## Exhibit 99.1

Exhibit 99.1

**Monopar Presents New Analyses of Phase 3 FoCus Data at EAN 2026 Showing Greater Neurologic and Global Clinical Benefit with ALXN1840 Versus Standard of Care in Wilson Disease**

WILMETTE, Ill., June 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Monopar Therapeutics Inc. ("Monopar" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: MNPR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative treatments for patients with unmet medical needs, today announced that new analyses from the Phase 3 FoCus randomized controlled clinical trial of ALXN1840 (tiomolibdate choline, TMC) will be presented at the 12th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN 2026), June 27–30, 2026, in Geneva, Switzerland. These analyses build upon the previously reported Phase 3 FoCus results demonstrating ALXN1840 met its primary endpoint of superior copper mobilization versus standard of care.

In an encore poster presentation titled "Greater clinical benefit with tiomolibdate choline versus standard of care in neurologic Wilson disease patients in the Phase 3 FoCus Trial," Aurélia Poujois, MD, PhD, Department of Neurology, Adolphe de Rothschild Foundation Hospital, Paris, France, will present results showing that ALXN1840 produced significant neurologic improvement over time and greater global clinical improvement compared to standard-of-care (SoC) therapy in Wilson disease (WD) patients with neurologic symptoms at baseline. ALXN1840 also demonstrated similar or better outcomes compared to SoC across a range of psychiatric and hepatic measures during the 48-week study.

**Key findings presented at EAN 2026:**

In the subset of patients with neurologic symptoms at baseline from the 2:1 randomized Phase 3 FoCus clinical trial (NCT03403205; n=207), ALXN1840 demonstrated improved outcomes compared to SoC across multiple clinical measures:

● Neurologic improvement on the rater-blinded, physician-assessed Unified Wilson Disease Rating Scale (UWDRS) Part III was significant and continued over time with ALXN1840 (p=0.006) but not with SoC (p=0.435).

● Global clinical improvement as assessed by the Clinical Global Impressions – Improvement (CGI-I) scale at Week 48 was significantly greater with ALXN1840 than with SoC (p<0.001).

● A greater proportion of patients treated with ALXN1840 achieved improvement on the rater-blinded UWDRS Part III at Week 48 compared with SoC, with consistent results observed across multiple improvement thresholds.

● ALXN1840 also produced similar or greater improvement than SoC at Week 48 across psychiatric and hepatic measures.

Across Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, ALXN1840 has demonstrated a well-characterized and favorable safety profile in 266 patients, with a median treatment duration of 2.58 years and maximum exposure of more than 8 years. Drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs) occurred in 4.9% of patients, including neurologic SAEs in less than 1% and no treatment-related deaths.

"For Wilson disease patients with neurologic symptoms, meaningful improvement can be difficult to achieve with existing therapies, and some patients experience severe paradoxical worsening," said Dr. Poujois. "These new analyses from the Phase 3 FoCus trial are encouraging because they show that ALXN1840 treatment was associated with continued neurologic improvement over time and greater global clinical benefit compared with standard of care."

Exhibit 99.1

The poster is available on Monopar's website (<u>https://www.monopartx.com/pipeline/alxn1840/ean-poster-june-2026</u>).

These findings further support Monopar's planned New Drug Application (NDA) submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ALXN1840 in mid-2026.

**About Wilson Disease**

Wilson disease (WD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects approximately 1 in 30,000 people worldwide. It is caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, which impairs the body's ability to excrete copper. It is characterized by toxic accumulation of copper in the liver, brain, and other organs, leading to progressive and potentially fatal outcomes if untreated.

**About ALXN1840**

ALXN1840 (tiomolibdate choline, TMC) is a novel first-in-class albumin tripartite complex (ATC) activator under investigation for the treatment of Wilson disease. ALXN1840 rapidly mobilizes and tightly sequesters excess copper in ATCs, suppressing its redox reactivity, limiting oxidative damage, and blocking transport across the blood–brain barrier. Clinical data demonstrate that ALXN1840 improves copper balance by increasing fecal copper excretion. In the Phase 3 pivotal trial, ALXN1840 met the primary endpoint by demonstrating rapid and sustained copper mobilization significantly greater than standard of care over 48 weeks in both previously treated and untreated patients. Durable clinical improvement and a favorable safety and tolerability profile were observed across 645 patient-years of follow-up in 266 patients.

**About Monopar Therapeutics Inc.**

Monopar Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with late-stage ALXN1840 for Wilson disease, and radiopharmaceutical programs including MNPR-101-Zr (Phase 1) for imaging advanced cancers along with MNPR-101-Lu (Phase 1a) and MNPR-101-Ac (late preclinical) for the treatment of advanced cancers.
