Recursion Pharmaceuticals Inc. received fast-track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a polyp treatment, the company said Monday.

The Salt Lake City biotech company received the approval for the accelerated development of its REC-4881 pill for the treatment of familial adenomatous polyposis in patients who have previously undergone certain colon surgeries. The FDA grants fast-track status to treatments for significant unmet medical needs.

Recursion Pharmaceuticals expects to enroll patients for a Phase 2 trial of REC-4881 to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy in familial adenomatous polyposis patients in the third quarter.
