Regulation FD Disclosure

On April 23, 2026, Moleculin Biotech, Inc. (the “Company”), issued a press release which 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. 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. 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, underscoring the potential clinical relevance of L-ANN in aggressive disease settings.
A copy of the press release and presentation poster are attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
The information contained in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be “filed” for the purpose of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), nor shall it be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated by reference.
