Monopar Therapeutics Inc Announces Publication of Phase 2 Study Demonstrating ALXN1840 Significantly Improves Copper Balance in Patients with Wilson Disease Monopar Therapeutics Inc. announced that Hepatology Communications has published a peer-reviewed manuscript entitled “Effect of Tiomolibdate Choline on Copper Balance in Patients with Wilson Disease: an Open-label Phase 2 Trial.” The publication reports results from the Phase 2 ALXN1840-WD-204 study (NCT04573309) and demonstrates that ALXN1840 (tiomolibdate choline) produces a rapid, statistically significant, and sustained improvement in daily copper balance in patients with Wilson disease, driven by increased fecal copper excretion. Wilson disease is a rare and progressive genetic condition in which the body’s pathway for removing excess copper is compromised, leading to damage from toxic copper build-up in organs such as the liver and brain. The open-label, single-arm Phase 2 trial evaluated daily dosing of ALXN1840 in nine patients with Wilson disease across two centers in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Patients were admitted to a clinical research unit and initiated on a copper-controlled diet, with all copper intake and output collected during a pre-treatment baseline period and after initiation of daily ALXN1840 over multiple weeks. The publication builds on a recently published peer-reviewed Journal of Hepatology Letter to the Editor, which highlighted the importance of comparing outcomes to a pre-treatment baseline to accurately assess the effect of a potential Wilson disease treatment on copper balance. Statistically significant reduction in daily copper balance from baseline, due to increased fecal copper excretion. Cumulative mean decrease from baseline in copper balance of -6.08 mg over 21 days (95% CI: -10.18 mg to -1.98 mg). Mean daily copper balance change from baseline of -0.37 mg (p=0.005) during the 15 mg/day treatment period and -0.29 mg (p=0.023) through the overall study period. Approximately 50% increase in the daily fecal copper output-to-intake ratio compared to baseline (p=0.041). Immediate increases in plasma total copper and directly measured non-ceruloplasmin-bound copper (dNCC), consistent with copper mobilization and formation of stable albumin tripartite complexes (ATCs) consisting of copper, ALXN1840, and albumin. ALXN1840 was generally well tolerated; no serious adverse events were reported. The observed improvements in copper balance and copper mobilization occurred in a Wilson disease patient population with a mean prior current standard of care treatment duration of 16 years, suggesting that despite years of treatment with currently available therapies, patients present with a considerable amount of residual copper in the body that ALXN1840 is able to mobilize and eliminate. This finding is consistent with data from the completed 48-week Phase 3 trial, in which ALXN1840 demonstrated superior copper mobilization compared to standard of care even in patients with a mean prior standard of care treatment duration of 11 years. ALXN1840 (tiomolibdate choline, TMC) is a novel first-in-class Albumin Tripartite Complex (ATC) activator under investigation for the treatment of Wilson disease. ALXN1840 rapidly mobilizes and tightly sequesters excess copper in ATCs, suppressing its redox reactivity, limiting oxidative damage, and blocking transport across the blood–brain barrier. In the Phase 3 pivotal trial, ALXN1840 demonstrated rapid and sustained copper mobilization (primary endpoint) that was significantly greater than standard of care over 48 weeks in both previously treated and untreated patients. Durable clinical improvement and a favorable safety and tolerability profile were observed across 645 patient-years of follow-up in 266 patients. Anuncio • May 04

Monopar Therapeutics Inc. Presents Phase 3 Data Showing Greater Neurologic Benefit With ALXN1840 Versus Standard of Care In Wilson Disease Patients With Neurologic Symptoms Monopar Therapeutics Inc. announced new analyses from the randomized controlled Phase 3 FoCus trial of ALXN1840 (tiomolibdate choline, TMC) showing greater neurologic benefit versus standard of care (SoC) in Wilson disease patients with neurologic symptoms at baseline. In a late-breaker oral and poster presentation titled “Greater clinical benefit with tiomolibdate choline versus standard-of-care in neurologic Wilson disease patients in the Phase 3 FoCus Trial,” Dr. Peter Hedera, MD, PhD, Department of Neurology, University of Louisville School of Medicine, will present results showing that ALXN1840 provided greater neurologic improvement and significantly less worsening than standard of care through Week 48, with durable neurologic benefit observed over multiple years of treatment. In the randomized FoCus trial, analysis of patients with neurologic symptoms at baseline (TMC: n=77; SoC: n=35) demonstrated that treatment with ALXN1840 resulted in both higher rates of improvement and lower rates of worsening, addressing a critical unmet need in the neurologic management of Wilson disease. Clinically meaningful neurologic worsening at Week 48 was observed in 25% of patients treated with standard of care vs 9% of ALXN1840-treated patients (p=0.038). Clinically meaningful neurologic improvement at Week 48 was observed in 45% of ALXN1840-treated patients vs 32% on standard of care. CGI-S improvement from baseline to Week 48 was greater with ALXN1840 vs standard of care (61% vs 17%; p=0.008). CGI-I improvement at Week 48 was greater with ALXN1840 vs standard of care (47% vs 19%; p=0.003). Durable neurologic benefit in the ALXN1840-treated group continued to increase during long-term follow-up on treatment and was sustained over approximately 3 years. Neurologic benefit was consistent across both treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients with neurologic symptoms at baseline, supporting ALXN1840’s potential as a novel treatment option for Wilson disease. ALXN1840 has demonstrated a well-characterized and favorable safety profile across Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies (266 patients; median 2.58 years on treatment; max >8 years), with drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs) limited to 4.9% of patients — including neurologic SAEs in < 1% — and no treatment-related deaths. These findings support the continued advancement of ALXN1840 toward the planned New Drug Application (NDA) submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in mid-2026. Wilson disease is a rare genetic disorder that affects approximately 1 in 30,000 people worldwide. It is caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, which impairs the body's ability to excrete copper. It is characterized by toxic accumulation of copper in the liver, brain, and other organs, leading to progressive and potentially fatal outcomes if untreated. ALXN1840 (tiomolibdate choline, TMC) is a novel first-in-class Albumin Tripartite Complex (ATC) activator under investigation for the treatment of Wilson disease. ALXN1840 rapidly mobilizes and tightly sequesters excess copper in ATCs, suppressing its redox reactivity, limiting oxidative damage, and blocking transport across the blood–brain barrier. Clinical data demonstrate that ALXN1840 improves copper balance by increasing fecal copper excretion. In the Phase 3 pivotal trial, ALXN1840 demonstrated rapid and sustained copper mobilization (primary endpoint) that was significantly greater than standard of care over 48 weeks in both previously treated and untreated patients. Durable clinical improvement and a favorable safety and tolerability profile were observed across 645 patient-years of follow-up in 266 patients. Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • Apr 07

Monopar Therapeutics Inc. to Present New Long-Term Neurological Efficacy and Safety Data for ALXN1840 in Wilson Disease at the 150th American Neurological Association Annual Meeting Monopar Therapeutics Inc. announced that new data on the long-term neurological efficacy and safety of its investigational therapy ALXN1840 (tiomolybdate choline) for Wilson disease will be presented at the 150th American Neurological Association (ANA) Annual Meeting on September 14-15, 2025. The analysis pooled efficacy outcomes from three independent clinical trials (n=255), while safety data included a fourth independent clinical trial (n=266). Median treatment duration with ALXN1840 was approximately 2.6 years for both the efficacy and safety analyses. The new data presented at ANA highlight the long-term neurological benefit of ALXN1840, and follow the recent presentation of long-term hepatic and systemic efficacy and safety data at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) International Liver Congress 2025. Together, these findings underscore the potential of ALXN1840 for both the neurological and hepatic manifestations of Wilson disease. Key findings to be presented at ANA include: Sustained Neurological Improvement: Statistically significant neurologic improvement from baseline on the Unified Wilson Disease Rating Scale ("UWDRS") Part II (patient-reported symptoms) and Part III (clinician-reported symptoms) was sustained over 6 years. Crossover Benefit: Patients who crossed over from standard of care ("SoC") to ALXN1840 showed additional neurological improvement, including a majority of patients who had worsened on SoC demonstrating a reversal on ALXN1840. Psychiatric Outcomes: Statistically significant psychiatric improvement from baseline was sustained over multiple years, as measured by the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale ("BPRS"). Consistency Across Trials: Neurological benefit was observed consistently across multiple independent studies. Favorable Safety Profile: Across more than 645 patient-years on ALXN1840, less than 1% of patients experienced a drug-related neurological serious adverse event (“SAE”). New Risk • Sep 03

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 86% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (77% average daily change).

Monopar Receives Clearance to Proceed with Phase 1 Therapeutic Trial of Novel Radiopharmaceutical in Advanced Cancers Monopar Therapeutics Inc. announced it has received Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) clearance in Australia to commence a Phase 1 therapeutic trial of its novel radiopharmaceutical MNPR-101-Lu. MNPR-101-Lu combines the therapeutic radioisotope lutetium-177 (Lu-177) with Monopar’s proprietary first-in-class humanized monoclonal antibody MNPR-101, which is highly selective against the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR). The MNPR-101-Lu Phase 1 clinical trial will enroll patients with advanced solid cancers and will be a therapeutic follow-on study to the currently ongoing MNPR-101-Zr imaging and dosimetry clinical trial. The results from preclinical studies of MNPR-101-Lu are promising. In a 90-day efficacy study in a human pancreatic cancer xenograft mouse model as an example, MNPR-101-Lu demonstrated durable antitumor effects after a single injection, achieving complete elimination of tumors that lasted the duration of the study. The MNPR-101-Lu imaging data in a human pancreatic cancer xenograft mouse model presented in March provides additional insight into the strong therapeutic effect observed after a single injection of MNPR-101-Lu. The imaging data demonstrates the high specificity and durable uptake of MNPR-101-Lu in the tumor relative to normal tissue. Anuncio • Aug 14
Monopar Therapeutics Inc. Announces Initial Data for First Patient Dosed in Radiopharma Phase 1 Clinical Trial of MNPR-101-Zr Monopar Therapeutics Inc. announced the successful dosing of the first patient in its open-label Phase 1 imaging and dosimetry clinical trial of its uPAR-targeted imaging radiopharmaceutical MNPR-101-Zr. MNPR-101-Zr was well-tolerated with no serious adverse reactions reported through the last imaging timepoint and the corresponding initial safety review. Preliminary analysis of MNPR-101-Zr’s pharmacokinetics and biodistribution suggests the low radiation dose to healthy tissue aligns with what was anticipated based on the previously presented MNPR-101-Zr preclinical biodistribution data. Dosimetry analysis showed absorbed organ doses were well below accepted safety limits; for example, the radiation dose to red bone marrow was about 14 mGy, which is around 150 times less than the generally accepted limit of 2-to-3 Gy. No unanticipated or excessive uptake of MNPR-101-Zr was observed in any critical organs through the end of the subject’s imaging period. The patient has metastatic disease from a cancer type not known for high uPAR expression. The study aims to include several patients with cancers known to express high levels of uPAR to gain insight into MNPR-101-Zr’s tumor uptake profile, in addition to patients with cancers of unknown uPAR expression.

Monopar Therapeutics Inc. Announces Filing of Patent Protecting MNPR-101 Radiopharma Optimization Findings Monopar Therapeutics Inc. announced that it has filed a provisional patent application pertaining to the recent advancements and optimizations Monopar has achieved with its MNPR-101 radiopharmaceutical program. The provisional patent titled “Antibody Radioisotope Constructs” that was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) outlines the MNPR-101-Zr construct, including variations on the radioisotopes, linkers, and antibody which could enhance the clinical profile of the construct, including properties such as its stability and biodistribution. It also covers the formulations and uses of MNPR-101-Zr, a zirconium-89 imaging radioisotope labeled version of MNPR-101, Monopar’s proprietary first-in-class humanized monoclonal antibody that is highly-selective against the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR). Monopar expects this provisional patent application to further strengthen its intellectual property around the MNPR-101 radiopharma program, under which the Company is aiming to develop therapies for numerous hard-to-treat advanced cancers that express uPAR. Monopar recently announced the initiation of its Phase 1 dosimetry clinical trial for MNPR-101-Zr in patients with advanced cancers. Anuncio • Apr 10
Monopar Therapeutics Inc Initiates Radiopharma Phase 1 Clinical Trial for MNPR-101-Zr in Advanced Cancer Patients Monopar Therapeutics Inc. announced that its Phase 1 dosimetry clinical trial for its novel radiopharmaceutical imaging agent MNPR-101-Zr (MNPR-101 conjugated to zirconium-89) is now active and recruiting patients with advanced cancers. The antibody MNPR-101 targets the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), which is expressed on numerous tumor types including pancreatic, breast, colorectal, and bladder. The study is now open for enrollment at the Melbourne Theranostic Innovation Centre (MTIC) in Australia, and is being led by Professor Rodney Hicks, an internationally recognized physician and pioneer in the radiopharma space. MTIC will use one of the world's most sensitive, state-of-the-art, clinical total-body PET/CT (positron emission tomography–computed tomography) scanners, the Siemens Biograph Vision Quadra, to image the tumor targeting ability of MNPR-101-Zr in advanced cancer patients. The Phase 1 dosimetry trial is evaluating the safety and dosimetry of MNPR-101-Zr in up to 12 patients with advanced cancer. Preclinical data to date have shown highly specific and durable tumor uptake of MNPR-101-Zr in human cancer xenograft models. Moreover, Monopar recently shared positive preclinical efficacy data showing potent and durable anti-tumor activity of MNPR-101 bound to therapeutic radioisotopes. If the tumor uptake, biodistribution, and safety look encouraging in this Phase 1 clinical trial for MNPR-101-Zr, the Company plans to expand the study or initiate a new study to test the potential efficacy of MNPR-101 bound to a therapeutic radioisotope such as Ac-225 in patients with advanced cancers.

Monopar Therapeutics Inc. Announces Positive Preclinical Therapeutic Isotope Data for its MNPR-101 Radiopharma Program Monopar Therapeutics Inc. announced positive preclinical imaging data of a therapeutic radioisotope bound to its proprietary uPAR (urokinase plasminogen activator receptor) targeting agent MNPR-101. The data clearly demonstrate highly preferential uptake in the tumor. This is an extension of the tumor imaging and efficacy data Monopar released on February 22 (link), where Monopar disclosed biodistribution data with a diagnostic imaging radioisotope (Zirconium-89) as well as efficacy data with therapeutic radioisotopes (e.g., Actinium-225) bound to MNPR-101 in human tumor xenograft models. The new imaging data released provide additional support for the tumor-targeting ability of MNPR-101 and help explain the near complete elimination of tumors observed after a single injection of therapeutic radioisotopes bound to MNPR-101. Two of the most commercially successful radiopharmaceuticals, Pluvicto and Lutathera, use the therapeutic radioisotope Lutetium-177 (Lu-177). Beyond killing cancer cells, this radioisotope has the added advantage that its biodistribution can be visualized via SPECT (single-photon emission computed tomography) imaging. Monopar collected a sequential SPECT imaging time-series utilizing MNPR-101 conjugated to Lu-177 (MNPR-101-Lu) in a uPAR-expressing human pancreatic cancer xenograft model. High specificity and durable uptake of MNPR-101-Lu in the tumor relative to normal tissue is readily apparent, and these results are consistent with the previously released data for Monopar’s diagnostic imaging radiopharmaceutical MNPR-101-Zr. Monopar recently announced it received Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) clearance in Australia to commence a Phase 1 dosimetry clinical trial for MNPR-101-Zr in advanced cancer patients. The data disclosed further support Monopar’s efforts to create a radiodiagnostic and radiotherapeutic pairing to image and treat uPAR-positive cancers. Anuncio • Feb 29

Monopar Therapeutics Inc. Announces Promising Preclinical Data for its MNPR-101 Radiopharma Program Targeting Advanced Cancers Monopar Therapeutics Inc. announced promising preclinical imaging and therapeutic efficacy data for its MNPR-101 radiopharmaceutical program. This novel first-in-class radiopharma program targets cancers expressing the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), which include a majority of all triple-negative breast, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. MNPR-101 Conjugated to Imaging Radioisotope: Maximizing the dose delivered to the tumor relative to normal tissue is of paramount importance in radiopharmaceutical therapy. Monopar’s in-house radiopharmaceutical development team was able to significantly increase tumor uptake of MNPR-101-Zr while minimizing uptake in healthy tissue, as shown in this preclinical positron emission tomography (PET) sequential imaging time-series. The high specificity and durable tumor uptake are evident in the After Optimization panel below. MNPR-101 Conjugated to Therapeutic Radioisotopes: Preclinical data to date demonstrate compelling and durable anti-tumor benefits with MNPR-101 conjugated to therapeutic radioisotopes. Figure 2 below shows preclinical efficacy data in a triple negative breast cancer as well as a pancreatic cancer human tumor xenograft mouse model utilizing two different therapeutic radioisotopes conjugated to MNPR-101; one of these radioisotopes has already been disclosed as being actinium-225 (Ac-225). The results in both show near complete elimination of the tumor after a single injection of the radiopharmaceutical agent. These studies demonstrate the potential of a MNPR-101 based radiopharmaceutical to provide a very meaningful clinical benefit to patients. Anuncio • Feb 20
Monopar Receives Clearance to Proceed with First-In-Human Phase 1 Trial of Novel Radiopharmaceutical MNPR-101-Zr in Advanced Cancers Monopar Therapeutics Inc. announced it has received Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) clearance in Australia to commence a Phase 1 dosimetry trial of its novel radiopharmaceutical MNPR-101-Zr. The MNPR-101-Zr Phase 1 dosimetry clinical trial will enroll patients with advanced cancers and will utilize positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to assess tumor uptake, normal organ biodistribution, and safety. MNPR-101-Zr is a zirconium-89 (imaging radioisotope) labeled version of MNPR-101, Monopar’s proprietary first-in-class humanized monoclonal antibody that is highly selective against the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR). PET imaging studies in preclinical xenograft models of triple-negative breast, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers displayed high and selective uptake of MNPR-101-Zr in these uPAR-expressing tumors. The imaging results, along with corresponding in vivo efficacy studies with actinium-225 (Ac-225, a powerful alpha-emitting therapeutic radioisotope) bound to MNPR-101 in preclinical xenograft tumor models, support the development MNPR-101 as a targeted radiopharmaceutical for multiple advanced cancer indications. If the tumor uptake, biodistribution, and safety look encouraging in this Phase 1 clinical trial, which is anticipated to enroll around 12 patients and to initiate in the near future, the plan is to evaluate the efficacy in humans of a therapeutically radio-labeled version of MNPR-101 bound to an isotope such as Ac-225.

Monopar Therapeutics Inc. Provides Update on Camsirubicin Clinical Trial Monopar Therapeutics Inc. provided an update from its currently enrolling multi-center open-label Phase 1b clinical trial of camsirubicin in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (ASTS). Both patients treated to date at the 650 mg/m2 dose level have experienced tumor size reductions – of 18% and 20% respectively – after the first two cycles of camsirubicin treatment. Both patients are set to receive additional cycles of camsirubicin treatment, as well, which may result in further tumor size reduction. The Phase 1b clinical trial data is continuing to support Monopar’s dose-response hypothesis with camsirubicin. The best response seen prior to the current 650 mg/m2 dose level was at the immediately prior dose level (520 mg/m2), which was a 21% reduction in tumor size in a patient after receiving six cycles of camsirubicin treatment. This patient’s cancer was unresectable at study entry, but after the tumor size reduction, became eligible and the patient underwent successful surgical removal of their cancer with clear margins. Furthermore, all three patients at the 520 mg/m2 dose level achieved stable disease and had either a net reduction or no overall change in tumor size per RECIST 1.1 while on study drug. Additionally, no drugrelated cardiotoxicity has been observed in the trial to date as evaluated by the industry standard left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and no toxicities have been experienced by any patient that have required expanding the size of a dose cohort. Further, 71% of camsirubicin patients have experienced no hair loss, and only approximately 14% have experienced >50% hair loss, with the remainder having low grade hair loss. This compares favorably to the approximately 50% of doxorubicin treated patients in recent ASTS clinical trials reporting some amount of hair loss, with the majority of these patients experiencing >50% hair loss. Only 14% of camsirubicin patients in the Phase 1b trial have experienced mild-to-severe oral mucositis. This compares favorably to the roughly 35-40% of doxorubicin-treated patients in recent ASTS clinical trials that experienced mild-to-severe oral mucositis. ASTS is a deadly cancer with inadequate treatment options. Doxorubicin is currently the first-line standard of care treatment for most types of ASTS, and the average life expectancy from time of diagnosis for these patients is only about 12 to 15 months. Because of the risk of irreversible heart damage, patients discontinue doxorubicin treatment after just 6 to 8 cycles. Camsirubicin has been designed to retain the anti-cancer activity while avoiding the irreversible heart damage that is seen with doxorubicin. The value-driving hypothesis for camsirubicin is straightforward: modifying doxorubicin in order to reduce cardiac damage could enable higher and longer dosing, resulting in better efficacy and patient outcomes. The purpose of this dose escalation Phase 1b trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of camsirubicin. Once the MTD is reached, Monopar has a clinical collaboration agreement in place with the Spanish Sarcoma Group (Grupo Español de Investigación en Sarcomas, or GEIS) to conduct a multi-country randomized Phase 2 clinical trial. The Phase 2 plan is to evaluate camsirubicin head-to-head against doxorubicin in patients with ASTS, with GEIS as the study sponsor with support from Monopar. New Risk • Jul 26
New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: US$9.67m This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (US$9.67m market cap). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$13m net loss in 3 years).

Monopar Therapeutics Inc. Announces Encouraging Camsirubicin Phase 1b Trial Update Monopar Therapeutics Inc. announced an update from its currently enrolling multi-center open-label Phase 1b clinical trial of camsirubicin in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (ASTS). Background on ASTS and Camsirubicin ASTS is a diverse type of cancer that typically develops in the connective tissue of the body and which has metastasized (spread) or is not amenable to surgery. Currently, doxorubicin is the first-line standard of care treatment for most types of ASTS. Doxorubicin is one of the most widely used cancer drugs worldwide with FDA approval in ASTS and 13 additional cancer indications. Unfortunately, although higher doses of doxorubicin are known to be more effective at treating cancer, the risk of irreversible heart damage increases with the cumulative dose and limits the lifetime amount that a patient can receive. The hypothesis for camsirubicin is straightforward: modifying doxorubicin in order to reduce cardiac damage could enable higher and longer dosing, resulting in better efficacy and patient outcomes. Updates from Currently Enrolling Phase 1b Clinical Trial: One patieient at the 520 mg/m2 dose level, unresectable at study entry, was deemed eligible for tumor resection after several cycles of camsirubic in treatment and a corresponding 21% reduction in tumor dimensions. This patient recently underwent surgical resection of the cancer. This is supportive of doseSHY-response hypothesis with camsirubicin. Two patients are currently enrolled in the fifth dose-SHYlevel cohort (650 mg/m2), which is nearly 2.5x the dose evaluated in any prior camsirubicin clinical trial (265mg/m2). No drugSHY-related cardiotoxicity has been observed in this trial to-date as evaluated by the industry standard left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). As previously reported, this trial continues to show less frequent and less severe hair loss and oral mucositis with camsirubic in patients with ASTS, with GEIS as the study sponsor with support from Monopar.

Monopar Therapeutics Inc. Announces Camsirubicin Clinical Program Update - Improved Side Effect Profile Seen to Date Compared to Doxorubicin Monopar Therapeutics Inc. announced the following update on its currently enrolling open-label Phase 1b camsirubicin Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) trial in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (ASTS): Monopar has opened enrollment for the fifth dose level cohort, at an increased dose of 650 mg/m2, which is nearly 2.5x the highest dose evaluated in any prior camsirubicin clinical trial. To date, no drug-related cardiotoxicity has been observed with camsirubicin treatment as evaluated by the industry standard left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). This compares favorably to the well-documented dose-restricting cardiotoxicity experienced with doxorubicin treatment, the current first-line treatment for ASTS. Only 17% of camsirubicin patients in the trial have experienced low grade hair loss; another 8% have experienced >50% hair loss. This compares favorably to the approximately 50% of doxorubicin treated patients in recent ASTS clinical trials reporting some amount of hair loss, with the majority of these patients experiencing >50% hair loss. Only 8% of camsirubicin patients in the trial have experienced low grade mild oral mucositis. This compares favorably to the roughly 35-40% of doxorubicin treated patients in recent ASTS clinical trials that experienced mild-to-severe oral mucositis. In addition to the initial Sarcoma Oncology Research Center clinical trial site in Santa Monica, CA, Monopar recently welcomed a second clinical trial site with Dr. Lee Cranmer and the Sarcoma Clinic at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center/University of Washington in Seattle, WA.

Monopar Therapeutics Inc. Announces Successful Advancement of Camsirubicin Phase 1b Clinical Trial Past Fourth Cohort, Escalates Next to 650mg/m2 Monopar Therapeutics Inc. announced the positive recommendation from its safety review committee to advance to the fifth dose level (650 mg/m2) in its camsirubicin Phase 1b trial in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (ASTS). This decision was made following a review of safety data from the patients in the first four dose cohorts. Camsirubicin is a novel, proprietary analog of the widely used cancer drug doxorubicin. It has been previously investigated in ASTS patients in a Phase 1 and a single-arm Phase 2 clinical trial. In these studies, no camsirubicin-treated patients developed the irreversible cardiotoxicity common to doxorubicin at higher cumulative doses. The most frequent adverse event observed in the Phase 1 study was neutropenia, which was mitigated in the Phase 2 study using prophylactic G-CSF. Based on encouraging clinical results from prior clinical trials, the current Phase 1b trial is designed to test camsirubicin at progressively higher doses than previously administered while using concomitant prophylactic G-CSF to prevent neutropenia. Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a diverse type of cancer that typically develop in the connective tissue of the body. Board Change • Nov 16
