Study Update summary
9 Jul, 2026Background on soft tissue sarcoma and current treatment landscape
Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a rare cancer, with about 13,000 new U.S. cases annually, often metastasizing to the lungs, leading to poor prognosis and limited treatment options.
First-line therapy is typically Doxorubicin-based, but response rates are low and toxicities, especially cardiotoxicity, are significant.
Second-line therapies are histology-driven with limited efficacy, and immunotherapies have not shown compelling results.
Median overall survival for metastatic STS is 12-18 months, with progression-free survival in first line usually 2-4 months.
Annamycin’s unique profile and rationale for MB-107 trial
Annamycin was designed to eliminate anthracycline cardiotoxicity and is formulated in multilamellar liposomes.
Demonstrated no drug-related cardiotoxicity even at doses up to five times the FDA anthracycline limit.
Animal studies show Annamycin concentrates in the lungs at 30 times the rate of Doxorubicin, supporting its use for lung metastases.
Lacks cross-resistance with Doxorubicin, making it suitable for patients previously treated with anthracyclines.
Annamycin is a next-generation anthracycline designed to avoid multidrug resistance and cardiotoxicity, targeting hard-to-treat cancers.
MB-107 phase 1B/2 trial design and patient population
Phase 1B established the recommended phase 2 dose at 330 mg/m²; phase 2 enrolled 17 more subjects for a total of 36 (32 evaluable).
Patients had unresectable lung metastases, progressive disease after prior therapy, and a median of six prior treatments.
Median overall survival for all subjects was 13.5 months, exceeding historical second-line monotherapy outcomes.
Final data from the U.S. Phase 1B/2 trial of Annamycin as monotherapy for STS lung metastases (MB-107) was discussed in a KOL webcast.
