Jazz buys KRAS programme from Redx in $880m deal

Jazz Pharma has agreed another pipeline-building deal, this time paying $10 million upfront for rights to a KRAS inhibitor programme from UK biotech Redx Pharma, continuing a move into targeted cancer therapies.

Under the terms of the deal, Jazz will acquire Redx’s KRAS inhibitor programme outright, including multiple preclinical-stage drug candidates, and will take responsibility for ushering the most promising compounds through clinical trials and onto the market.
