May 8th

Greetings Readers,


An under-the-radar company is making significant strides in developing next-generation therapies designed to tackle some of the most aggressive and overlooked cancers.


Through a growing lineup of advanced drug candidates and strategic collaborations with leading research institutions, this organization is redefining what’s possible in targeted cancer treatment.


And with the Acute Myeloid Leukemia ("AML") treatments set to reach $6.29Bn by 2030, the potential for major market disruption could be looming.


Early data highlights strong potential across multiple indications, supported by regulatory designations that accelerate development.


As it advances toward key milestones, this company is rapidly gaining attention within the scientific community.


With a low float under 6Mn shares signaling strong volatility potential and aggressive analyst targets pointing to potential triple-digit upside, this Nasdaq profile is climbing our watchlist:


Moleculin Biotech, Inc. (Nasdaq: MBRX)


Moleculin Biotech, Inc. is a Phase 3 clinical stage pharmaceutical company advancing a pipeline of therapeutic candidates addressing hard-to-treat tumors and viruses.


The Company’s 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.


And based on several potential catalysts we've uncovered, (Nasdaq: MBRX) is all over our radar Friday. Check them out:


#1. A Low Float May Be Establishing An Environment For Heightened Volatility Potential.


#2. An Average Analyst $21 Target Spells A Possible Triple-Digit Upside.


#3. New Data Announced: Annamycin Extends Survival By 60+% In Preclinical Models.


#4. A Key Milestone Notched As The Company Prepares For The Possibility Of A Defining Inflection Point.


#5. The Company Approaches The First Unblinding Of Data In Its Pivotal Phase 2B/3 “MIRACLE” Study Of Annamycin.


But more on those in a second...

An Overall Glance At Moleculin Biotech, Inc. (Nasdaq: MBRX)


Disruptive Technology - Patented NCE with superior safety & efficacy serving huge unmet need; First ever non-cardiotoxic alternative; avoids resistance mechanisms; superior tissue/organ distribution; ODD & Fast Track status; Rare pediatric potential


Clinically Advanced - Greater Phase 2 efficacy than any 2L AML therapy ever approved; Phase 3 Pivotal R/R AML trial underway with FDA guidance and low approval bar; two data readouts in 2026; Encouraging efficacy also seen in STS Phase 2 trial; Pancreatic cancer IIT beginning 2026


Huge Market Potential - $1Bn market in AML alone; 10x growth potential in additional indications supported by Phase 1/2 or preclinical data


Diverse Pipeline - Additional oncology/viral drug candidates with successful Phase 1/2 trials being funded by investigator-initiated studies


Deep Management Bench - 200 years of biotech experience; multiple FDA approvals


Annamycin: Next Generation Non-Cardiotoxic (1) and Organotropic Anthracycline

Annamycin is a next-generation anthracycline being evaluated in the MIRACLE (Moleculin R/R AML AnnAraC Clinical Evaluation) Trial, a pivotal, adaptive design Phase 3 trial evaluating Annamycin in combination with cytarabine, together referred to as AnnAraC, for the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML).


If successful, Annamycin has the potential to transform the standard of care for 2nd line AML.


Annamycin is also in development for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma (STS).


The company believes anthracyclines are among the most important treatments for AML and advanced STS. However, cardiotoxicity issues limit their effectiveness with life-time maximum dosing set by the US FDA.


Annamycin has demonstrated in multiple clinical trials a lack of cardiotoxicity (1), allowing us to exceed the currently set maximum lifetime dosing for an anthracycline and potentially realizing the full therapeutic potential of anthracyclines to treat serious, hard-to-treat cancers.


In addition to demonstrating a lack of cardiotoxicity (1) in patients treated in Moleculin trials to date, Annamycin is demonstrating to have superior efficacy in 2nd line AML compared to currently available treatments.


Key Highlights:


✔ Potential to be safer and more effective than current prescribed anthracyclines


✔ Non-cardiotoxic (1) and avoids cross resistance with doxorubicin, cytarabine (Ara-C) and Venetoclax


✔ Delivers more than double the Complete Response (CR) rate of any approved treatment for relapse/refractory acute myeloid leukemia


✔ US FDA Orphan Drug Designation for STS Lung Mets and AML U.S. FDA Fast Track Status for STS Lung Mets


Annamycin: Disruptive Technology


Disruptive Technology - Novel anthracycline with major structural changes and novel lipid delivery system; Biggest advancement in history of anthracyclines.


First Ever Non-Cardiotoxic Alternative - Zero cardiotoxicity seen in >100 subjects treated, most dosed over the lifetime maximum allowable limit (some up to 5x the limit); Data independently reviewed by Cleveland Clinic and FDA; allows treatment of otherwise unfit patients and expansion to consolidation and maintenance therapy.


Greater Efficacy Than Any 2L AML Drug Approval - 60% CRc (50% CR) with DoR @ 13 months and OS @ 15+ months; High response rate in Ven failures; Mutation agnostic.


Avoids Resistance Mechanisms - Circumvents MDR1 (P-glycoprotein pumps); avoids crossresistance with existing anthracyclines, venetoclax and cytarabine.


Superior Tissue/Organ Distribution - Multilamellar lipid-based delivery system supports rapid cellular uptake; “organotropism” enables targeting never before possible.

And as we mentioned above, (Nasdaq: MBRX) has multiple potential catalysts on our radar. Take a look:


#1. MBRX Potential Catalyst - A Low Float May Be Establishing An Environment For Heightened Volatility Potential.


According to info from the Yahoo Finance websiteMBRX has a fairly low float.


The website reports this profile to have roughly 5.29Mn shares in its float.


Why is that important? It's important on one crucial level. Volatility potential.


If the company provides positive news during the first half of 2026, could it help provide a breakout spark when paired with this volatility potential?

-----


#2. MBRX Potential Catalyst - An Average Analyst $21 Target Spells A Possible Triple-Digit Upside.


Take a look at what we found over at TipRanks:

If you can't see the fine print, it shares at least 3 Wall Street analysts have provided targets within the last 12 months.


In each case, their targets are suggesting MBRX to have more than triple-digit upside potential from its chart positioning at close on Thursday.


And with a $21.00 average target, MBRX may have a potential 700+% upside as of 4:00PM EST yesterday.

#3. MBRX Potential Catalyst - New Data Announced: Annamycin Extends Survival By 60+% In Preclinical Models.


Moleculin’s Annamycin Extends Survival by More Than 60% in Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Preclinical Models - Data Presented at AACR 2026


Non-cardiotoxic anthracycline demonstrates activity where traditional chemotherapies have historically failed, supporting potential expansion of Annamycin into a major unmet-need indication


Significant tumor volume reduction across multiple PDAC models, including orthotopic human and syngeneic systems (p<0.001)


Significantly higher tumor and pancreatic tissue accumulation than doxorubicin (p<0.0001), providing a mechanistic basis for Annamycin’s activity where traditional anthracyclines have historically failed


Induced infiltration of CD8+ and CD4+ T cells, suggesting potential to convert immunologically “cold” pancreatic tumors into responders and supporting future combinations with checkpoint and KRAS inhibitors


Continues to demonstrate the absence of cardiotoxicity, a well-documented limitation of conventional anthracyclines such as doxorubicin


HOUSTON, April 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Moleculin Biotech, Inc., (Nasdaq: MBRX) (“Moleculin” or the “Company”), today announced the presentation of new preclinical data at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026 highlighting the potential of its lead drug candidate, Annamycin, in pancreatic cancer. Access the poster here.


We are highly encouraged by these results, which demonstrate compelling anti-tumor activity in pancreatic cancer models. Importantly, these findings are consistent with the effects we continue to observe with Annamycin in AML,said Walter Klemp, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Moleculin.This consistency across both hematologic and solid tumor settings reinforces our confidence in Annamycin’s underlying mechanism.


It 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’s in these settings that Annamycin’s 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’s potential to expand into additional high-need cancer indications,added Mr. Klemp.

#4. MBRX Potential Catalyst - A Key Milestone Notched As The Company Prepares For The Possibility Of A Defining Inflection Point.


Moleculin Hits 45 Subject Enrollment Milestone, Triggering Final Countdown to Mid-2026 MIRACLE Trial Data Readout


First Interim Unblinding of Pivotal AML Trial Now Imminent — Potentially the Most Important Data Moment in Company History


Early Blinded Results Show 40% Remission Rate Across Difficult-to-Treat Patient Population


Enrollment Accelerating Toward 90 Subject Threshold as Phase 3 Pathway Takes Shape


HOUSTON, March 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Moleculin Biotech, Inc., (Nasdaq: MBRX) (“Moleculin” or the “Company”), today announced that the 45th subject has been enrolled in its pivotal Phase 2B/3 MIRACLE trial evaluating Annamycin in combination with cytarabine (AnnAraC) for the treatment of adult subjects with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML). This milestone triggers the final phase of preparation for the trial’s interim 45 subject data unblinding, which remains on track for mid-2026 and represents a potentially defining inflection point for the Company.


We believe this upcoming data readout represents the most important milestone in our history to date,said Walter Klemp, Chairman and CEO of Moleculin.This is a critical achievement for Moleculin and, more importantly, for patients facing relapsed or refractory AML. Reaching the 45 subject mark brings us to the threshold of our first meaningful look at MIRACLE data. Based on what we believe to be encouraging blinded results announced in February, we believe we are building real momentum toward what could be a transformative outcome. Our Phase 2 AML MB-106 clinical trial generated greater efficacy than any drug ever approved for relapsed or refractory AML, and it contributed to the more than 100 patients treated to date without any associated cardiotoxicity. What remains now is to demonstrate that a larger Phase 3 trial can produce results that will support new drug approval. The upcoming unblinding of the first 45 subjects should be a strong indicator of that potential. A true next-generation anthracycline has long been sought by medical science and would rightly be considered a gamechanger, not just for AML but for a wide range of cancers. We now appear to be on the threshold of finding out whether this can become a reality.

#5. MBRX Potential Catalyst - The Company Approaches The First Unblinding Of Data In Its Pivotal Phase 2B/3 “MIRACLE” Study Of Annamycin.


Moleculin MIRACLE Trial Delivers 40% Preliminary Blinded CRc Rate (n=30)


Preliminary blinded CR rate showed 67% improvement over historical cytarabine response


Roughly 35% of the subjects treated to date represent ventoclax regimen failures


Continued absence of cardiotoxicity and high efficacy expected to position Annamycin as a “significant advancement” in AML treatment


HOUSTON, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Moleculin Biotech, Inc., (Nasdaq: MBRX) (“Moleculin” or the “Company”), today announced that it is approaching the first unblinding of data in its pivotal Phase 2B/3 “MIRACLE” study of Annamycin in combination with cytarabine for the treatment of adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are refractory to or relapsed (R/R) after induction therapy (R/R AML), having treated 35 subjects to date with another 11 in screening or identified. Additional subjects continue to be identified by site investigators. The targeted number for the first unblinding of data is 45 subjects with the Company believing it is on track to treat the 45th subject in Q1 2026 with unblinding of data thereafter. This update is as of February 10, 2026, as treatment, identification and recruitment are ongoing.


Additionally, the Company reports a preliminary composite complete remission (CRc) rate of 40% in the MIRACLE trial’s first 30 subjects treated and with blinded, preliminary efficacy data. This CRc rate is comprised of a complete remission (CR) rate of 30% and complete remission with partial hematological recovery (CRh) of 10%.


The blinded efficacy rates we’re seeing in MIRACLE are exceptionally encouraging,said Walter Klemp, Chairman and CEO of Moleculin.And, of course, this includes the control arm of cytarabine plus placebo, which suggests that the Annamycin results should be better. Even with the control arm included, these preliminary, blinded results substantially outperform historical outcomes for CR with cytarabine alone and reinforce our expectations of what Annamycin can become in the treatment of R/R AML. Of particular note is that roughly 35% of the subjects treated to date are relapsed or refractory (R/R) from a venetoclax regimen, a subject population that is generally considered among the most challenging to address with 2nd line therapies. With the first unblinding now clearly in sight, we are entering what we believe is a transformational period for the Company.
