Recursion Announces FDA Clearance of Investigational New Drug Application for REC-1245, a Potential First-In-Class RBM39 Degrader for Biomarker-Enriched Solid Tumors and Lymphoma

  • First program to combine Recursion’s end-to-end suite of AI-enabled active learning modules, resulting in target identification to IND enabling studies in under 18 months
  • Plan to initiate dosing of Phase 1/2 in Q4 2024 to evaluate REC-1245 in a biomarker enriched patient population, including patients with solid tumors and lymphoma

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Recursion (NASDAQ: RXRX), a leading clinical stage TechBio company decoding biology to industrialize drug discovery, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared an investigational new drug (IND) application for a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of REC-1245, a new chemical entity for the treatment of 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.”

Recursion identified the novel regulatory role of RBM39 associated with CDK12 using its maps of biology and first reported this relationship in early 2023 at Download Day, Recursion’s R&D and investor event. Recursion believes the modulation of RBM39 may be associated with a therapeutic effect in certain biomarker-enriched solid tumors and lymphoma. Additionally, Recursion estimates that the initially addressable population for this potential therapeutic to be >100,000 patients in the US and EU5. REC-1245 is a potent and selective RBM39 degrader with a potential first-in-class profile. Preclinical data support that RBM39 degradation induces splicing defects which downregulate DNA Damage Response (DDR) networks and cell cycle checkpoints.

“RBM39 degraders may offer a promising therapeutic approach for patients with solid tumors, particularly those with limited treatment options,” said Najat Khan, Ph.D., Chief R&D Officer and Chief Commercial Officer at Recursion. “Recursion’s platform was among the first to rapidly uncover the therapeutic potential of RBM39 degradation, a finding now validated by independent research. This mechanism provides new opportunities for targeting tumors, which are often resistant to conventional treatments. By advancing this research, we aim to deliver a critical option for patients facing significant unmet needs, ultimately improving their prognosis and quality of life.”

The Phase 1/2 clinical trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and potential monotherapy efficacy of REC-1245, and is expected to initiate in Q4 2024.

About Recursion

Recursion (NASDAQ: RXRX) is a clinical stage TechBio company decoding biology to industrialize drug discovery. Enabling its mission is the Recursion OS, a platform built across diverse technologies that continuously expands one of the world’s largest proprietary biological and chemical datasets.

‫فينفاست تمهد الطريق للاستدامة في المستقبل

شركة فينفاست هي أول شركة تتخصص في تصنيع المركبات الكهربائية في فيتنام، وهي تسعى
إلى تطوير مجال النقل وقيادة التحول إلى تطبيق حلول الطاقة النظيفة والمستدامة. 

لم يكن الهدف من إنشاء شركة فينفاست أن تكون مجرد شركة لإنتاج السيارات التقليدية؛ فقد تأسست الشركة بناءً على رؤية مجموعة فينجروب الأوسع نطاقًا التي تشجع على الابتكار والتغيير المجتمعي، ولذلك تعتقد فينفاست أنه لا يمكن تحقيق الاستدامة مستقبلًا إلا عندما يحظى الجميع باستخدام المركبات الكهربائية الذكية والآمنة والمراعية للحفاظ على البيئة.

مجمع فينفاست لتصنيع المركبات الكهربائية في هاي فونج، فيتنام.

فام نات فونج، رئيس مجلس إدارة فينجروب، أكد ذات مرة على ما سبق ذكره قائلًا: “تساءل عديد من الأشخاص عن سبب إنشاء فينجروب لشركة فينفاست. لقد بدأ الأمر في الواقع برغبتنا في المساهمة في المجتمع، ولم يكن مجرد مسألة تجارية”.

إن التزام فينفاست بتحقيق الاستدامة في المستقبل ليس مجرد شعار؛ ففي عام 2022، وقعت فينفاست على تعهد المناخ سعيًا نحو انعدام الانبعاثات الكربونية بحلول عام 2040 وإعلان مؤتمر الأطراف (COP26) لدعم استخدام المركبات الخالية من الانبعاثات، وبذلك تتعهد الشركة ببيع مركبات خالية من الانبعاثات بنسبة 100٪ في الأسواق الرئيسية بحلول عام 2035.

شهدت شركة فينفاست تحولًا جذريًا عندما قررت عدم إنتاج السيارات التي تعمل بمحركات الاحتراق الداخلي، وبذلك أصبحت من أولى الشركات على مستوى العالم التي تتخصص في تصنيع المركبات الكهربائية. هذا القرار وضع الشركة في طليعة التحول العالمي نحو الطاقة النظيفة استجابةً لتزايد الطلب العالمي على الحلول المستدامة. علاوة على ذلك، تتبع الشركة نهجًا متكاملًا للاستدامة لا يقتصر على إنتاج المركبات الكهربائية، بل يتضمن أيضًا تحمل المسؤولية البيئية في كل جانب من جوانب أعمالها.

منظومة فينفاست للتنقل الكهربائي، التي تشمل سيارات وحافلات ودراجات بخارية وبنية تحتية للشحن، تُعد نموذجًا للنقل بوسائل المواصلات التي تحافظ على البيئة. لا تقتصر جهود فينفاست على إنتاج المركبات الكهربائية، بل إنها تدعم أيضًا الاقتصاد الدائري من خلال التعاون مع معاهد أبحاث رائدة لتقديم حلول خالية من الكربون واستخدام بطاريات قابلة لإعادة التدوير وتم اختيار مورديها بحرص شديد. بدأ إنشاء مشروع ضخم في عام 2022 وما زال مستمرًا لبناء محطات شحن سريع في جميع أنحاء فيتنام، وذلك من أجل تيسير استخدام المركبات الكهربائية وتشجيع المستهلكين على التحول من المركبات التقليدية إلى المركبات الكهربائية.

كما قدمت الشركة نموذج اشتراك البطارية الذي يحل محل البطاريات القديمة بسعة 70٪ حيث يمكن إعادة استخدام بطاريات المركبات الكهربائية لتخزين الطاقة. يقلل هذا النموذج إلى حد كبير من الانبعاثات ويحسن مستوى استخدام الموارد ويعزز التزام الشركة بالحفاظ على البيئة.

مبادرات شركة فينفاست للاستدامة ترتبط ارتباطًا وثيقًا بابتكاراتها في عمليات التصميم والإنتاج؛ فمن خلال دمج الروبوتات الموفرة للطاقة والمواد المستدامة، تعمل فينفاست على تقليل النفايات وتحسين كفاءة الطاقة في التصنيع، ووضع معايير جديدة للإنتاج المراعي للبيئة. أما بالنسبة لإدارة سلسلة التوريد، فإن مبادئ الشركة المتعلقة بالتوطين والتصنيع في المناطق القريبة والتنويع والتحديث جعلتها تحقق معدل توطين يصل إلى 60٪، ومكنتها من إنتاج 47٪ من المواد داخليًا.

تم تقدير هذه الجهود سريعًا؛ ففي عام 2022، حصلت فينفاست على درجة 23.3 في تقييم الشركات بناءً على المعايير البيئية والاجتماعية ومعايير إدارة الشركات الصادر عن مؤسسة Morningstar Sustainalytics، وتُعد هذه الدرجة من أعلى الدرجات التي حصلت عليها شركات تصنيع المركبات الكهربائية. علاوة على ذلك، فازت الشركة بجائزة “أنصار الاستدامة المؤسسية” في حفل توزيع جوائز ORIGIN Innovation لعام 2022، ما يؤكد ريادتها في ممارسات الأعمال المستدامة.

في غضون بضع سنوات قليلة منذ إنشائها في عام 2017، أظهرت شركة فينفاست أنها قادرة تمامًا على الحفاظ على تواجدها في الساحة العالمية، وبعدما رسخت مكانتها في الأسواق الدولية مثل أمريكا الشمالية وأوروبا وجنوب شرق آسيا، بدأت على نحو استراتيجي في تأسيس أعمالها في سوق منطقة الشرق الأوسط. تتماشى هذه الخطوة بسلاسة مع رؤية الشركة للاستدامة، حيث تسعى منطقة الشرق الأوسط بنشاط إلى تنويع مصادر الطاقة وتقليل انبعاثاتها الكربونية. من ثم أينما تكون أعمال فينفاست يبرز اهتمام الشركة الراسخ بالاستدامة والذي يؤكد أنها تمهد الطريق لمستقبل أكثر نظافة وحفاظًا على البيئة.

Free-visa Phu Quoc Island rises as a new MICE tourism hotspot in the world

Visa exemption for all visitors, world-class infrastructure and a diverse range of recreational experiences are the key factors propelling Phu Quoc into the new spotlight for MICE tourism.

PHU QUOC, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 October 2024 – In Viet Nam, MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) tourists from travel companies account for an average of 15-20 per cent of total visitors. The number can reach up to 60 per cent at some large companies during peak months.

Grand ballroom at Sun Signature Gallery.

Amid this trend, Phu Quoc has recently risen as a new MICE tourism paradise thanks to special visa policy and an increasing number of attractive experiences and high-standard infrastructure.

Special visa policy

Phu Quoc is currently the only destination in Viet Nam with a special visa policy. Foreigners and Vietnamese holding foreign passports who enter, exit from, and reside in Phu Quoc Island are exempt from visas with a temporary stay period of up to 30 days.

This 30-day visa-free policy simplifies procedures for MICE groups, which often have large numbers of participants.

Thanks to this policy, many international flights operate in Phu Quoc, with frequent services from countries, including South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Mongolia.

High-end resort system

Visitors to Pearl Island can enjoy a fresh, sunny atmosphere year-round while discovering the idyllic paradise of islands and beaches.

Phu Quoc boasts some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, including Kem Beach and Sao Beach, with creamy white sand and crystal-clear waters. It also has smaller islands, including Hon Thom and Hon May Rut, offering pristine beauty and a rich diversity of marine and forest ecosystems.

With this natural advantage, resorts along wide sandy shores are key attractions for many MICE groups seeking luxury relaxation. These spaces also serve as ideal settings for team activities and memorable outdoor parties.

A prime example is JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay, known for successfully hosting MICE groups, including lavish Indian weddings, such as the globally renowned wedding of Rushang Shah and Kaabia Grewal.

New World Phu Quoc stands out with its villa-style accommodations, all featuring private pools, while Premier Residences Phu Quoc Emerald Bay offers 752 rooms at reasonable prices with five-star quality.

Notably, Phu Quoc’s luxurious restaurants and highly skilled chefs offer global cuisine, including vegetarian and Halal options.

Spacious conference facilities

Resorts in Phu Quoc are equipped with large conference rooms and halls, catering to a wide range of events.

In the heart of Sunset Town, opposite La Festa Phu Quoc – Curio Collection by Hilton, stands the Sun Signature Gallery convention centre, designed by renowned architect Bill Bensley.

Its highlight is the grand ballroom, which can accommodate up to 1,000 guests, featuring advanced technology and aesthetic appeal. The ballroom can host events in various formats, including classroom-style or workshops for up to 1,000 people, cocktail receptions for about 800 people, or seated dinners for 550-600 guests.

Additionally, the Sun Signature Gallery ballroom has cutting-edge lighting systems that allow 360-degree flexibility for dynamic lighting adjustments.

In late October, the Sun Paradise Land ecosystem in Phu Quoc will unveil the Sun Convention Centre that managed by New World, a new conference venue with a capacity of up to 1,000 guests.

Offering diverse experiences

MICE groups choose Phu Quoc for the reason of the wide range of top-tier entertainment and recreational activities.

For premium groups, Phu Quoc is a golfer’s paradise, with picturesque courses that attract enthusiasts. Notably, Eschuri Vung Bau offers a unique theme, taking players on a ‘forest to sea’ journey across 18 challenging holes. Kem Beach Driving Range is a perfect choice for beginners. The range features 18 lanes stretching 300 yards, equipped with an Auto Tee system, providing a comfortable and complete training experience.

Sun Paradise Land complex in southern Phu Quoc also offers an unparalleled entertainment experience.

Visitors can explore the Kiss Bridge, watch the Kiss of the Sea multimedia show, enjoy nightly fireworks displays, explore Vietnamese culture with the folk show at A Oi Theater and stroll through the seaside VUI-Fest bazaar.

At the end of the year, Sun Paradise Land will launch Symphony of the Sea show, which will feature a dynamic mix of Jetski and Flyboard performances, fireworks and Vietnamese cultural elements such as lion dance, festival drums… These outdoor shows, held in spacious venues, are perfectly suited for serving MICE groups.

Another must-do experience for any visitor to Phu Quoc is the journey on the world’s longest non-stop three-cable car to Hon Thom Island. This experience has been hailed as one of the most worthwhile in Phu Quoc by Lonely Planet, the world-renowned travel guide.
