Molecular Partners publishes Phase 1 MP0317 data in Nature Cancer demonstrating tumor-localized CD40 activation and tumor microenvironment remodelingZURICH-SCHLIEREN, Switzerland and CONCORD, Mass., May 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR Molecular Partners AG (SIX: MOLN; NASDAQ: MOLN), a clinical-stage biotech company developing a novel class of custom-built protein drugs known as DARPin therapeutics (“Molecular Partners” or the “Company”), today announced the publication of Phase 1 clinical data in Nature Cancer demonstrating the potential of the tumor-localized CD40 agonist, MP0317, to modulate the tumor microenvironment (TME). MP0317 is designed to activate immune cells specifically within the TME by anchoring to fibroblast activation protein (FAP), which is expressed in high amounts in the stroma of various solid tumors. This tumor-localized approach has the potential to deliver greater efficacy with fewer side effects compared to systemic CD40-targeting therapies.
