Dr. Trieu has filed more than 500 patents and holds 75 issued patents spanning biologics, small molecules, nanoparticles, and diagnostics, establishing a robust intellectual property foundation for the company's development efforts.
The CEO's career achievements include co-inventing and developing Abraxane (nab-paclitaxel), which was acquired by Celgene in a $2.9 billion transaction, and later selling Cynviloq (nanoparticle paclitaxel) to NantPharma in a $1.3 billion deal. These successful transactions demonstrate the commercial viability and significant market potential of the technologies developed under Dr. Trieu's leadership, providing validation for Oncotelic's current research direction.
Oncotelic's mission focuses on addressing high-unmet-need cancers and rare pediatric indications with innovative, late-stage therapeutic candidates. The company benefits from Dr. Trieu's extensive patent portfolio, which includes over 150 patent applications and 39 issued U.S. patents specifically contributing to the company's development pipeline. This intellectual property advantage positions Oncotelic competitively in the oncology and immunotherapy sectors.
