Oncotelic is led by one of the most renowned scientists in America, a pioneer in immuno-oncology, a man with 39 Patents to his name and over 100 Patent Applications Pending – Dr. Vuong Trieu.
Dr. Vuong was a joint patent holder who helped develop the block-buster billion dollar drug Abraxane™ – now owned by Bristol-Myers Squibb, NYSE: BMY, a $144 billion dollar company.
Dr. Vuong has put together a team of highly distinguished scientists and researchers, and a superb management team with years of proven marketing, brand building and scaling experience – a team that has turned startups into multi-billion dollar enterprises.
Oncotelic Developing Distinct Drugs Targeting Several Extremely Brutal Diseases (Each of them has the potential to be a block buster) let’s focus on one for now.
Primary Focus:
The one we are most excited about for the time being (without diminishing the importance of the other drugs that are in various stages of development) is a potential therapy that could increase the efficacy of an existing FDA approved drug (by as much as 100%) a drug that has generated over $17 billion in revenue last year alone and expected to hit $20 billion in 2025. The name of the drug is Keytruda owned by Merck.
Keytruda meet > OT-101
What Dr. Vuong and his excellent team did here is absolutely breathtaking! Dr. Vuong likes Keytruda, it’s great and it’s helping a lot of folks but it could do more, a whole lot more! When you combine the existing drug (Keytruda) with Dr. Vuong’s breakthrough discovery (after the FDA approval) the initial indications are that the rate of efficacy of Keytruda can increase by up to 100%!
Dr. Vuong’s newly discovered – inhibitor blocker eliminator – when given to patients along with Keytruda, the patients who are currently not benefiting can benefit! Imagine the relief combo-therapy can bring to the patients and their families around the world, right now, a lot of patients who can not benefit from Keytruda alone – can soon benefit from the combination therapy which Dr. Vuong has discovered!
Dr. Voung’s discovery is one of the most brilliant things I’ve ever seen – let me recap – A highly successful FDA approved Block Buster Drug that’s on the market today, whose efficacy can jump as much as 100% from where it is now – That’s what motivates me and the team at Oncotelic, a lot of patients and their families are needlessly suffering now!
As an investor you obviously look at the size of addressable market and that’s what motivates investors, right? As I’ve mentioned Keytruda has made $17 billion for Merck last year – if Dr. Vuong’s invention/discovery helps increase the efficacy rate of Keytruda even by only 50%, you do the math! We are talking about an opportunity worth billions! Think about it.
