CEO INTERVIEW: From Abraxane to What's Next: Dr. Vuong Trieu on Building Multi-Billion Dollar Biotech Value


Listen Later

Essential listening for biotech investors: Host Carmel Fisher interviews Dr. Vuong Trieu, Chairman and CEO of Oncotelic Therapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: OTLC), who has a proven track record of generating multi-billion dollar returns in biotech.

Investment Thesis: Dr. Trieu previously delivered $2.9 billion (Abraxane®/Celgene) and $1.3 billion (Cynviloq™/NantPharma) exits.

His 500+ filed patents and 75 issued patents now anchor Oncotelic's competitive moat—a rare combination of proven value creation and late-stage asset positioning that most biotechs lack.

Key Investment Differentiators:

  • Late-stage pipeline risk mitigation: Multiple assets approaching commercialization vs. typical early-stage biotech burn rates
  • IP fortress strategy: Deep tumor microenvironment expertise creates defensible competitive barriers
  • Accelerated regulatory pathways: Proprietary approach delivers "shortest timeline, highest chance of approval"
  • Portfolio diversification: Oncology, rare diseases, and pediatric programs targeting multi-billion dollar addressable markets

Near-term Catalysts (Next 12 Months): Dr. Trieu confirms: "Our investors should be really looking forward to a lot of announcements... both from the clinical side as well as regulatory milestones such as IND approval, expansion into other indications, and partnership announcements."

Investment Opportunity: Unlike speculative biotech plays, Oncotelic combines validated leadership with late-stage assets and multiple value inflection points. Dr. Trieu explains how 25 years of operational execution experience translates into superior capital efficiency and reduced development risk.
