EMA Grants Orphan Drug Designation for Annamycin for AML
“We are pleased to receive Orphan Drug Designation from the EMA for Annamycin, which further supports our ongoing efforts to advance this compelling next-generation anthracycline for the treatment of hard-to-treat cancers,” commented Walter Klemp, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Moleculin. “Combined with the Orphan Drug Designation we already have in the US and with the new composition of matter patent just awarded by the US Patent and Trademark Office with coverage through 2040, we believe the commercial exclusivity of Annamycin is now very well protected. We continue to be encouraged by the growing body of promising interim clinical data demonstrated by Annamycin. We remain focused on advancing our clinical and regulatory strategies toward our next phase of development, including the planned commencement of a pivotal registration study as a 2nd line therapy in AML before year end.”
