Sept. 14, 2025 -- Monopar Therapeutics Inc. (“Monopar” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MNPR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative treatments for patients with unmet medical needs, today announced that new data on the long-term neurological efficacy and safety of its investigational therapy ALXN1840 (tiomolybdate choline) for Wilson disease will be presented at the 150th American Neurological Association (ANA) Annual Meeting on September 14-15, 2025. The poster and oral presentations will be delivered by Matthew Lorincz, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Neurology and Co-Director of the Wilson Disease Center of Excellence at the University of Michigan. Monopar’s poster presentation is available at the following link: https://www.monopartx.com/ALXN1840-ANA-2025-Poster-14-Sep-2025. The oral presentation will be made available online at www.monopartx.com concurrently with Dr. Lorincz’s presentation on September 15, 2025. The analysis pooled efficacy outcomes from three independent clinical trials (n=255), while safety data included a fourth independent clinical trial (n=266). Median treatment duration with ALXN1840 was approximately 2.6 years for both the efficacy and safety analyses. The new data presented at ANA highlight the long-term neurological benefit of ALXN1840, and follow the recent presentation of long-term hepatic and systemic efficacy and safety data at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) International Liver Congress 2025. Together, these findings underscore the potential of ALXN1840 for both the neurological and hepatic manifestations of Wilson disease. Sustained Neurological Improvement: Statistically significant neurologic improvement from baseline on the Unified Wilson Disease Rating Scale (“UWDRS”) Part II (patient-reported symptoms) and Part III (clinician-reported symptoms) was sustained over 6 years. Crossover Benefit: Patients who crossed over from standard of care (“SoC”) to ALXN1840 showed additional neurological improvement, including a majority of patients who had worsened on SoC demonstrating a reversal on ALXN1840. Psychiatric Outcomes: Statistically significant psychiatric improvement from baseline was sustained over multiple years, as measured by the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (“BPRS”). Consistency Across Trials: Neurological benefit was observed consistently across multiple independent studies. Favorable Safety Profile: Across more than 645 patient-years on ALXN1840, less than 1% of patients experienced a drug-related neurological serious adverse event (“SAE”). “These results are very encouraging for Wilson disease patients, including for those already on standard of care treatment,” said Dr. Matthew Lorincz. Monopar Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with late-stage ALXN1840 for Wilson disease, and radiopharmaceutical programs including Phase 1-stage MNPR-101-Zr for imaging advanced cancers, and Phase 1a-stage MNPR-101-Lu and late preclinical-stage MNPR-101-Ac225 for the treatment of advanced cancers.
