- Agreement with University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for investigator-initiated preclinical research on Annamycin for pancreatic cancer.
- Moleculin will supply Annamycin; studies will evaluate liposomal Annamycin vs. Doxil in PDAC GEMM models.
- CEO Walter Klemp noted Annamycin's high affinity for pancreas and correlation of topoisomerase II upregulation with poor survival.
