Exhibit 99.1
Allarity Therapeutics Presents Two
AACR 2026 Posters Highlighting
Stenoparib’s Potential in Colorectal Cancer as well as New Predictive Data
Linking DRP®
and Overall Survival in Ovarian Cancer
- New AACR data
highlight stenoparib’s potential in colorectal cancer through WNT pathway modulation
- The Stenoparib-DRP® companion diagnostic is associated with enhanced overall survival in Ovarian Cancer patients
- Posters now available on Allarity’s website
TARPON SPRINGS, Fla., April 21, 2026 –
Allarity Therapeutics, Inc. (“Allarity” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ALLR), a Phase 2 clinical-stage pharmaceutical
company dedicated to developing stenoparib (2X-121)—a differentiated, dual PARP and WNT pathway inhibitor— today announced
that it has published two scientific posters being presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026,
held April 17–22 in San Diego, California. Both are now available in the Scientific Publications section of the Company’s
website.
The two posters highlight new data supporting
stenoparib’s differentiated mechanism of action as well as the Company’s proprietary Drug Response Predictor (DRP®) for
stenoparib as a companion diagnostic platform.
Poster presentations
Poster 1
Title: A Drug Response Predictor (DRP®)
is associated with enhanced overall survival in the phase 2 trial in advanced, recurrent ovarian cancer patients treated twice daily with
2X-121/stenoparib (NCT03878849)
Session Title: Biomarkers Predictive of Therapeutic
Benefit 3
Session Time: April 20, 2026, 9:00 AM –
12:00 PM
This poster highlights clinical data demonstrating
that the highest stenoparib DRP® scores are associated with enhanced overall survival in patients treated with stenoparib, reinforcing
the value of DRP-based patient selection in ring-fencing those patients most likely to benefit from stenoparib.

Poster 2
Title: 2X-121/stenoparib - a novel, dual inhibitor
of PARP and tankyrase in phase 2 clinical trials in advanced ovarian cancer - blocks the WNT signaling pathway and inhibits growth of
human colorectal cancer cell lines at clinically relevant drug concentrations
Session Title: Novel Antitumor Agents 2
Session Time: April 21, 2026, 9:00 AM –
12:00 PM
This poster presents new findings demonstrating
stenoparib’s unique mechanism of action to modulate the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway and to inhibit the growth of colorectal
cancer cell lines at clinically relevant concentrations. Colon and rectal cancers remain among the most prevalent and deadly cancers in
the United States, with a high number of both new cases and cancer-related deaths each year, according to the National Cancer Institute,
underscoring the significant unmet medical need in this indication.
Chief Executive Officer of Allarity Therapeutics,
Thomas Jensen, commented:
“These new data highlight the potential
for stenoparib in one of the largest areas of unmet need in oncology—colorectal cancer—where we believe stenoparib’s
unique mechanism of action could make it a highly relevant therapy for this patient population. Moreover, based on insights from our ongoing
stenoparib clinical development, we believe our DRP® platform may play an important role in identifying those patients most likely
to achieve the outcomes we ultimately seek in cancer therapy: enhanced and extended survival with a favorable tolerability profile. It
is difficult to overstate the importance of this, as extended survival- especially from an easy-to-take oral therapy without the typical
toxicities of chemotherapy- addresses the most critical considerations for both patients and oncologists when selecting a particular therapy.”
Both posters are available on the Company’s
website under the Scientific Publications section.

About Stenoparib/2X-121
Stenoparib is an orally available, small-molecule
dual-targeted inhibitor of PARP1/2 and tankyrase 1/2. At present, tankyrases are attracting significant attention as emerging therapeutic
targets for cancer, principally due to their role in regulating the WNT signaling pathway. Aberrant WNT/β-catenin signaling has been
implicated in the development and progression of numerous cancers. By inhibiting PARP and blocking WNT pathway activation, stenoparib’s
unique therapeutic action shows potential as a promising therapeutic for many cancer types, including ovarian cancer, Small Cell Lung
Cancer and colorectal cancer. Allarity has secured exclusive global rights for the development and commercialization of stenoparib, which
was originally developed by Eisai Co. Ltd. and was formerly known under the names E7449 and 2X-121. Allarity has two ongoing Phase 2 trial
protocols for stenoparib in Ovarian Cancer patients. In the first, patients who had had 2+ lines of therapy were enrolled on stenoparib
and given drug twice daily. This protocol has been closed to further enrollment but continues for the enrolled patients who are still
receiving benefit from stenoparib administration. The updated data from this study were presented at the AACR special conference on advances
in Ovarian Cancer in September 2025. Note that, as these data are from an ongoing trial, analyses may change as the study fully matures.
An amended protocol designed expressly to capitalize on the emerging clinical experience with stenoparib in platinum resistant patients
began enrolling patients in the summer of 2025. This amended protocol enrolls only platinum resistant or platinum-ineligible patients
and is designed to accelerate the clinical development of stenoparib toward FDA approval. In parallel, a separate Phase 2 trial evaluating
stenoparib in combination with temozolomide for relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC) began enrolling patients in early 2026 and is currently
enrolling patients across multiple U.S. Veterans Administration (VA) sites.
About the Drug Response Predictor – DRP®
Companion Diagnostic
Allarity uses its drug-specific DRP® to
select those patients who, by the gene expression signature of their cancer, may have a high likelihood of benefiting from a specific
drug. By screening patients before treatment, and only treating those patients with a sufficiently high, drug-specific DRP score, the
therapeutic benefit rate may be enhanced. The DRP method builds on the comparison of sensitive vs. resistant human cancer cell lines,
including transcriptomic information from cell lines, combined with clinical tumor biology filters and prior clinical trial outcomes.
DRP is based on messenger RNA expression profiles from patient biopsies. The DRP® platform has shown an ability to
provide a statistically significant prediction of the clinical outcome from drug treatment in cancer patients across dozens of clinical
studies (both retrospective and prospective). The DRP platform, which may be useful in all cancer types and is patented for dozens of
anti-cancer drugs, has been extensively published in the peer-reviewed literature.
