Importantly, these findings are consistent with the effects we continue to observe with Annamycin in AML,\u201d said Walter Klemp, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Moleculin. \u201cThis consistency across both hematologic and solid tumor settings reinforces our confidence in Annamycin\u2019s underlying mechanism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cIt is important to highlight that the clinical landscape continues to reflect the trend toward increased use of combination therapies, especially those that combine innovative targeted mechanisms with time-tested cytotoxic payloads. It\u2019s in these settings that Annamycin\u2019s potential may be at its greatest considering its lack of cardiotoxicity, greater tolerability and ability to avoid resistance mechanisms. We believe these data underscore Annamycin\u2019s potential to expand into additional high-need cancer indications,\u201d added Mr. Klemp<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The data demonstrate that liposomal Annamycin (L-ANN), a novel, non-cardiotoxic anthracycline, produced significant tumor growth inhibition across multiple pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) models, including orthotopic human PDAC and syngeneic systems, with strong statistical significance (p &lt; 0.001). These findings were accompanied by a meaningful survival benefit in a metastatic model, where treatment extended median survival by more than 60% compared to control (29 days versus 18 days; p = 0.0003), underscoring the potential clinical relevance of L-ANN in aggressive disease settings.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Pharmacokinetic analyses further demonstrated enhanced tumor penetration and retention of Annamycin compared to doxorubicin, with significantly higher accumulation observed in pancreatic tissue and tumors (p&lt;0.0001). These data provide a mechanistic basis for the observed anti-tumor activity and highlight a key differentiating feature of Annamycin relative to traditional anthracyclines, which have historically shown limited efficacy in pancreatic cancer.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In addition to its direct cytotoxic effects, L-ANN was shown to induce immune activation within the tumor microenvironment, including increased infiltration of CD8+ cytotoxic T cells and CD4+ helper T cells. These findings suggest the potential for Annamycin to convert immunologically \u201ccold\u201d pancreatic tumors into more responsive phenotypes, supporting its evaluation both as a monotherapy and in combination with other drugs, including immune checkpoint and KRAS inhibitors.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Consistent with prior studies, Annamycin also demonstrated a favorable safety profile, including the absence of cardiotoxicity, a well-documented limitation of conventional anthracyclines such as doxorubicin. This differentiated safety profile may enable broader therapeutic use and synergistic combination strategies.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Company is currently evaluating Annamycin in combination with cytarabine (Ara-C), collectively referred to as AnnAraC, in its pivotal Phase 2B\/3 \u201cMIRACLE\u201d trial for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R\/R AML) following induction therapy. The MIRACLE trial is a global, adaptive Phase 2B\/3 clinical study being conducted across the United States, Europe, and other international sites.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">These data were presented at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=WlD3J4CHfyCjr8Mcg9wFJfLdfivUdhQ1u4K6_KIbGpxMQ2Qehsw76e6Ya4ho-0zYh1FrOb2Un4IBIpI1ij6nXD5bQ2zoTNc6gQP8sf8-Iupgz7BjOaAPwqE6c5TPJOreuQ-euzzu-QmACfTr6m5jO2S1i2GpmyZpMmab9--G9HRsKRYmAGpVtbWSGnmFqHLpkF-3G4kExCcV-Sqn1IBVKkbA8NLLHeKjvpQTBjE-HDr_JVorkXwt_tSEyV8fYcnL615pyTRagwhWFsNrefLv7LYF5bkcFI_KNPonVdndvQ80eskCJEvStbPjm-l5VW6wT4cIXS8j0VYAGcLqOPIHle_PkjBeRWTLZpI-6TkKr0XHobzE_ndljrlZzw17j9ahMBSPC_0YPONd3aZwrsg2o3OaP4w-drqH9EkqgcH8_YWg2Veo2TqBflozqoEu4EKrIcqZj8kgFV9JUTGpNwz4Pw==\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026<\/a>.

The Company\u2019s lead program, Annamycin (also known as naxtarubicin), is a highly efficacious and well tolerated anthracycline designed to avoid multidrug resistance mechanisms and to lack the cardiotoxicity common with currently prescribed anthracyclines. Annamycin is currently in development for the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and soft tissue sarcoma (STS) lung metastases.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Company has begun the MIRACLE (<b>M<\/b>olecul<b>i<\/b>n\u00a0<b>R<\/b>\/R AML\u00a0<b>A<\/b>nnAraC\u00a0<b>Cl<\/b>inical\u00a0<b>E<\/b>valuation) Trial (MB-108), a pivotal, adaptive design Phase 3 trial evaluating Annamycin in combination with cytarabine, together referred to as AnnAraC (the combination of Annamycin and cytarabine, also referred to as \u201cAra-C\u201d) for the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. Following a successful Phase 1B\/2 study (MB-106), with input from the FDA, the Company believes it has substantially de-risked the development pathway towards a potential approval for Annamycin for the treatment of AML. This study remains subject to appropriate future filings with potential additional feedback from the FDA and their foreign equivalents.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Additionally, the Company is developing WP1066, an Immune\/Transcription Modulator capable of inhibiting p-STAT3 and other oncogenic transcription factors while also stimulating a natural immune response, targeting brain tumors, pancreatic and other cancers. Moleculin also has in its pipeline a portfolio of antimetabolites, including WP1122 for the potential treatment of pathogenic viruses, as well as certain cancer indications.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For more information about the Company, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=Y4Xgc26losvegTR9lOhMFPGUkiLyt2urbYbfOT0nE4iy665bP6HiBHRqxXEdsNO9cLldBXX0ghyFg4_enLBxiWBWaijdHvqQUontIG4h_Kc=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">www.moleculin.com<\/a> and connect on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=CjfHpG2gEg7XQoIzUYzUh4WJr7NBywd8mTTXfcYAGqg1TbXIdIwFR9pDi22x_NrwWHXa1dJ7il9SHTzJnC_jRcZPtRcMAbdXWF7whYkUoT0=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=z2WpKELpI3w8tiZ6nWFVE7FljoMXEiV4lxDG8rplFrsRoyQ11ko0euUwB3XUMh31f_u4UdnY53368grhbj5nDJ8C9JdWXsX8NcV7NBEdRa8rcbJmtFBj80NCffUjW7D0\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=s3PBlc0Tb22IIiKNPitPSmI-NjRajxVpsjzA46yzyjMLAAe-cgGN3G1GydZHYLX8S4NQ858sE4Xix147KEACWUTu9IKVYfO3qXVtQIkj8uc=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <b>Forward-Looking Statements<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Some of the statements in this release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which involve risks and uncertainties.
