Positive Data Demonstrating High Anti-Cancer Activity of Annamycin and Non-Cardiotoxic Properties
On April 8, 2024 Moleculin announced positive preclinical data regarding the Company’s next-generation anthracycline, Annamycin, at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting, April 5-10, 2024 in San Diego, CA.
The poster titled, Non-cardiotoxic Properties of Annamycin, a Clinically Evaluated Anthracycline and Potent Topoisomerase 2β Poison, outlined results from the assessment and comparison of the potency of doxorubicin (a commonly prescribed anthracycline) and Annamycin, Moleculin’s next-generation anthracycline, against topoisomerase II-alpha and II-beta and determine their impact on physiology of human cardiomyocytes demonstrating no pathologic changes in mice hearts following chronic in vivo exposure.
Positive Interim Data from Phase 1B/2 Clinical Trial in AML at Meeting with KOL’s in Conjunction with ASH Annual Meeting
On December 11, 2023 Moleculin announced the presentation of preliminary efficacy findings from the Company’s ongoing European Phase 1B/2 clinical trial evaluating Annamycin for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia or AML (MB-106) to key opinion leaders and current investigators at a meeting held in conjunction with the 65th American Society of Hematology Meeting and Exposition (ASH) in San Diego on December 10, 2023. Additionally, the Company will have a paper published on its MB-106 clinical trial as part of ASH.

Preclinical Pancreatic Cancer Data Presented at AARC Annual Meeting
On April 3, 2019, Moleculin announced preclinical data supporting activity of its STAT3-inhibiting Immune/Transcription Modulators was presented at the 2019 Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research in Atlanta, GA. The presentation included data resulting from preclinical evaluation in pancreatic cancer models of STAT3 inhibitors WP1066 and WP1732, both discovered at MD Anderson Cancer Center and licensed by Moleculin.
New Data Shows Reversal of Tumor Activity in Animal Models
On December 19, 2019, Moleculin announced the presentation of a poster entitled, “Liposomal annamycin inhibition of lung localized breast cancer,” at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. Importantly, the published poster, shows substantially increased survival in both triple negative breast cancer and colon cancer lung metastases animal models.
New Data Confirms Anti-tumor Efficacy of Annamycin in Both Human and Murine AML Models
On October 29, 2019, Moleculin announced the presentation of a poster at the AACR-NCI-EORTC Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics Conference today in Boston, MA. The poster, entitled “Dose and Schedule-Dependent Efficacy of Liposomal Annamycin in Pre-clinical Models of Acute Myeloid Leukemia,” presents data documenting the high activity of Annamycin against AML.
