Validive® Phase 2b/3 Clinical Trial on Track to Start Before Year-end
Issuance of New Patents For Validive
Camsirubicin Phase 2 Clinical Trial to Start Late 2020/Early 2021WILMETTE, Ill., Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Monopar Therapeutics Inc. (Monopar or the Company) (NASDAQ:MNPR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company primarily focused on developing proprietary therapeutics designed to extend life or improve the quality of life for cancer patients, today announced third quarter 2020 financial results and business update.
Third Quarter Business Update
Lead Product Candidate Validive
- Monopar's Phase 2b/3 clinical trial of Validive (clonidine HCl mucobuccal tablet) for the prevention of severe oral mucositis (SOM) in patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy for oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) is on track to commence before year-end. There currently is no FDA-approved prevention or treatment for radiation-induced SOM.
- The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office allowed patent claims for Monopar's lead product candidate, Validive, covering "Clonidine and/or clonidine derivatives for use in the prevention and/or treatment of adverse side effects of chemotherapy." The recently issued patents would provide protection should Monopar determine in the future to conduct additional Validive development and commercialization activities related to adverse side effects of chemotherapy beyond OPC.
Camsirubicin
- The Phase 2 clinical trial of camsirubicin is anticipated to begin at the end of 2020 or in early 2021. Monopar has partnered with Grupo Español de Investigación en Sarcomas (GEIS), which will lead the multi-country, randomized, open-label Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating camsirubicin head-to-head against standard-of-care doxorubicin in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (ASTS).
- The trial will begin with a dose escalation "run-in" prior to the randomization portion of the trial. The primary endpoint of the trial will be progression-free survival, with secondary endpoints including overall survival, response rate, and incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events.
MNPR-101
- Forward progress was made on the Monopar/NorthStar collaboration focused on developing a novel treatment for severe COVID-19 by partnering with 1) IsoTherapeutics Group, LLC to develop and manufacture radioimmunotherapeutics targeting uPAR (uPRITs), 2) Aragen Bioscience, Inc. to perform studies aimed at selecting a lead candidate uPRIT to advance into IND-enabling development, and 3) The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler and its Texas Lung Injury Institute (TLII) to perform in vitro and in vivo studies through the TLII and to participate in the clinical development of uPRITs.
Third Quarter Summary Financial Results
Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2019
Cash and Net Loss
Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020 were $18.0 million, which includes $6.7 million of net proceeds raised in the third quarter of 2020 under the Company's Capital on Demand® Sales Agreement with JonesTrading Institutional Services, at an average gross price per share of $9.66. Monopar anticipates that its current cash and cash equivalents will fund the Company's planned operations through 2021, including the initiation and completion of the Phase 2b portion of its Validive clinical trial and the initiation of the Phase 3 portion, the funding of the initiation of the GEIS Phase 2 camsirubicin clinical trial, and continuation of the development of the COVID-19 uPRIT program. The Company will need to raise funds or engage a partner to complete the Validive Phase 3 clinical trial. Net loss for the third quarter of 2020 was $1.6 million or $0.15 per share compared to net loss of $0.7 million or $0.08 per share for the third quarter of 2019.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses
R&D expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $1.2 million, compared to $0.2 million, for the third quarter of 2019. This increase of $1.0 million is primarily attributed to increases in expenses for the planning of the camsirubicin Phase 2 clinical trial and manufacturing expenses of $0.4 million, increases in the Validive clinical trial planning and manufacturing expenses of $0.3 million, and increases in R&D personnel salaries and benefits, including equity grants and salaries and benefits for three new R&D personnel of $0.3 million.
General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses
G&A expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $0.4 million, compared to $0.5 million, for the third quarter of 2019.

WILMETTE, Ill., Nov. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Monopar Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:MNPR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company primarily focused on developing proprietary therapeutics designed to extend life or improve the quality of life for cancer patients, today announced a series of recently issued patents for its Phase 2b/3 clinical-stage lead product candidate, Validive (clonidine HCl mucobuccal tablet). These patents, including U.S. Patent No. 10,675,271, provide claims covering "Clonidine and/or clonidine derivatives for use in the prevention and/or treatment of adverse side effects of chemotherapy".
"These recently issued patents broaden the patent protection for the use of Validive in cancer patients," said Andrew Mazar, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of Monopar. "Specifically, they provide protection into 2035 for the potential ability of Validive to prevent or treat common chemotherapy-associated side effects such as gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory disorders, fatigue and headache."
"According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 650,000 cancer patients receive chemotherapy each year in the U.S., and most of these experience side-effects as a result of their treatment," said Chandler Robinson, MD, Chief Executive Officer of Monopar. "These patents expand the potential use of Validive beyond the earlier allowed claims for the prevention of oral mucositis in patients receiving chemoradiotherapy. This in turn serves to advance Monopar's mission to develop treatments that improve quality of life in cancer patients undergoing treatment."
Monopar is currently developing Validive for the prevention of chemoradiation-induced severe oral mucositis in oropharyngeal cancer patients (OPC), an indication which currently has no FDA approved treatment. Monopar's Phase 2b/3 clinical trial in OPC patients is on track to start before year-end. The recently issued patents would provide protection should Monopar determine in the future to conduct additional Validive development activities related to adverse side effects of chemotherapy beyond OPC.About Monopar Therapeutics Inc.

WILMETTE, Ill., BELOIT, Wis. and TYLER, Texas, Sept. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Monopar Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:MNPR) and NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes, LLC, which are jointly developing urokinase plasminogen activator receptor targeted radio-immuno-therapeutics (uPRITs) for the potential treatment of patients with severe COVID-19, today announced a collaboration with The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler (UTHSCT) and its Texas Lung Injury Institute (TLII). UTHSCT is planning to perform in vitro and in vivo studies through the TLII and participate in the clinical development of uPRITs for the treatment of severe COVID-19 through its medical center.
The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler has taken a leading role in the fight against COVID-19. UTHSCT was recently awarded a $2 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to investigate the potential use of convalescent plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients to prevent worsening lung symptoms, or death, in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Enrollment for this study has already started. UTHSCT is also home to one of the leading laboratories in the world studying the role of urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) in acute lung injury and respiratory distress, led by renowned pulmonologist Steven Idell, MD, PhD.
"Given their expertise in uPAR, acute lung injury, as well as the treatment of COVID-19 patients, UTHSCT and Dr. Steven Idell are the ideal partners for the preclinical and clinical development of uPRITs for severe COVID-19," said Andrew Mazar, PhD, chief scientific officer of Monopar.
"Dr. Idell and UTHSCT have extensive experience with cell-based and animal models of respiratory distress, along with COVID-19 clinical trials. These resources and experiences should help accelerate the development of uPRITs," said James T. Harvey, PhD, senior vice president and chief science officer of NorthStar.
"We are excited to be working with Monopar and NorthStar on developing a uPRIT, an innovative and clinically promising treatment for severe COVID-19 patients," said Dr. Steven Idell, senior vice president for research and dean of the School of Medical Biological Sciences at UTHSCT.
The aim of this partnership is to evaluate uPRIT candidates in in vitro and in vivo models to facilitate the selection and IND-enabling development of a clinical candidate that could then move into first-in-human trials in patients with severe COVID-19 at UTHSCT.

WILMETTE, Ill. and BELOIT, Wis. and MORGAN HILL, Calif., Aug. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Monopar Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:MNPR) (Wilmette, IL) and NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes, LLC (Beloit, WI), who are collaborating on the development of urokinase plasminogen activator receptor targeted radio-immuno-therapeutics (uPRITs) for the potential treatment of patients with severe COVID-19, today announced a partnership with Aragen Bioscience, Inc. (Morgan Hill, CA), a leading contract research organization focused on accelerating preclinical biologics product development. Aragen will perform studies aimed at selecting a lead candidate uPRIT to advance into IND-enabling development for severe COVID-19.
"Aragen's expertise in this specific area of preclinical research should accelerate selection of a lead uPRIT based on the MNPR-101 antibody scaffold to advance toward the clinic," said Andrew Mazar, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of Monopar.
"We are pleased to partner with Aragen on this important phase of the uPRIT program," said James T. Harvey, PhD, Senior Vice President and Chief Science Officer of NorthStar. "Using rigorous criteria to select the uPRIT candidate to advance into IND-enabling studies is a crucial part of our COVID-19 program."
"uPRIT has great therapeutic potential for severe COVID-19 patients," said Axel Schleyer, PhD, MBA, Chief Executive Officer of Aragen. "We are excited to partner with Monopar and NorthStar on this important endeavor."
The aim of this partnership is to identify the uPRIT with the optimal urokinase plasminogen activator receptor binding profile, enabling selective delivery of a cytotoxic radioisotope to just those aberrantly activated immune cells that produce the "cytokine storm" that causes severe lung injury, multiple organ damage, and death in severe COVID-19 patients.
