Company Overview

Racura Oncology (ASX: RAC) is a Phase 3 stage clinical biopharmaceutical company with a mission to silence cancer.

Racura’s lead asset, (E,E)-bisantrene, is a small molecule anticancer agent that primarily functions via G4-DNA & RNA binding, leading to potent silencing of the important cancer growth regulator MYC. (E,E)-bisantrene has demonstrated therapeutic activity in cancer patients with a well characterised safety profile. Recent discoveries made by Racura have enabled composition of matter IP filings that provide for 20 years of patent protection over (E,E)-bisantrene.

Racura Oncology is advancing a proprietary formulation of (E,E)-bisantrene (RC220) to address the high unmet needs of patients across multiple oncology indications, with a Phase 3 clinical program in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), a Phase 1a/b program in mutant epidermal growth factor receptor non-small cell lung cancer (EGFRm NSCLC), and a Phase 1a/b program in combination with the anthracycline doxorubicin, where we aim to deliver both cardioprotection and enhanced anticancer activity for solid tumour patients.

Racura has collaborated with Astex, Emory University, Purdue University, MD Anderson, Sheba City of Health, UNC School of Medicine, University of Wollongong, and University of Newcastle. Racura is actively exploring partnerships, licence agreements, or a commercial merger and acquisition to accelerate access to RC220 for patients with cancer across the world.
