Management highlights

Segment performance
No traditional product segment financial performance reported; focus on drug candidates Annamycin and WP1066 with ongoing clinical trials and development activities.
Guidance
• Need to raise ~$15 million to support operations into third quarter 2026 and get to initial 45-subject data readout. • Expect to announce final data from MB-107 clinical trial in coming weeks. • Anticipate initial 45-patient unblinding by end of 2025.
Risks
• Delays in GLP preclinical data for EU Part B of MIRACLE trial. • Uncertainties in formulation development for WP1066. • Dependencies on regulatory approvals and clinical trial results.
Q&A highlights
Q: Statement about results submitted as substantial modification to EMA, impact on EU vs US timeline?
A: We don't think it will change the timeline significantly. EMA requested GLP preclinical data, but trial can continue recruiting in US and non-EU sites; while timing of GLP studies could affect, we expect it won't alter approval timeline drastically.
Q: How close is Emory to optimal formulation for WP1066?
A: We think we're beyond the discovery stage and implementing a strategy for IV delivery. Expect progress by end of 2025, but development can have speed bumps.
Q: Primary endpoint 35-day CR rate, need for durability data?
A: Durability is a secondary endpoint; primary is 35-day complete remission rate. FDA focuses on CR rate, which we expect to be strong. Durability is a trend, not a primary approval factor.
Q: Impact of age, genetic mutations on data announcement?
A: We will stratify by age and mutations, but primary endpoint isn't dependent on them. We include all patients regardless of age, genetic mutations, or prior therapies like venetoclax failures.
