Oncotelic and Sapu Nano to Present Deciparticle Nanomedicine Platform at BIO International Convention 2026

Oncotelic Therapeutics (OTCQB: OTLC) and Sapu Nano announced that CEO Vuong Trieu will present the Deciparticle nanomedicine platform at the BIO International Convention 2026 in San Diego, highlighting the development of ultra-small nanomedicine formulations designed to enable intravenous administration of highly water-insoluble therapeutics. The Deciparticle platform utilizes proprietary amphiphilic polymer systems capable of forming sub-20 nanometer particles for oncology and other therapeutic applications.

The companies plan to showcase development progress across multiple Deciparticle programs, including Sapu006, a polysorbate-free intravenous docetaxel formulation moving into Phase 1b clinical evaluation, and Sapu003, an intravenous everolimus nanomedicine program currently in a global Phase 1b clinical trial. The presentation will also highlight the integration of artificial intelligence and knowledge-organization technologies into formulation development and translational oncology workflows through the PDAOAI platform.

This announcement matters because it addresses a critical challenge in drug development: many potent therapeutics are highly water-insoluble, limiting their clinical use. The Deciparticle platform's ability to form particles smaller than 20 nanometers could unlock new delivery routes for existing and novel drugs, potentially improving therapeutic indices and patient outcomes. The advancement of two programs into Phase 1b trials demonstrates progress toward clinical validation.

Oncotelic Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on oncology and immunotherapy products. The company benefits from a robust portfolio of inventions created by its CEO, Dr. Vuong Trieu, who has filed over 500 patent applications and holds 75 issued patents. The company also leverages its proprietary AI-enabled PDAOAI platform, which supports research, biomarker discovery, and regulatory processes through advanced data analysis and knowledge integration.

Sapu Nano is a biotechnology company developing next-generation nanomedicine platforms to improve drug delivery, enhance therapeutic index, and unlock new clinical potential for established and novel therapeutics, with a primary focus in oncology. The partnership between Oncotelic and Sapu Nano combines expertise in formulation development and clinical translation.
