- REC-3565
- Announced Date:
- January 7, 2025
- Indication:
- For Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Announcement
Recursion announced that the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has cleared a clinical trial application (CTA) for a Phase 1 clinical trial of REC-3565, a potential best-in-class MALT1 inhibitor for B-cell malignancies.
AI Summary
Recursion recently announced that the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) approved a clinical trial application (CTA) for a Phase 1 trial of REC-3565. This potential best-in-class MALT1 inhibitor is designed for treating B-cell malignancies, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and B-cell lymphomas. REC-3565 aims to provide better patient outcomes by reducing the risk of hyperbilirubinemia—a common side effect seen in other MALT1 inhibitors—since it does not significantly inhibit the enzyme UGT1A1. This characteristic may allow for safer dose escalation and encourage combination with other therapies. The clinical trial, set to begin dosing in early 2025, represents a significant advancement in targeted cancer therapy for patients who have relapsed or refractory diseases. This approval highlights Recursion’s commitment to innovating more effective and safer treatments using its advanced precision design platform.

REC-4881 - FDA Regulatory Timeline and Events
REC-4881 is a drug developed by Recursion Pharmaceuticals for the following indication: Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP).
This drug is under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Below is a timeline of key regulatory milestones for this therapy.
- Drug:
- REC-4881
- Announced Date:
- May 4, 2025
- Indication:
- Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)
Announcement
Recursion announced preliminary safety and efficacy results from its ongoing Phase 1b/2 TUPELO trial of REC-4881, an investigational, allosteric MEK1/2 inhibitor in development for Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP).
AI Summary
Recursion recently disclosed early safety and efficacy results from its ongoing Phase 1b/2 TUPELO trial studying REC-4881, an investigational allosteric MEK1/2 inhibitor for Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP). In the Phase 2 portion of the trial, six patients received REC-4881 at a dose of 4 mg once daily, leading to a median reduction of 43% in polyp burden by Week 13. Notably, five out of six patients experienced reductions in polyp burden ranging from 31% to 82%, while one patient saw an increase. Additionally, 50% of the patients achieved at least a one-point improvement in Spigelman stage—a measure of upper gastrointestinal disease severity. The early safety profile was consistent with known effects of MEK1/2 inhibitors, as most treatment-related adverse events were mild or moderate, with only 16% experiencing Grade 3 events and no events of Grade 4 or higher.

- Indication:
- Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)
Announcement
Recursion announced that it will present preliminary data during the 2025 Digestive Disease Week (DDW) meeting from its ongoing Phase 1b/2 clinical trial, TUPELO, which is evaluating the safety and preliminary activity of REC-4881 for the treatment of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).
AI Summary
Recursion announced it will share early data from its Phase 1b/2 TUPELO clinical trial at the 2025 Digestive Disease Week (DDW) meeting in San Diego. The trial is testing REC-4881, an allosteric MEK 1/2 inhibitor, to treat familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a rare hereditary condition with no FDA-approved treatments. The preliminary findings will be presented in a late-breaking oral session during the Research Forum on Hereditary GI Cancer Syndromes on May 4, 2025. Early results from the trial show that REC-4881 has a promising safety profile and may reduce the total polyp burden after 12 weeks of treatment. Recursion identified REC-4881 using its AI-powered platform, which helps find potential treatments by analyzing cellular models of APC gene loss, the root cause of FAP.

- CDK7 inhibitor, in advanced solid tumors.
Announcement
Recursion reported initial monotherapy dose-escalation data from the Phase 1/2 study (ELUCIDATE) of REC-617, a selective CDK7 inhibitor, in advanced solid tumors.
AI Summary
Recursion recently shared early results from the ELUCIDATE Phase 1/2 study of REC-617, a selective CDK7 inhibitor, tested as monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors. The trial showed that REC-617 has dose-linear pharmacokinetics, meaning the drug’s concentration in the body increases consistently with higher doses. It also demonstrated rapid absorption and strong modulation of pharmacodynamic biomarkers, indicating effective target engagement. In the study, one patient with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, who had undergone four previous lines of therapy, achieved a confirmed partial response that has lasted over six months. Additionally, four other patients maintained stable disease for up to six months. The encouraging safety profile, coupled with these early signs of clinical activity, supports further monotherapy dose escalation and plans to begin combination studies in the first half of 2025.

This drug is under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Below is a timeline of key regulatory milestones for this therapy.
- Drug:
- REC-994
- Announced Date:
- February 5, 2025
- Indication:
- Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM)
Announcement
Recursion reported 12 month data from the Phase 2 study (SYCAMORE) of REC-994, the first industry sponsored Phase 2 trial completed in Cerebral Cavernous Malformations (CCM).
AI Summary
Recursion recently shared 12-month data from its Phase 2 SYCAMORE study evaluating REC-994 in Cerebral Cavernous Malformations (CCM). This study is the first industry-sponsored Phase 2 trial in CCM. The trial met its primary endpoint by demonstrating that REC-994 is safe and well tolerated, with no treatment-related discontinuations or severe adverse events observed.
At a dose of 400 mg, REC-994 showed promising signs of benefit compared to placebo. About 50% of patients experienced a reduction in total lesion volume, and improvements in functional outcomes were noted using the modified Rankin scale. Even patients with brainstem lesions, a subgroup with high unmet need, showed a decrease in lesion size and symptom stabilization. Future plans for REC-994 will be guided by regulatory discussions and results from an ongoing long-term extension study.
Read Announcement- Drug:
- REC-994
- Announced Date:
- September 3, 2024
- Indication:
- Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM)
Announcement
Recursion announced top-line results of the SYCAMORE trial, a 12-month Phase 2 randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, safety, tolerability and exploratory efficacy study for REC-994 in symptomatic CCM patients.
AI Summary
Recursion recently announced top-line results from the SYCAMORE trial—a 12‐month, Phase 2, randomized, double‐blind, placebo-controlled study testing REC-994 in symptomatic CCM patients. The study’s primary goal was to assess safety and tolerability, and REC-994 met this endpoint. The safety profile was similar across the placebo group and both the 200mg and 400mg dosage arms, with comparable rates and severity of adverse events after one year of treatment.
Secondary exploratory endpoints using MRI showed trends toward reduced lesion volume and a smaller hemosiderin ring size in patients taking the highest 400mg dose compared to placebo. Although improvements in patient and physician-reported outcomes were not observed at the 12-month mark, the data supports further investigation. Recursion plans to meet with the FDA soon to discuss the next clinical study, aiming to build on these encouraging early findings.
