety burden, brings us closer to delivering a new standard-of-care treatment for patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer,” said Bill Guyer, PharmD, Corcept’s Chief Development Officer. “We deeply appreciate the patients and investigators who participated in the trial, and we look
