November 03, 2025 01:00 ET  | Source: Molecular Partners ZURICH-SCHLIEREN, Switzerland and CONCORD, Mass., Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR Molecular Partners AG (SIX: MOLN; NASDAQ: MOLN), a clinical-stage biotech company developing a new class of custom-built protein drugs known as DARPin therapeutics (“Molecular Partners” or the “Company”), today announced it will present updated data from a Phase 1/2a trial of MP0533, a novel, multispecific T cell engager for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, in a poster at the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, taking place December 6-9, 2025, in Orlando, Florida, and online. The poster will outline latest results of this first-in-human, multicenter, open-label study evaluating MP0533 in relapsed/refractory AML and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/AML patients (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05673057). MP0533 shows an acceptable safety profile across DR 1–9. Based on initial data, densified MP0533 dosing as used in DR 8 and 9 appears tolerable, and preliminary antitumor activity signs are encouraging. The study is currently dosing patients in DR 10. MP0533 is a novel tetra-specific T cell-engaging DARPin, which simultaneously targets three tumor-associated antigens CD33, CD123 and CD70 on AML cells as well as the immune activator CD3 on T cells. AML cells commonly co-express at least two of the three target antigens, whereas most healthy cells only express one or none. MP0533 binds with increasing avidity as the number of its target antigens present increases, thereby preferentially binding to AML cells over healthy cells. This unique mode of action is designed to enable T cell-mediated killing of AML cells while preserving a therapeutic window that minimizes damage to healthy cells. Details of the presentation Title: Phase 1/2 study of MP0533, a tetra-specific T cell engager (CD33 x CD123 x CD70 x CD3), in patients with relapsed/refractory AML or MDS/AML: Initial results from optimized treatment regimen including densified MP0533 dosing and adapted premedication Session Name: 616. Acute Myeloid Leukemias: Investigational Drug and Cellular Therapies: Poster II Session Date: December 7, 2025 Presentation Time & Location: 6:00– 8:00 PM ET; OCCC, West Halls B3–B4 Publication Number: 3419The full abstracts will be available on the ASH website from 9:00 am ET on Monday November 3, 2025. About DARPin TherapeuticsDARPin (Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein) therapeutics are a new class of custom-built protein drugs based on natural binding proteins that open new dimensions of multi-functionality and multi-target specificity in drug design. The flexible architecture, intrinsic potential for high affinity and specificity, small size and high stability of DARPins offer benefits to drug design over other currently available protein-based therapeutics. DARPin candidates can be radically simple, with a single DARPin unit acting as the delivery vector to a specific target; or multispecific, with the possibility of engaging more than five targets, and combining multiple and conditional functionalities in a unique DARPin drug candidate. The DARPin platform is designed to be a rapid and cost-effective drug discovery engine, producing drug candidates with optimized properties and high production yields. DARPin therapeutics have been clinically validated across several therapeutic areas and developed through to the registrational stage. About Molecular Partners AG Molecular Partners AG (SIX: MOLN, NASDAQ: MOLN) is a clinical-stage biotech company pioneering the design and development of DARPin therapeutics for medical challenges other drug modalities cannot readily address. The Company has programs in various stages of pre-clinical and clinical development, with oncology as its main focus. Molecular Partners leverages the advantages of DARPins to provide unique solutions to patients through its proprietary programs as well as through partnerships with leading pharmaceutical companies. Molecular Partners was founded in 2004 and has offices in both Zurich, Switzerland and Concord, MA, USA.
