The BioMedWire Podcast delivers dynamic interviews with industry experts at the forefront of pharmaceutical and biotech advancement. The latest episode features Dr. Vuong Trieu, Chairman and CEO of Oncotelic Therapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: OTLC), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing transformative oncology and immunotherapy treatments. To begin the interview, Dr. Trieu provided an overview of the company’s mission and therapeutic scope. “Oncotelic is a clinical-stage biotechnology company. We’re developing drugs to treat cancer and other rare diseases such as Parkinson’s and sexual dysfunction,” he said. “The team has been around for about 25 years. We originally developed Abraxane and, later, Cynviloq, and now we’re working on a lot of exciting drugs around oncology.” He then discussed how Oncotelic’s development approach sets the company apart in the biotech space. “What we have at Oncotelic is a really deep knowledge of the tumor microenvironment, as well as the regulatory pathway that we develop for each one of the drugs. When we take on an asset, we can easily build IP around it and protect it. Then, we push it out through a regulatory pathway that has the shortest timeline and highest chance of approval. That really differentiates us from everyone else.” Looking ahead, Dr. Trieu outlined the key inflection points investors should watch. “Our investors should be really looking forward to a lot of announcements from us in the next 12 months or so, both from the clinical side… as well as regulatory milestones such as IND approval, expansion into other indications, and partnership announcements… The team has been really focusing on operational execution—getting these drugs moving through clinical development, into trials, and toward approval.” Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher for a conversation with Dr. Vuong Trieu, Chairman and CEO of Oncotelic Therapeutics, to learn more about the company’s differentiated clinical pipeline and forward-looking development strategy.
