Key Updates
- Over $29 Million Raised in New Financing: ReCode has raised more than $29 million to advance its pipeline of genetic medicines, including investigational therapies for cystic fibrosis (CF). The funding strengthens the company’s financial foundation as it progresses its clinical and preclinical programs.
- Expanded Support from the CF Foundation: The CF Foundation, which previously invested $15 million to support the development of and early-stage clinical trials for RCT2100, an inhaled mRNA therapy, is committing an additional $3 million to support the company’s ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial of RCT2100. RCT2100 is designed to provide functional CFTR protein by delivering a correct copy of CFTR mRNA to lung cells, offering potential benefits to all people with CF, including those with rare and nonsense mutations who do not benefit from existing modulator therapies. In total, the Foundation has agreed to invest up to $33 million in ReCode’s mRNA and gene editing research programs. For more information, please visit www.CF-Clinical-Studies.com.
- Partnership with Praxis Precision Medicines for ASO Delivery: ReCode has entered into a research collaboration with Praxis Precision Medicines, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company translating genetic insights into the development of therapies for central nervous system disorders characterized by neuronal excitation-inhibition imbalance, to identify a well-tolerated lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulation that enhances the delivery of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to underexposed brain regions.
- ERS and NACFC Attendance: ReCode leadership will attend the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from September 27 to October 1, and the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) in Seattle from October 22 to 25.
