(Nasdaq: MNPR),\u00a0a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing proprietary therapeutics designed to extend life or improve the quality of life for cancer patients, today announced its Phase 1b open-label dose-escalation clinical trial of camsirubicin in the US is active and recruiting patients. The trial is evaluating the safety and anti-tumor activity of increasing doses of camsirubicin in combination with growth factor support (pegfilgrastim\/G-CSF) for the treatment of advanced soft tissue sarcoma (ASTS).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis trial initiation marks a pivotal moment in the development of camsirubicin. The goal is to determine whether escalating doses of camsirubicin result in an increased anti-cancer effect in patients with ASTS, while also maintaining an appropriate safety profile,\u201d said Chandler Robinson, MD, Monopar\u2019s Chief Executive Officer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very pleased with the positive response and dedication from physicians and clinical sites interested in participating in this clinical trial, enabling us to initiate the study in the US faster than we anticipated,\u201d said Octavio Costa, MD, Monopar\u2019s Chief Medical Officer.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, ASTS patients receive doxorubicin, a widely used cancer drug that becomes more effective in higher doses. Unfortunately, patients are forced to stop treatment once a cumulative lifetime dose limit is reached, as higher dosing causes severe irreversible heart damage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCamsirubicin has already shown anti-tumor activity comparable to doxorubicin in a pilot study in ASTS patients, without any signs of irreversible heart damage,\u201d said Andrew Mazar, PhD, Monopar\u2019s Chief Scientific Officer. \u201cWe are excited, as the previous study\u2019s dose of camsirubicin will be the first dose level in this Phase 1b clinical trial. From there the dose will increase, hopefully with corresponding increases in anti-cancer effect, to identify a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of camsirubicin when given with concomitant pegfilgrastim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Further information about the camsirubicin trial is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=rGtkI3yRVKpeNsQSdU59kkw0doemd9lB1-EcxtlvZ6o_Mba5_eRV5Zq5jxy5aLrxCShcm2nD2NmJ7UkgNfMDrty2jZCc65V8fM1Uaa4DAcU=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.ClinicalTrials.gov<\/a> under study identifier <strong>NCT 05043649<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Camsirubicin<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Camsirubicin is a novel proprietary analog of the widely used cancer drug doxorubicin. It has been investigated in ASTS patients in a Phase 1 and a single arm Phase 2 clinical trial. In these studies, no camsirubicin-treated patients developed the irreversible cardiotoxicity common to doxorubicin at higher cumulative doses. The most frequent adverse event observed in the Phase 1 study was neutropenia, which was mitigated in the Phase 2 study through the use of prophylactic G-CSF. Based on encouraging clinical results to date, the Phase 1b trial is designed to test camsirubicin at even higher doses than previously administered while using concomitant prophylactic G-CSF to prevent neutropenia.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Soft Tissue Sarcoma<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a diverse type of cancer that typically develop in the connective tissue of the body. According to the\u00a0American Cancer Society, in 2021, an estimated 13,460 new STS cases will be diagnosed in the US alone, and about 5,350 people will not survive their disease. These tend to be the advanced cases; those with sarcomas that are unresectable and\/or have metastasized.\u00a0The average life expectancy from time of diagnosis for those patients with advanced disease (ASTS) is about 12 to 15 months.\u00a0Doxorubicin is the current standard of care in the 1<sup>st<\/sup>-line setting for ASTS, and has been for decades, since there have been no 1<sup>st<\/sup>-line therapeutic advancements that have improved overall survival for this patient population.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About\u00a0Monopar\u00a0Therapeutics\u00a0Inc.\u00a0<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Monopar\u202fTherapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing proprietary therapeutics designed to extend life or improve the quality of life for cancer patients.\u202fMonopar&#8217;s\u202fpipeline consists of Validive\u00ae\u202ffor the prevention of chemoradiotherapy-induced severe oral mucositis in oropharyngeal cancer patients; camsirubicin\u202ffor the treatment\u202fof advanced soft tissue sarcoma; a late-stage preclinical antibody, MNPR-101, for advanced cancers and severe COVID-19; and an early-stage camsirubicin analog, MNPR-202, for various cancers.
