About Moleculin Biotech, Inc.
Moleculin Biotech, Inc. is a Phase 3 clinical stage pharmaceutical company advancing a pipeline of therapeutic candidates addressing hard-to-treat tumors and viruses. The Company's lead program, Annamycin, is a next-generation highly efficacious and well tolerated anthracycline designed to avoid multidrug resistance mechanisms and to lack the cardiotoxicity common with currently prescribed anthracyclines. Annamycin is currently in development for the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and soft tissue sarcoma (STS) lung metastases.
The Company has begun the MIRACLE (Moleculin R/R AML AnnAraC Clinical Evaluation) Trial (MB-108), a pivotal, adaptive design Phase 3 trial evaluating Annamycin in combination with cytarabine, together referred to as AnnAraC, for the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. Following a successful Phase 1B/2 study (MB-106), with input from the FDA, the Company believes it has substantially de-risked the development pathway towards a potential approval for Annamycin for the treatment of AML. This study remains subject to appropriate future filings with potential additional feedback from the FDA and their foreign equivalents.Additionally, the Company is developing WP1066, an Immune/Transcription Modulator capable of inhibiting p-STAT3 and other oncogenic transcription factors while also stimulating a natural immune response, targeting brain tumors, pancreatic and other cancers. Moleculin is also engaged in the development of a portfolio of antimetabolites, including WP1122 for the potential treatment of pathogenic viruses, as well as certain cancer indications.

Firefly Aerospace reveals target pricing as proposed IPO and stock listing date nears
Firefly Aerospace, the first commercial company to successfully land on the moon, just announced the target per-share pricing for its proposed initial public offering (IPO). The real reason a staggering 40% of U.S. homeowners are mortgage-free 5 habits that are making you a worse leader Figma's IPO date is close. The stock could trade even higher after the design startup's latest move In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) today, the Texas-based company announced that it has applied to list its common stock on the Nasdaq exchange, with an offer of 16.2 million shares, each priced between $35 and $39 per share—a launch that could raise as much as $631.8 million for Firefly. The company plans to trade its stock under the ticker symbol 'FLY.' According to Firefly, net proceeds from the IPO would be used 'to repay outstanding borrowings under its credit agreement, pay any accrued and unpaid dividends on certain series of its preferred stock, and for general corporate purposes.' If the IPO is approved by the Nasdaq, it will be the latest in a series of tech-focused listings that have drawn renewed investor interest this year, a group that includes fintech company Chime, stablecoin issuer Circle, and digital health platform Hinge Health. Firefly has not disclosed a date for the listing, but said in a press release on Monday that it has launched its 'road show.' Fast Company has reached out for more information on the timing. What is Firefly Aerospace? Firefly Aerospace is a private company focusing on building small- to medium-lift launch vehicles, lunar landers, and orbital vehicles from its headquarters in Cedar Park, Texas. Its proposed IPO comes just months after the company landed on the moon for the first time through a partnership with NASA. The Blue Ghost Lunar Lander Mission 1, dubbed 'Ghost Rider in the Sky,' was a collaboration between Firefly and NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, which offers fixed contracts to commercial partners. In all, CLPS awarded Firefly $101 million to craft a four-legged lander that could deliver 10 NASA payloads (weighing 340 pounds) to the moon's surface. These payloads were designed to study topics like the behavior of lunar dust, the moon's internal structure, and the Earth's magnetosphere. The mission launched on January 15 and successfully touched down on March 2. 'It just shows that the private industry, the commercial world, has a lot of affordable, responsive technology and systems that could provide NASA a frequent means to go to the moon and carry out all these high-stakes critical-science missions for lower cost, as well as do it sustainably,' Firefly CEO Jason Kim told Fast Company in January. Currently, Firefly is gearing up to complete two more missions for NASA in 2026 and 2028. The company's success, alongside the growing prominence of other players like Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin, shows that private companies are becoming increasingly powerful in today's space race—a trend that may make FLY stock a valuable asset to potential future investors.

Sacramento's crude awakening
With help from Jennifer Yachnin, Alex Guillén and Francisco 'A.J.' Camacho BARRELS OF DEALS: California's heading into its third big legislative showdown on gas prices in as many years — except this time both the governor and lawmakers are talking about oil industry priorities instead of fighting them. Instead of targeting oil company profits or regulating their backup supply, Gov. Gavin Newsom is now proposing to ease permitting for more in-state drilling in Kern County — an idea that's gaining traction among lawmakers worried about the planned closures of two refineries that some experts estimate could drive gas prices up by as much as $1.21 per gallon by next August if nothing is done. His energy officials are also holding direct talks with market players to prevent the closures. It's all setting lawmakers up for a reckoning with their stance on oil when they return from summer recess Aug. 18 — and there are signs it may not be that big a political lift. The oil industry is entering the debate with fresh momentum, buoyed by a multimillion-dollar ad and mail campaign that has flooded gas stations, mailboxes and airwaves with warnings about shrinking in-state supply. Newsom's draft bill gives the industry a win on Kern County drilling, but also includes measures they're less likely to like: a fracking ban, a requirement for drillers to plug two wells for every new well they make, and new safety rules for offshore operations. The third piece echoes language in bills by Sen. Monique Limón and Assemblymember Gregg Hart that aim to slow or stop an effort by Texas-based Sable Offshore Corp. to restart an idle oil platform off the coast of Santa Barbara. The proposal came out shortly after the California Energy Commission recommended the measures and right as lawmakers headed off to their summer break — but the latter were already starting to shift in response to affordability complaints from voters. Sen. Henry Stern, one of the Legislature's biggest climate stalwarts, told Republican colleagues in an April legislative hearing he understood their long-standing arguments that California should extract more crude from Central Valley oilfields instead of importing it from countries with lower environmental and labor standards — a moment that representatives from both the oil industry and environmentalists continue to whisper about as illustrative of the shift. 'Call me born again, but I have seen the light on exactly what you're talking about,' Stern said. 'Kern County should be unleashed, and I'm there. … Don't send that to the White House, please.' Now, he sees the outlines of a broad deal emerging incorporating the reauthorization of California's landmark cap-and-trade program, which environmentalists and the oil industry are also fighting over whether and how to tighten. 'I do want to keep an aggressive approach on climate overall,' Stern said Tuesday. 'If you want to hang on to all that, it probably behooves you to try to get to yes or at least a begrudging acceptance of some sort around this current production piece.' The turnaround has left environmental groups divided. Katelyn Roedner Sutter, California director for the Environmental Defense Fund, said she supports Newsom's legislative push, saying she sees it as 'the governor being extremely pragmatic.' 'We need to focus on policy that's going to improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions,' she said. 'But we also need to focus on policy that is also going to help people's day-to-day lives in an affordable way.' Environmental justice groups are livid, going as far as leaking Newsom's draft bill language earlier this month. Katie Valenzuela, who represents EJ groups, said Newsom's legislation is like 'taking a machete to a rose bush.' But she's seeking to narrow the proposal, instead of outright saying 'no.' That's a break with other environmental groups, like the Center for Biological Diversity, who've long litigated to stop more oil drilling in Kern County — and reflects the prevailing winds in the Legislature in favor of boosting fuel supply. Bill Magavern, policy director at Coalition for Clean Air, said he's also anticipating the Legislature's extensive climate and energy to-do list — including proposals to reauthorize cap and trade, change California's gasoline blend and establish a West-wide power grid — to create a big ball of end-of-session wax. 'I think this is being set up for possibly a megadeal — not something that I'm hoping for, but that could easily happen,' he said. Did someone forward you this newsletter? Sign up here! WATER WRANGLING: Colorado's top negotiator in a dispute over the future of the West's most important water source is warning that officials need to send less water to California or risk being in perpetual crisis. Becky Mitchell, Colorado's Colorado River commissioner, said Monday that states in the river's lower basin — California, Arizona and Nevada — would receive too much water under a proposal known as 'natural flow', a concept based on how much water would travel downstream without dams or diversions or other human interventions, Jennifer Yachnin reports for POLITICO's E&E News. Those states and states in the upper basin — Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico — face a November deadline to reach a water sharing deal or have federal officials step in with their own plan. Multiple states have said talks are coalescing around the natural flow idea, but questions remain over how much the states could actually use, and how much would remain in reservoirs for storage and hydropower. Mitchell said the lower basin receives about 62 percent of the river's natural flow under current operating plans, a number she said is too high. 'It isn't about winning an argument or losing an argument, but it's about operating the [river] system in a way that we don't all lose the system and the benefits of the system,' she said. — AN, JY CLIMATE POLICY IN DANGER: The Trump administration is rolling back the federal government's scientific finding that greenhouse gas emissions are a threat to public health, a move that would undermine decades of EPA climate regulations and complicate state efforts to reduce carbon. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced Tuesday that the agency has submitted a proposal to repeal the endangerment finding, the 2009 study issued by the Obama administration that serves as the legal basis for most of EPA's climate rules, including limits on power plant and vehicle emissions, POLITICO's Alex Guillén reports. The announcement came as the EPA also proposed scrapping all limits on carbon dioxide pollution from cars and trucks. Newsom and Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, co-chairs of the U.S. Climate Alliance, blasted the move Tuesday, saying in a statement that Americans seeing the impacts of floods, extreme heat and wildfires 'won't be deceived by the Trump administration's reckless abandonment of science and the law.' But there's little that states can do to stop Trump's assault on the bedrock climate policy, as they're already reeling from the administration's attack on clean energy incentives and California's electric vehicle sales mandate. — AN, AG GOING NUCLEAR: A California startup is taking a moonshot approach as it attempts to build the first small modular nuclear reactor in the country. Kairos Power, based in the Bay Area, is building an experimental reactor in Tennessee that uses molten fluoride salt as a coolant, a technology that is so far commercially untested, Francisco 'A.J.' Camacho writes for POLITICO's E&E News. That's a risky move in an already uncertain market where advanced nuclear ventures have recently stumbled amid cost concerns, as our editor Debra Kahn recently wrote about. One of the company's test reactors, dubbed 'Hermes,' has already secured the first-ever construction permit for a Generation IV reactor from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and Kairos has poured the nation's first advanced nuclear concrete. Kairos has also won over some high-profile backers, signing an agreement with Google last year to power data centers. — AN, FC CC-CHANGES: We are thrilled to announce a new member of the California Climate team: Noah Baustin, our new energy and environment reporter. Noah comes to us from the San Francisco Standard, where he covered local government, transportation and public safety, among other areas, as a data reporter on the enterprise desk. He wowed us not only with his series of scoops uncovering municipal corruption — see his stories on a department head who directed city contracts to a man she lived with, bribery at the Department of Public Works and a classic case of familial ties at the Department of Building Inspection — but also with his intuitive grasp of POLITICO's singular blend of policy, politics and power. He's hitting the ground running — please join us in welcoming him and start sending tips to nbaustin@ — Bay Area Democratic Rep. Kevin Mullin and New York Republican Rep. Andrew Garbarino introduced a bill to map rising groundwater that threatens to worsen flooding across the country. — July is the worst month for overdose deaths in Los Angeles. UCLA researchers say extreme heat is likely to blame. — Tesla's original founder is dismayed that the company is focused on robotaxis and Cybertrucks instead of cheap EVs.
