"We are pleased to report that the Annamycin trial in AML continues forward despite the disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic," commented Walter Klemp, Chairman and CEO of Moleculin. "Two additional hospitals in Poland, one in Szczecin and one in Kielce, have been moving quickly to participate in this trial. Assuming these requests are granted in a timely manner, we expect both sites to begin recruiting in the third quarter."

Moleculin currently has 5 clinical sites for the Annamycin AML clinical trial operating in Europe. The addition of sites in Szczecin and Kielce would bring this total to 7.
