Company Overview

Moleculin Biotech, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing treatments for cancers that are difficult to treat or have limited therapeutic options. The company’s research programs target cancer-cell survival mechanisms, drug resistance and tumor metabolism.

Moleculin’s lead product candidate is annamycin, a liposomal formulation of doxorubicin designed to retain anticancer activity while reducing the risk of cardiotoxicity associated with some conventional anthracyclines. The company has studied annamycin in investigational programs for acute myeloid leukemia and soft-tissue sarcoma. Annamycin remains an investigational therapy and is not approved for commercial use.

The company is also developing additional preclinical and clinical-stage candidates, including WP1066, which targets STAT3 and related signaling pathways, and WP1122, which is designed to interfere with glucose metabolism in cancer cells. Moleculin’s programs are being evaluated through research and clinical development activities in the United States and other regions. The company is headquartered in Houston, Texas, and is led by Walter Klemp, who serves as chairman and chief executive officer.
