-ENDSAbout Race Oncology (ASX: RAC)
Race Oncology is an ASX listed precision oncology company with a Phase 2/3 cancer
drug called Zantrene®.
Zantrene is a potent inhibitor of the Fatso/Fat mass and obesity associated (FTO)
protein. Overexpression of FTO has been shown to be the genetic driver of a diverse
range of cancers. Race is exploring the use of Zantrene as a new therapy for melanoma
and clear cell renal cell carcinoma, which are both frequent FTO over-expressing
cancers.
In breakthrough preclinical research, Race has also discovered that Zantrene protects
from anthracycline-induced heart damage, while in tandem acting with anthracyclines
to improve their ability to target breast cancer. Race is evaluating this discovery.

The Company also has compelling clinical data for Zantrene as a chemotherapeutic
agent and is in clinical trial in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML).
Race is pursuing outsized commercial returns for shareholders via its ‘Three Pillar’
strategy for the clinical development of Zantrene.
