Panbela Therapeutics Announces Third Independent Safety Review of Phase 3 ASPIRE Clinical Trial DSMB Recommended Continuation with No Trial Modification Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. announced that the independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) has completed its third pre-specified safety review of the ongoing Phase 3 ASPIRE clinical trial evaluating ivospemin in combination with gemcitabine and nab-Paclitaxel for the first-line treatment of metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). The DSMB recommended study continuation without modification, marking the third consecutive positive safety review. The safety database now includes 395 patients, compared to 214 patients on November 29, 2023. Key Takeaways: The DSMB's recommendation to proceed without modification affirms support for ivospemin’s safety profile. The safety database has expanded to 395 patients, providing a robust foundation for evaluating ivospemin's safety. The lower-than-expected event rate suggests the potential for prolonged survival among ASPIRE trial participants. Rapid enrollment positions Panbela to remain on path to complete enrollment in First Quarter 2025, earlier than initially anticipated. Panbela also highlighted the significance of the ASPIRE trial in the context of recent advancements in mPDAC treatment, such as the Napoli 3 trial, which led to the approval of liposomal irinotecan (Onivyde) in combination with fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and leucovorin (NALIRIFOX). Despite this approval, which was based on a median overall survival benefit of 1.9 months compared to gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel, the prognosis for patients with mPDAC remains poor, with median overall survival still less than 12 months. The incremental benefits in median survival have been modest in the past 11 years, with the recent approval of Onivyde in the NALIRIFOX regimen demonstrating a 1.9-month survival benefit compared to the approval of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel, which was based on a median overall survival benefit of 1.8 months over gemcitabine alone. Panbela remains committed to advancing the ASPIRE trial and evaluating ivospemin's potential to improve outcomes for patients with mPDAC. Despite recent advancements in treatment, the median overall survival for patients with mPDAC remains less than 12 months. The company looks forward to the interim survival analysis in early 2025, which will provide important insights into ivospemin's potential to address this significant unmet medical need.

Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. Announces Interim Data Analysis for its Ongoing ASPIRE Trial Pushed to First Quarter of 2025 Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. announced that the interim data analysis for its ongoing ASPIRE trial is now expected to be available as soon as first quarter of 2025. This delay in the projected date for analysis comes as a result of the trial's current event rate, which is lower than initially anticipated, indicating that patients have lived longer than expected. The ASPIRE trial, which is evaluating the efficacy and safety of Panbela's lead product candidate, ivospemin (SBP-101), in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC), requires 33% of the total expected events to occur before the interim analysis can be conducted. As of the latest assessment, less than half of the required events for the interim analysis have occurred. Panbela also highlighted the significance of the ASPIRE trial in the context of recent advancements in mPDAC treatment, such as the Napoli 3 trial, which led to the approval of liposomal irinotecan (Onivyde) in combination with fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and leucovorin (NALIRIFOX). Despite this approval, which was based on a median overall survival benefit of 1.9 months compared to gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel, the prognosis for patients with mPDAC remains poor, with median overall survival still less than 12 months. The incremental benefits in median survival have been modest in the past 11 years with the recent approval of Onivyde in the NALIRIFOX regimen demonstrating a 1.9 month survival benefit compared to the approval of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel which was based on a median overall survival benefit of 1.8 months over gemcitabine alone. Panbela will continue to monitor the progress of the ASPIRE trial and provide updates as appropriate. Aankondiging • Apr 20
Panbela Announces Poster Presentation At American Association for Cancer Research Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. announces a poster presentation highlighting the results for ivospemin (SBP-101) as a polyamine metabolism modulator in ovarian cancer at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), which took place April 10, 2024. The work reflects the Company’s on-going collaboration with Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The poster highlights the efficacy of SBP-101 in combination with doxorubicin which is used to treat platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Treatment with doxorubicin significantly increases the in vitro toxicity of SBP-101 in both cisplatin-sensitive and cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cell lines. SBP-101 and doxorubicin cooperatively increase polyamine catabolism and decrease overall cell survival in vitro. Utilizing the immunocompetent VDID8+ murine ovarian cancer model (ID8+ C57Bl/6 ovarian cells overexpressing both VEGF and Defensin), the combination of SBP-101 and doxorubicin was evaluated significantly increased median mouse survival time. Cotreatment also results in delayed ascites formation and decreased overall tumor burden. The combination treatment cooperatively decreases overall ascitic polyamine content.Immunodeficient NSG mice injected with VDID8+ ovarian cancer cells do not receive a survival benefit from ivospemin, doxorubicin, or a combination treatment, indicating that an intact immune system is required for the efficacy of this therapy. The poster concludes that the treatment of C57Bl/6 mice containing VDID8+ ovarian cancer with SBP-101 in combination with doxorubicin significantly prolonged survival and decreased overall tumor burden. Future studies will be designed to evaluate the effects of SBP-101 in combination with other polyamine metabolism modulators as well as with immune modulators. Aankondiging • Feb 02

Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. Exceeds 50% Enrollment for Aspire Trial in Pancreatic Cancer, Exceeding Anticipated Timelines with Accelerated Momentum Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. announced it has reached 50% enrollment for its ASPIRE global clinical trial in the first-line treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer. ASPIRE is a global randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate ivospemin in combination with gemcitabine and nab-Paclitaxel in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Panbela is committed to delivering a more effective treatment for pancreatic cancer, a deadly disease with few treatment options. The pipeline consists of assets currently in clinical trials with an initial focus on familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), first-line metastatic pancreatic cancer, neoadjuvant pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer prevention and ovarian cancer. The combined development programs have a steady cadence of anticipated catalysts with programs ranging from pre-clinical to registration studies.Ivospemin is a proprietary polyamine analogue designed to induce polyamine metabolic inhibition (PMI) by exploiting an observed high affinity of the compound for pancreatic ductal adenac and other tumors. It has shown signals of tumor growth inhibition in clinical studies of metastatic pancreatic cancer patients, demonstrating a median overall survival (OS) of 14.6 months and an objective response rate (ORR) of 48%, both exceeding what is typical for the standard of care of gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel suggesting potential complementary activity with the existing FDA-approved standard chemotherapy regimen. In data evaluated from clinical studies to date, ivospemin has not shown exacerbation of bone marrow suppression and peripheral neuropathy, which can be chemotherapy-related adverse events. Serious visual adverse events have been evaluated and patients with a history of retinopathy or at risk of retinal detachment will be excluded from future SBP-101 studies. The safety data and PMI profile observed in the previous Panbela-sponsored clinical trials provide support for continued evaluation of ivospemin in the ASPIRE trial. Flynpovi is a combination of CPP-1X (eflornithine) and sulindac with a dual mechanism inhibiting polyamine synthesis and increasing polyamine export and catabolism. In a Phase III clinical trial in patients with sporadic large bowel polyps, the combination prevented > 90% subsequent pre-cancerous sporadic adenomas versus placebo. Focusing on FAP patients with lower gastrointestinal tract anatomy in the recent Phase III trial comparing Flynpovi to single agent eflornithine and single agent sulindac, FAP patients with lower GI anatomy (patients with an intact colon, retained rectum or surgical pouch), showed statistically significant benefit compared to both single agents (p=0.02) in delaying surgical events in the lower GI for up to four years. The safety profile for Flynpovi did not significantly differ from the single agents and supports the continued evaluation of Flynpovi for FAP. CPP-1X (eflornithine) is being developed as a single agent tablet or high dose powder sachet for several indications including prevention of gastric cancer, treatment of neuroblastoma and recent onset Type 1 diabetes. Preclinical studies as well as Phase I or Phase II investigator-initiated trials suggest that CPP-1X treatment may be well-tolerated and has potential activity. Aankondiging • Jan 25
Panbela Therapeutics Receives Notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Regarding Listing Rule 5550(a)(4) On January 22, 2024, Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. (the ‘Company’) received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the ‘Staff’) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (‘Nasdaq’) indicating that, as of effective date of the previously reported 1-for-20 reverse stock split on January 18, 2024, the Company was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(4) (the ‘Minimum Float Requirement’), which requires a minimum of 500,000 publicly held shares. The Staff informed the Company that this matter serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s common stock and that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel will consider this matter in rendering a determination regarding the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. As previously reported, the Company has requested and has been granted a hearing to present its plan to regain compliance with the bid price of $1.00 per share requirement as outlined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the ‘Minimum Bid Price Requirement’) and the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b) (the ‘Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement’). Any delisting of the Company’s common stock has been stayed pending the conclusion of the hearing process. Consequently, the Company’s common stock is expected to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market at least until the panel renders a decision following the hearing. There can be no assurance that the panel will grant the Company’s appeal for continued listing. If the Company is unable to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, or the Minimum Float Requirement, then it is likely that its common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company intends to continue to take all reasonable measures available to regain compliance under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and continues to evaluate various alternative courses of action to regain compliance with the Rules. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s continued listing requirements or regain compliance with the Rules.

Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. Announces Publication of Clinical Data Titled: Phase 1 Study of High-Dose DFMO, Celecoxib, Cyclophosphamide and Topotecan for Patients with Relapsed Neuroblastoma Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. announces the publication of clinical data from studies of CPP-1X (also known as a-Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) or Eflornithine) in neuroblastoma. According to Hogarty et al, children with relapsed refractory neuroblastoma have dismal outcomes and new therapeutic options are needed. Data published in the British Journal of Cancer investigated the tolerability and activity of depleting polyamines by high dose CPP-1X and celecoxib in combination with standard of care chemotherapy in heavily pretreated neuroblastoma patients. Results showed that DFMO treatment was well tolerated, and the median time-to-progression was 19.8 months. From the Phase 1 dose range finding study of CPP-1X in heavily pretreated neuroblastoma patients, CPP-1X was well tolerated. The best overall response included 2 partial responses (PR), 4 minor responses (MR), 10 Stable disease (SD), 7 progressive disease (PD) and 1 unevaluable. All patients with an overall response of PR or MR sustained this response until stopping or completing protocol therapy. The overall objective response rate (CR+PR) was 9% and rate of any response (CR+PR+MR) was 26%. At 2 years, PFS (progression free survival) for the entire cohort was 29.5%. Notably, three patients completed protocol therapy and remain without disease progression or event at >4 years from treatment end in the absence of additional therapy. These results build upon the recent FDA approval of CPP-1X or DFMO to reduce the risk of relapse in adult and pediatric patients with high-risk neuroblastoma (HRNB) who have demonstrated at least a partial response to prior multiagent, multimodality therapy including anti-GD2 immunotherapy. Results from these studies suggest that CPP-1X is a safe, oral treatment option that may improve response rates in heavily pretreated relapsed refractory neuroblastoma patients and are the basis for the ongoing ANBL-1821 Phase 2 trial.

New major risk - Negative shareholders equity The company has negative equity. Total equity: -US$2.5m This is considered a major risk. Being in negative equity means that the company's liabilities exceed its assets, meaning it owes more to creditors than it has in owned assets. While this doesn't mean the company is about to collapse, in the long-term, this is unsustainable. The company may have issues meeting financial obligations, is at risk of becoming insolvent and may have difficulty raising capital, especially more debt, if needed. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$27m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change). Negative equity (-US$2.5m). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (over 110x increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (US$1.72m market cap). Minor Risk Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$42m net loss in 3 years). Aankondiging • Nov 04
Panbela Announces Publication of Preclinical and Clinical Data Titled: Inhibition of Polyamine Biosynthesis Preserves B Cell Function in Type 1 Diabetes Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. announced the publication of preclinical and clinical data from studies of CPP-1X (also known as a-Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) or Eflornithine) in recent onset type 1 diabetes (T1D). According to Sims et al, although therapy of T1D has improved, the morbidity, mortality and cost continue to impact the quality of life for those affected highlighting the need for safe and effective therapies that address the underlying pathology. Data published in the journal Cell Reports Medicine investigated the mechanism of polyamines and polyamine inhibition by CPP-1X on ß cell stress that plays a role in the onset of type 1 diabetes in vitro and ex vivo models. Results showed that DFMO treatment may preserve ß cell function, reflected by C-peptide levels in patients with T1D through the modulation of urinary polyamines, in particular putrescine. The work reflects the Company’s ongoing collaboration with Indiana University School of Medicine. The research is part of a multi-site clinical trial led by Indiana University (IU) School of Medicine, supported by funding from JDRF, the leading global T1D research and advocacy organization. The preclinical data were generated by Raghavendra Mirmira's laboratory at the University of Chicago. Panbela Therapeutics is providing the drug at no cost to researchers and was not involved in the design and analysis of these studies. From the Phase 1 dose range finding study of CPP-1X in patients with recent onset T1D, CPP-1X was well tolerated and a dose dependent inhibition of ODC was observed. An exploratory secondary analysis showed that at the two highest dose levels, treatment with CPP-1X stabilized C-peptide areas under the curve compared to placebo. When assessing immune cell populations, there were no differences between the placebo and CPP-1X patients. Results from these studies suggest that CPP-1X is a safe, oral treatment option that may improve ß cell function and/or survival in recent onset T1D. New Risk • Nov 03
New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 10% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$22m free cash flow). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.4% per year for the foreseeable future. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (over 126x increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (US$2.36m market cap).

The work reflects the company's on-going collaboration with researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and will become part of the permanent ASH and Blood abstracts archive. New Risk • Aug 13
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.7% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$22m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (23% average weekly change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.7% per year for the foreseeable future. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (over 65x increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (US$1.85m market cap).

Panbela Presents Clinical Data on Phase 1B Clinical Trial of Sbp-101 in Combination with Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel in Patients with Metastatic Pda At 2022 Asco Gi Meeting Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. announced the presentation of interim clinical data from its Phase 1b combination therapy study of SBP-101, a proprietary polyamine analogue, with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Gastrointestinal (GI) Meeting that took place January 20-22, 2022. At the Phase 1b dose and schedule (N=30), CA19-9 levels decreased 60-99% in 70% of evaluable patients, with 1/29 (3%) achieving a complete remission, 13/29 evaluable patients achieving partial responses (45%) and 10/29 achieving stable disease at 8 weeks (34%). PFS was 6.0 months. While PFS may be confounded by SBP-101 dosing holds implemented to investigate potential toxicity, the rates for 6-month PFS was 52% and for 12 month PFS was 10%. Nine subjects are in survival follow up as of the date the poster was presented at the ASCO GI meeting. Median OS is 12.0 months and is not final. The safety population includes all subjects who received at least one dose of SBP-101 (N=50). The most common Grade =3 adverse events (AEs) related to any study medication were neutropenia in 20 subjects (19 attributed to G+A and 1 attributed to all 3) and elevated liver function tests in 14 subjects (5 attributed to SBP-101 and 9 attributed to all 3). SBP-101-related increases in LFTs were asymptomatic in all but 2 subjects and reversed in all subjects when SBP-101 administration was interrupted and dose-reduced or discontinued. Additionally, seven subjects experienced serious vision adverse events (4 possibly related to SBP-101, 1 related to gemcitabine and 2 related to all 3 based on PI assessment). All were considered by the sponsor to be possibly related to SBP-101; 5 had findings consistent with retinopathy. The company has just begun a randomized trial to study SBP-101, as an addition to first-line treatment for metastatic PDA, will begin a neoadjuvant pancreatic trial this quarter and will begin an Ovarian Cancer program mid-year. SBP-101 is a proprietary polyamine analogue designed to induce polyamine metabolic inhibition (PMI) by exploiting an observed high affinity of the compound for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and other tumors. The molecule has shown potential signals of tumor growth inhibition in clinical studies of US and Australian metastatic pancreatic cancer patients, suggesting potential complementary activity with an existing FDA-approved standard chemotherapy regimen, if SPB-101 receives approval in the US. In data evaluated from clinical studies to date, SBP-101 has not shown exacerbation of bone marrow suppression and peripheral neuropathy, which can be chemotherapy-related adverse events. Serious visual adverse events observed in the Company’s recently completed Phase 1a/1b clinical trial have been evaluated and patients with a history of retinopathy or at risk of retinal detachment will be excluded from future SBP-101 studies. The safety data and PMI profile observed in the current Panbela sponsored clinical trial provides support for continued evaluation of SBP-101 in a randomized clinical trial. Aankondiging • Dec 15
Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. Announces Positive Preclinical Data Strongly Supporting the Activity of SBP-101 in Ovarian Cancer Cell Lines Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. announced positive preclinical data supporting the activity of SBP-101 in ovarian cancer cell lines. Panbela expects to launch a development effort for SBP-101 in ovarian cancer in the first half of 2022 and will host a virtual R&D day to discuss the new ovarian cancer program early in the new year. As stated by the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), ovarian cancer represents a significant unmet need in gynecological cancers, with the absence of well-defined screening programs and inconsistent initial symptoms leading to late diagnosis in most patients. Considered largely incurable, ovarian cancer typically relapses within 3 years in 80% of women, with subsequent recurrences arising sooner each time as resistance to chemotherapy develops.

Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. Presents Clinical Data on Phase 1b Clinical Trial of SBP-101 in Combination with Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel in Patients with Metastatic PDA at 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. announced the presentation of interim clinical data from its Phase 1b combination therapy study of SBP-101, a proprietary polyamine analogue, with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (G+A) in patients with metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDA), at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting taking place June 4-8, 2021. In the response-evaluable subjects in cohort 4 + Phase 1b (N=29), 11 had treatment with SBP-101 interrupted to evaluate retinal toxicity; this may impact final efficacy results. In cohort 2 (N=7) the objective response rate (ORR) was 71%, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 100% by RECIST criteria (stable disease (SD) or better for = 16 weeks). Median progression free survival (PFS) in cohort 2 was 5.63 months and median overall survival (OS) was 10.3 months compared with ORR of 48%, DCR of 70%, PFS of 5.2 months and median OS, not yet reached, in cohort 4 + 1b. SBP-101 was well-tolerated when administered at doses and schedules tested in combination with G+A in subjects with previously untreated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The most common Grade =3 adverse events (AEs) related to any study medication were neutropenia in 20 subjects (19 attributed to G+A and 1 attributed to all 3) and elevated liver function tests in 15 subjects (5 attributed to SBP-101 and 10 attributed to all 3). SBP-101-related increases in LFTs were asymptomatic in all but 2 subjects and reversed in all subjects when SBP-101 administration was interrupted and dose-reduced or discontinued. Additionally, six subjects experienced serious vision adverse events (3 possibly related to SBP-101, 1 related to gemcitabine and 2 related to all 3 based on PI assessment). All were considered by the sponsor to be possibly related to SBP-101; 5 had findings consistent with retinopathy. All future studies will exclude patients with a history of retinopathy or at risk of retinal detachment and scheduled ophthalmologic monitoring for all patients. Additionally, in future dose-finding studies screening for retinal toxicity will be included. The company continues to plan for the initiation of a randomized trial to study SBP-101, as an addition to first-line treatment for metastatic PDA, in the middle of this year and releasing preclinical data across tumors outside of pancreatic cancer by year-end.
