Forward guidance

Moleculin anticipates achieving several milestones in 2020, including reaching a maximum tolerated dose in the EU AML Phase 1/2 trial for Annamycin, expanding its infectious disease portfolio via testing of WP1122, and submitting an IND for Annamycin for the treatment of tumor metastases to the lung.

Tailwinds

  • Achieving an MTD or a dose level at or above 300 mg/m2 in EU AML Phase 1/2 trial for Annamycin
  • Expanding infectious disease portfolio via testing of WP1122 against CoV-2 in animal models and in vitro testing on CoV-2 and other hard to treat viruses with other antimetabolites - resulting in a cancer or virus related IND or its equivalent possibly being filed in 2020
  • IND submission for Annamycin for the treatment of tumor metastases to the lung
  • Moving WP1220 for the treatment of CTCL forward via a new Phase 2 clinical trial by filing an IND or its equivalent or attempt to join efforts with a strategic partner
  • Continued clinical testing in adult and pediatric brain tumors with WP1066 via physician sponsored trials
