Moleculin preclinical data: Annamycin pancreatic cancer activity partly mediated by CD8+ T cells
Moleculin Biotech, Inc.
- Preclinical data: Annamycin's pancreatic cancer activity is partially mediated by CD8+ T cells, suggesting an immune-mediated mechanism beyond direct cytotoxicity.
- Data presented at AACR Conference on Pancreatic Cancer, Sept 25–28, 2026, at Hilton San Diego Bayfront; abstract published in Sept 15, 2026 Cancer Research supplement.
- Presenter: Angela T. Alistar, MD (Morristown Medical Center, Atlantic Health System / Carol G. Simon Cancer Center); abstract title: 'Turning cold pancreatic tumors hot'.
- Annamycin is not currently in clinical development for pancreatic cancer; lead program remains MIRACLE trial in relapsed/refractory AML, the basis of near-term milestones.
- CEO Walter Klemp: data point to 'unexpected additional benefit'; if observation holds, it broadens where Annamycin might be useful and how it might be combined.
