The latest update is out from Molecular Partners ( (MOLN) ).

On January 11, 2026, Molecular Partners reported broad clinical and pipeline progress ahead of its presentation at the 44th J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, underscoring its push to establish leadership in targeted radiotherapeutics and novel immune-oncology modalities. The company has initiated a Phase 1/2a U.S. trial of its lead Radio-DARPin MP0712 for small cell lung cancer and other neuroendocrine tumors, with first patient dosing expected in the first quarter of 2026 and initial data due later in the year, supported by encouraging compassionate-use imaging data to be shown at the Theranostics World Congress 2026. Its second radiotherapy program, MP0726 for mesothelin-positive cancers including ovarian cancer, continues to advance alongside four additional radio-oncology projects, guided by a new scientific advisory board of nuclear medicine experts. Beyond radiotherapy, a Phase 2 investigator-initiated trial of tumor-localized CD40 agonist MP0317 in cholangiocarcinoma has begun treating patients in early 2026, and the Phase 1/2a study of tetra-specific T cell engager MP0533 in relapsed/refractory AML is ongoing with densified dosing showing tolerability and early antitumor signals as of data presented in December 2025. Molecular Partners also plans to nominate its first Switch-DARPin candidate, a logic-gated T cell engager for solid tumors, in the first half of 2026. Financially, the company reported unaudited cash and cash equivalents of CHF 93.1 million as of December 31, 2025, which management believes will fund operations into 2028, providing a multi-year runway to execute its 2026 clinical and strategic milestones, with full 2025 results scheduled for March 12, 2026.

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, MOLN is a Neutral.

The overall stock score of 51 reflects significant financial challenges, including declining revenue and negative profitability margins, which are partially offset by positive technical indicators suggesting short-term bullish momentum.
