BAYONNE, N.J., Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BCB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), (NASDAQ: BCBP), the holding company for BCB Community Bank (the “Bank”), announced today that the Bank has entered into definitive agreements to sell several portfolios of certain problem loans, most of which are rated criticized or classified under the Bank’s internal risk rating system. Between September 21 and September 24, 2026, the Bank entered into definitive agreements with six different purchasers providing for the sale of loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $205.3 million as of June 30, 2026.

The portfolios being sold consist of commercial and multifamily real estate loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $180.7 million, commercial and industrial (C&I) loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $14.8 million, and construction loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $9.8 million, in each case, as of June 30, 2026. None of the Bank’s business express loans are included in the portfolios. The estimated pre-tax loss attributable to these loan sales is $43.3 million, which will be recorded in the third quarter of 2026.

Closing has occurred with respect to five of the six loan sale transactions, with the last transaction expected to close before the end of the third quarter of 2026. Each definitive agreement is independent of the others, and the closing of any one agreement was not conditioned on the closing of any other.

Hilltop Securities Inc. served as financial advisor and Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP served as legal counsel to the Bank in connection with the successful execution of these transactions.

Thomas M. O’Brien, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank, stated, “Since I joined the Company, we have moved quickly to reassess our credit risk ratings and take decisive action on our legacy credit challenges. We committed to aggressively address these issues and to put transparent, actionable solutions in place promptly, and the sale transactions we are announcing today, covering approximately $205 million in problem loans, reflect that commitment in practice. We believe these sales meaningfully de-risk our balance sheet and remove a significant source of uncertainty, allowing us to focus our energy on building a stronger, more sustainable, and profitable institution going forward.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This release, like many written and oral communications presented by BCB Bancorp, Inc., and our authorized officers, may contain certain forward-looking statements regarding our prospective performance and strategies within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of said safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies, and expectations of the Company, are generally identified by use of words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “seek,” “strive,” “try,” or future or conditional verbs such as “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or similar expressions. Our ability to predict results or the actual effects of our plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from anticipated results.

The most significant factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements include the global impact of the military conflicts in the Ukraine and the Middle East, the potential impact of any future Federal budget stalemate in Congress, global tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, higher inflation levels, and general economic concerns, all of which could impact economic growth and could cause increased loan delinquencies, a reduction in financial transactions and business activities, including decreased deposits and reduced loan originations. Other factors that could cause future results to vary materially from current management expectations as reflected in our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: our ability to manage liquidity and capital in a rapidly changing and unpredictable market, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages; unfavorable economic conditions in the United States generally and particularly in our primary market area; the Company’s ability to effectively attract and deploy deposits; changes in the Company’s corporate strategies, the composition of its assets, or the way in which it funds those assets; shifts in investor sentiment or behavior in the securities, capital, or other financial markets, including changes in market liquidity or volatility; the effects of declines in real estate values that may adversely impact the collateral underlying our loans; increase in unemployment levels and slowdowns in economic growth; our level of non-performing assets and the costs associated with resolving any problem loans including litigation and other costs; the impact of changes in interest rates and the credit quality and strength of underlying collateral and the effect of such changes on the market value of our loan and investment securities portfolios; the credit risk associated with our loan portfolio; changes in the quality and composition of the Bank’s loan and investment portfolios; changes in our ability to access cost-effective funding; deposit flows; legislative and regulatory changes, including increases in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance rates; monetary and fiscal policies of the federal and state governments; changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of federal, state and local tax authorities; demands for our loan products; demand for financial services; competition; changes in the securities or secondary mortgage markets; changes in management’s business strategies; changes in consumer spending; our ability to hire and retain key employees; the effects of any reputational, credit, interest rate, market, operational, legal, liquidity, or regulatory risk; expanding regulatory requirements which could adversely affect operating results; civil unrest in the communities that we serve; and other factors discussed elsewhere in this report, and in other reports we filed with the SEC, including under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2025, and our other periodic reports that we file with the SEC.

CALGARY, Alberta, Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Computer Modelling Group Ltd. (“CMG” or the “Company”) (TSX: CMG), today announced that it has taken up and paid for 4,444,444 of its common shares (“Shares”) at a price of C$4.50 per Share (the “Purchase Price”) under CMG’s substantial issuer bid (the “SIB”) to repurchase for cancellation a number of its Shares for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed C$20 million.

Final Results of SIB

The Shares purchased under the SIB represent an aggregate purchase price of approximately C$19,999,998 and approximately 5.7% of the total number of CMG’s issued and outstanding Shares as of September 21, 2026. After giving effect to the SIB, CMG will have approximately 73.6 million Shares issued and outstanding.

Based on the final calculations of Olympia Trust Company (the “Depositary”) as depositary for the SIB, a total of 4,657,844 Shares were tendered to the SIB pursuant to auction tenders and purchase price tenders, of which 3,933,679 Shares were taken up and purchased. Since the SIB was oversubscribed, shareholders who made auction tenders at or below the Purchase Price and shareholders who made, or were deemed to have made, purchase price tenders had approximately 84% of their successfully tendered Shares purchased by CMG (other than “odd lot” tenders, which were not subject to proration). In addition, 8,966,715 Shares were tendered pursuant to proportionate tenders, of which 510,765 Shares were taken up and purchased.

Payment and settlement of the purchased Shares will be effected by the Depositary on or about September 30, 2026 in accordance with the SIB and applicable law. Any Shares not purchased, including Shares invalidly tendered, will be returned to shareholders promptly by the Depositary.

The full details of the SIB are described in the offer to purchase and issuer bid circular dated August 14, 2026, as well as the related letter of transmittal and notice of guaranteed delivery, copies of which were filed and are available under our profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

To assist shareholders in determining the tax consequences of the SIB, CMG estimates that for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), the paid-up capital per Share is approximately C$1.025. Given that the Purchase Price exceeds the paid-up capital per Share, shareholders who have sold Shares to CMG under the SIB will be deemed to have received a taxable dividend as a result of such sale for Canadian federal income tax purposes equal to the amount by which the Purchase Price exceeds the paid-up capital per Share. The dividend deemed to have been paid by CMG to Canadian resident persons is designated as an “eligible dividend” for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any corresponding provincial and territorial tax legislation.

The “specified amount” for purposes of subsection 191(4) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) is C$3.89, being the closing trading price for the Shares on the TSX on September 21, 2026.

Shareholders should consult with their own tax and other advisors with respect to the income tax consequences of the disposition of their Shares under the SIB.

This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell Shares.

ATHENS, Greece, Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rubico Inc. (Nasdaq: RUBI) (“Rubico,” or the “Company”), a global provider of shipping transportation services specializing in the ownership of vessels, announces that, in relation to the previously announced stock dividend of 0.50 common shares for each common share outstanding (the “Stock Dividend”), the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) has determined that the ex-dividend date will be October 6, 2026. The Stock Dividend will be distributed on or about October 5, 2026 (the “Distribution Date”) to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 28, 2026. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Stock Dividend; any fractional shares resulting from the Stock Dividend will be paid in cash based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares on Nasdaq on September 28, 2026.

As a result of “due bill” trading procedures expected to be established by Nasdaq, Rubico common shares are expected to trade with due bills from September 28, 2026 through and including the Distribution Date. Accordingly, holders of Rubico common shares as of September 28, 2026 will need to hold such shares through and including the Distribution Date in order to receive the Stock Dividend.

This would mean that holders who purchase Rubico common shares during the due bill period (even if the trades are to be settled after the due bill period) will be entitled to receive the Stock Dividend with respect to those shares. Conversely, sellers who sell Rubico common shares during the due bill period (even if the trades are to be settled after the due bill period) will not be entitled to the Stock Dividend with respect to those shares.

Due bills obligate a seller of securities to deliver the distribution payable on such securities to the buyer. The due bill obligations are customarily settled between the brokers representing buyers and sellers of the securities. The Company has no obligation for either the amount of the due bill or the processing of the due bill. Buyers and sellers of Rubico’s common shares should consult their brokers before trading to ensure they understand the effect of Nasdaq’s due bill procedures.

About the Company

Rubico Inc. is a global provider of shipping transportation services specializing in the ownership of vessels. The Company is an international owner and operator of two modern, fuel efficient, eco 157,000 dwt Suezmax tankers. Furthermore, the Company owns two 47,499 dwt MR tanker newbuildings scheduled for delivery in the third and fourth quarters of 2029 and a 60-meter newbuilding megayacht scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2027, which the Company intends to divest. In addition, the Company has entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire a shipowning company that owns one high-specification 47,499 dwt MR tanker newbuilding scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2029, with closing of this share purchase agreement to occur by September 30, 2026.

PASCAGOULA, Miss., Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HII (NYSE: HII) welcomed members of the National Commission on the Future of the Navy (FNC) to its Ingalls Shipbuilding division Thursday as part of the commission’s nationwide review to develop recommendations for strengthening American seapower.

The visit provided commission members with a firsthand look at the shipbuilding capabilities, workforce training and industrial investments that support the Navy’s future fleet requirements. As part of its comprehensive study of naval strategy, resources, force structure and the industrial base, the commission is assessing the nation’s shipbuilding capacity and long-term production needs.

“A strong Navy relies on a capable and resilient industrial base,” Commissioner Mitch Waldman said. “We are grateful for the opportunity to see firsthand the significant industrial capacity and workforce capability that Ingalls Shipbuilding provides as the commission continues to assess the nation’s ability to design, build and sustain the future Navy.”

During the visit, commission members toured key production and training areas, including the Flight III Arleigh Burke-class destroyer Jeremiah Denton (DDG 129), the Virtual Reality Welding Lab and the Maritime Training Academy. The tour highlighted the pace and scale of Ingalls’ operations, as well as major infrastructure investments designed to support increased throughput across the U.S. maritime industrial base.

“Ingalls shipbuilders bring unmatched skill and dedication to every ship we build, and it was a privilege to show the commission how their work in the shipyard directly supports the fleet,” said Eric Crooker, Ingalls vice president of program management. “With more than 87 years of experience building ships for the U.S. Navy, and over a dozen ships in active construction, our team’s dedication and upcoming ship deliveries demonstrate the strength of our workforce and the capability we provide to the nation.”

With 13 ships in construction and three deliveries planned in the next year, Ingalls Shipbuilding offers a firsthand view of the production capacity and workforce capabilities central to meeting future fleet requirements. The shipyard’s recent progress through its distributed shipbuilding program further illustrates its role in the broader maritime industrial base.

Congress established the FNC to provide an independent review of naval force structure, shipbuilding performance and industrial-base requirements. Public hearings began in March 2026, with initial findings expected in January 2027.

As America’s largest shipbuilder, HII supports national defense by building and maintaining the Navy and Marine Corps ships that underpin U.S. seapower. Through investments in advanced digital and automated production technologies, workforce development and industrial-base capacity, HII works to support the readiness and sustainment of the nation’s fleet.

 PRESS RELEASE
Nantes, September 25th, 2026

H1 2026 Results: Continued cost discipline and balance sheet  restoration amidst a persistently challenging top-line environment 

Reminder: since July 2026, the Group has been operating with a strengthened balance sheet following the refinancing agreement reached with its main stakeholders. Full details are available in the press release dated July 31, 2026. 

Net sales reached €412.8m, down 7.1% vs LY (-5.8% LfL) in a subdued market

 €15m gross savings achieved

Working Capital improvement

  • Net Sales reached €412.8m, down 7.1% YoY (-5.8% on a LfL basis):
    • Performance contracted further in Q2 (-9.8%) compared to Q1 (-4.5%), impacted by constrained inventory levels and a deliberate scale-back of promotional activities 
    • The store network keeps proving resilience at -3.0% LfL. Southern Europe remained almost flat (-1.0% LfL), while France declined by -4.0% LfL, in line with market trends (IPEA) while Online experienced a steeper decline (-11.8%)
  • Profitability & Cost Savings:
    • Current EBIT stood at -€36.8m (vs. -€22.0m in H1 2025).
    • Gross Margin to 61.9% reflects promotional support in Q1 
    • €15m gross cost savings achieved partially offset lower volumes, driven by major efforts in logistics and transportation
  • Cash Flow & Balance Sheet:
    • Free Cash Flow improved to -€49.8m (vs. -€64.9m in H1 2025), reflecting EBIT contraction offset by net working capital improvement driven by lower inventory 

François-Melchior de Polignac, CEO of Maisons du Monde, commented: “In the first half of 2026, we operated in a challenging market environment while managing constrained inventory levels. Faced with these headwinds, we remained intensely focused on our priorities: cost reduction, cash preservation, and maintaining customer satisfaction.

Following the refinancing completed in July, we now operate with a lighter and secured balance sheet. With the backing of our new majority shareholders, we have the financial stability and operational support required to execute our turnaround and build a profitable, sustainable model for the long term.”

(1) The difference in amount with the cost of sales in the consolidated income statements corresponds to the net operating expenses of the factory and the container traction company.

Gross margin rate decreased by 240 basis points to 61.9% compared to H1 2025. This contraction was primarily driven by higher promotional activity in Q1 and a challenging comparison base due to a non-recurring favorable item in H1 2025. During Q2, we took the deliberate decision to reduce promotional intensity. 

Operating costs totaled €228 million, down 4.8% year-on-year. This reduction reflects the tangible benefits of the €15 million gross cost-saving plan (which also impacted the cost of goods sold). These gains were partially offset by temporary inflationary pressures, notably on fuel, and transformation costs linked to ongoing IT investments.

Current EBITDA stood at €27 million, down from €46 million in H1 2025.

D&A decreased slightly, reflecting gradual Capex diminution and was also driven by the closure of 2 stores during the half-year.

Current EBIT stood at -€37 million (vs. -€22 million in H1 2025), reflecting top-line pressure and gross margin compression.

Net loss for the period stood at -€64.0 million, compared to -€75.6 million in H1 2025. Main drivers included:

  • €10.1 million in other operating expenses, covering store closure costs and restructuring expenses.
  • A net financial result of -€14.8 million, showing an increased charge compared to H1 2025 due to a higher cost of debt.
  • An income tax expense close to nil.

In July 2026, the Group successfully reached an agreement with its key stakeholders, including the French State, Banking partners, and Investors to execute a comprehensive debt refinancing. On a restated basis, this agreement significantly de-leverages the Group, bringing Net Financial Debt down to €24.6 million as of June 30, 2026, and restoring a healthy balance sheet structure. 

The guarantees related to the New Financing provided by the Consortium and the Participating Banks are currently being put in place. As a reminder, these guarantees consist of:

  • A security and management trust (fiducie sûreté et gestion) or a pledge over the Group’s strategic assets (including 100% of the shares in Maisons du Monde France held by the Company and 100% of the shares in the Group’s main operating subsidiaries, all intellectual property rights of Maisons du Monde France (including the trademark), all merchandise inventory belonging to Maisons du Monde France, intercompany receivables held by the Company and Maisons du Monde France, and the bank accounts of the Company and Maisons du Monde France);
  • A joint and several guarantee from the Company covering all obligations of Maisons du Monde France under the new financing.

In this transition context, the Group is not providing financial guidance.

The Company’s Board of Directors consists of seven members, including three independent directors (John Browett, Cécile Cloarec, and Laure Hauseux, the latter possessing specific financial and accounting expertise). The other directors, in addition to Alteri Investors and Eicos Investment Group, are François-Melchior de Polignac (Chief Executive Officer) and Stéphane Boussard (employee representative director). 

Regarding its corporate governance code, Maisons du Monde previously applied the AFEP-MEDEF Code. At its meeting on September 25, the Board of Directors decided that the Group will now adhere to the MiddleNext “Corporate Governance Code for Small and Mid-Caps”. The Board considers this code more suited to the company’s size and specific characteristics, notably given the presence of a reference shareholder now holding nearly 95% of the Company’s share capital as well as the reduction of the number of Board members.

The Board of Directors meeting on 25 September also decided that the Board of Directors would from now on perform the duties assigned to the audit committee, pursuant to Article L. 821-68 4° of the French Commercial Code. 

The statutory auditors expect to issue an unqualified limited review report on the Group’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2026, including an emphasis-of-matter paragraph regarding the uncertainty related to the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Data presented at the AACR Conference on Pancreatic Cancer indicate Annamycin’s antitumor activity is partially mediated by CD8+ T cells, supporting a potential immune-mediated mechanism alongside its direct cytotoxic activity

HOUSTON, Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Moleculin Biotech, Inc. (Nasdaq: MBRX) (“Moleculin” or the “Company”) today announced new preclinical data indicating that the antitumor activity of its lead drug candidate, Annamycin (naxtarubicin), in pancreatic cancer is partially mediated by CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity. The findings are being presented at the AACR Conference on Pancreatic Cancer: New Frontiers in Biology and Therapeutic Development, held September 25–28, 2026 in San Diego, California.

In preclinical models of pancreatic cancer, Annamycin’s antitumor activity appears to depend in part on CD8+ T cells, the immune system’s primary tumor-killing cells. The finding suggests Annamycin may do more than kill cancer cells directly; it may also expose tumors that are typically considered immunologically “cold” to immune attack.

Pancreatic cancer is among the most treatment-resistant solid tumors, and its characteristically “cold” immune microenvironment is one reason checkpoint inhibitors have shown limited single-agent activity in the disease. Preclinical evidence that Annamycin’s activity is partly immune-mediated points to a potential basis for combination approaches, and complements the immune-modulating mechanism of the Company’s WP1066 program.

Title: “Turning cold pancreatic tumors hot: Antitumor activity of Annamycin is partially mediated by CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity”
Author/Presenter: Angela T. Alistar, MD, Morristown Medical Center, Atlantic Health System / Carol G. Simon Cancer Center
Congress: AACR Conference on Pancreatic Cancer: New Frontiers in Biology and Therapeutic Development
Dates: September 25–28, 2026
Location: Hilton San Diego Bayfront, San Diego, California

These findings were generated in preclinical models. Preclinical results may not be predictive of results in humans, and Annamycin is not currently in clinical development for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

The abstract for this presentation was published today as a supplement to the September 15, 2026 issue of Cancer Research.

“Annamycin represents a fundamental re-engineering of the anthracycline, one designed to increase efficacy and avoid multidrug resistance and the cardiotoxicity of currently prescribed agents,” said Walter Klemp, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Moleculin. “These data point to an unexpected additional benefit. In preclinical models of pancreatic cancer, Annamycin’s antitumor activity appears to depend in part on the immune system. If that observation holds, it broadens both where Annamycin might be useful and how it might be combined.”

Annamycin’s lead clinical program remains the ongoing MIRACLE trial evaluating AnnAraC in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is the Company’s primary development focus and the basis of its near-term milestones. The pancreatic cancer findings described above are preclinical and are not part of the MIRACLE trial.

About Moleculin Biotech, Inc.

Moleculin Biotech, Inc. is a Phase 2/3 clinical stage pharmaceutical company advancing a pipeline of therapeutic candidates addressing hard-to-treat tumors and viruses. The Company’s lead program, Annamycin (also known as naxtarubicin), is a 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, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 trial evaluating Annamycin in combination with cytarabine, together referred to as AnnAraC (the combination of Annamycin and cytarabine, also referred to as “Ara-C”) 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 also has in its pipeline a portfolio of antimetabolites, including WP1122 for the potential treatment of pathogenic viruses, as well as certain cancer indications.

  • SLS009 increased apoptosis more than six-fold versus daraxonrasib in a MYC-amplified, daraxonrasib-resistant patient-derived pancreatic cancer organoid model – 
  • Combination of SLS009 and daraxonrasib further increased apoptosis to 36.5% and necrosis to 30.6%, supporting evaluation of CDK9 inhibition as a potential strategy to enhance RAS-directed therapy –
  • SLS009 combined with BET inhibition demonstrated synergistic activity and sustained suppression of MYC, providing additional evidence of SLS009 activity against MYC-driven pancreatic cancer biology –

NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SELLAS Life Sciences Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLS) (“SELLAS’’ or the “Company”), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapies for a broad range of cancer indications, today announced preclinical data from studies evaluating SLS009 (tambiciclib), its highly selective cyclin-dependent kinases 9 (CDK9) inhibitor, in patient-derived organoid models of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The data are being presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Conference on Pancreatic Cancer: New Frontiers in Biology and Therapeutic Development, being held September 25–28, 2026, in San Diego. The timing of this announcement reflects AACR’s embargo policy, under which the data presented at the conference were restricted from publication until 1:00 p.m. ET today.

The studies, conducted in collaboration with researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, evaluated SLS009 in MYC-amplified PDAC models, including a model resistant to the recently approved RAS inhibitor daraxonrasib (RMC-6236), as well as in combination with the BET inhibitor ZEN3694. MYC amplification is a biologically recognized mechanism of RAS targeting resistance.

“These findings provide encouraging preclinical evidence that CDK9 inhibition may enhance the activity of RAS-directed therapy in pancreatic cancer, including in the setting of MYC-associated resistance,” said Dragan Cicic, MD, Senior Vice President, Clinical Development of SELLAS. “In a daraxonrasib-resistant patient-derived model, SLS009 demonstrated substantially greater activity than daraxonrasib alone and further increased apoptosis and necrosis when the two agents were combined. Together with the synergistic activity observed with BET inhibition, these data support a broader strategy of using SLS009 to disrupt transcriptional programs that may contribute to resistance to RAS-targeted therapies and provide a strong rationale for further evaluation in pancreatic cancer patients.”

In a MYC-amplified, daraxonrasib-resistant patient-derived PDAC organoid model, SLS009 at 200 nM, daraxonrasib at 100 nM, and the combination of both agents were evaluated. Daraxonrasib was administered continuously, while SLS009 was removed after 24 hours to approximate its in vivo pharmacokinetic profile, with apoptosis and necrosis assessed at 72 hours.

A separate MYC-amplified patient-derived PDAC organoid model evaluated SLS009 in combination with the BET inhibitor ZEN3694. The combination demonstrated synergistic activity, including increased cancer cell death and sustained suppression of MYC transcription. Notably, these effects were observed at a ZEN3694 concentration substantially below reported physiologically achievable exposure levels.

Key findings:

  • SLS009 demonstrated substantially greater single-agent activity than daraxonrasib in the daraxonrasib-resistant model, inducing 17.9% apoptosis versus 2.8% with daraxonrasib and 14.5% necrosis versus 2.7%.
  • The combination of SLS009 and daraxonrasib further increased cancer cell death, inducing 36.5% apoptosis and 30.6% necrosis, compared with 17.9% and 14.5%, respectively, with SLS009 alone and 2.8% and 2.7%, respectively, with daraxonrasib monotherapy.
  • SLS009 combined with ZEN3694 demonstrated synergistic activity, producing greater apoptosis and necrosis than either agent alone.
  • The SLS009/ZEN3694 combination produced sustained suppression of MYC RNA and reduced expression of MYC and MCL-1 proteins, consistent with disruption of transcriptional pathways supporting tumor cell survival.

Together, the findings support further investigation of CDK9 inhibition as a strategy to enhance RAS-directed therapy and potentially address MYC-associated resistance in pancreatic cancer. The BET combination data provide additional mechanistic support for SLS009-based approaches designed to disrupt MYC-dependent transcriptional programs and suggest the potential to enhance BET inhibition at lower drug exposures.

“MYC is a particularly challenging oncogenic driver because it has historically been difficult to target directly,” said Jeremy D. Kratz, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine and Principal Investigator at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. “Across these studies, CDK9 inhibition produced substantial activity in MYC-amplified pancreatic cancer models through two distinct therapeutic strategies. The activity of SLS009 supports its activity in a model with de novo daraxonrasib-resistance and together with the synergistic transcriptional suppression observed with BET inhibition, provides a strong rationale for further investigation of SLS009-based combinations in molecularly defined subsets of pancreatic cancer.”
