Regulation FD Disclosure

On June 4, 2025, Moleculin Biotech, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release to announce that it reported positive topline efficacy results from its completed U.S. Phase 1B/2 clinical trial evaluating Annamycin for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma lung metastases (“STS lung mets”) (MB-107). A copy of the press release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is 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.
On June 4, 2025, the Company reported positive topline efficacy results from our completed U.S. Phase 1B/2 clinical trial evaluating Annamycin for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma lung metastases (“STS lung mets”) (MB-107). The MB-107 trial was a multi-center, open-label, single-arm monotherapy study that in Phase 1B determined the Maximum Tolerable Dose and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (“MTD”, “RP2D” respectively) and safety of Annamycin and in Phase 2 explored the efficacy of Annamycin as a single agent for the treatment of subjects with STS lung mets for which chemotherapy was considered appropriate.
Topline Efficacy Results Summary
• Clinical Benefit Rate (“CBR”) was 59.4% (n=32), comprised of 18 subjects with stable disease and 1 subject with a partial response (no subjects achieved Complete Response or CR)
• Progression Free Survival (“PFS”) & Overall Survival (“OS”):
• Dose and regimen optimized subjects demonstrated PFS of ~4 months and OS of ~20 months
• Overall (N=36) Median PFS was 63 days, with a 95% Confidence Interval (“CI”) between 43 and 105 days
• Median OS was 411 days, with a 95% CI between 241 and 583 days
• In Phase 2 (N=17) at 330 mg/m2:
• Median PFS was 105 days and OS for all-comers (median 6 prior therapies) of 13.5 months exceeded typical results for 2nd line monotherapies (8-12 months)1
• OS/PFS was higher (19.9 months/127 days) for subjects with fewer prior therapies (≤2) (n=7) and receiving doses of Annamycin ≤ 330 mg/m2 (the RP2D)
• Results suggest overall disease control was better at 330 mg/m2, but once combined with Phase 1B data OS and PFS was the same as overall
• Subjects achieving a Partial Response (“PR”) or Stable Disease (“SD”) with ≥2 cycles also experienced higher OS/PFS (19.7 months/122 days), demonstrating that achieving CBR from Annamycin resulted in better outcomes
• No cardiotoxicity demonstrated in all subject data as noted by an independent expert.
