"We are eager to share our important findings with regard to WP1066 and its effects on pancreatic cancer that include the ability to suppress activation of STAT3 in vitro and in vivo and simultaneously producing strong anticancer effects in this most deadly type of cancer," commented Dr. Waldemar Priebe, Chair of Moleculin’s Scientific Advisory Board. "In addition to pancreatic cancer, WP1066 appears to produce significant anticancer effects in animal models of other difficult to treat tumors, including brain cancers like glioblastoma. Moleculin has already announced an approved IND for brain tumors. We hope our continuation of the in vivo evaluation of WP1066 in different tumor models will provide a strong basis for the initiation of additional clinical trials in the future."
