ANP Technologies, in Partnership with Fulgent Pharma, Teams with Moffitt Cancer Center to Develop a New Class of Leukemia Therapies
Newark, DE (Jan. 10, 2020 ) – ANP Technologies Inc. (ANP) and Fulgent Pharma LLC through their partner Moffitt Cancer Center have successfully licensed the rights to develop a novel targeted therapy in the area of leukemia to Celgene (CELG), now Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY), a landmark deal that leverages ANP’s nanotherapeutic platform technology. The partners will work together to develop a new cancer therapy for Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The potential new therapy will target a novel pathway receptor.
The Moffitt research team recently discovered that a specific pathway receptor is up-regulated in MDS and AML malignant cells, and in particular the malignant stem cells, thus offering a potentially favorable disease-specific target for therapies. By utilizing a ligand specific for this pathway receptor along with a covalently linked nanoparticle developed by ANP and licensed to Fulgent Pharma, the team was able to show potential for treating this type of leukemia at the stem cell level.
“Moffitt takes a team approach when it comes to cancer care and research. Our immunology and hematology teams worked together on this novel therapy. We are taking it to the next level, partnering with ANP/Fulgent Pharma to help accelerate translating this discovery from the laboratory to patients in need,” said Jarett Rieger, Sr. Director, Innovation & Industry Alliances of Moffitt.
“With our proprietary nano-delivery and nanotherapeutic technology platform, ANP has successfully developed multiple therapies including nanoencapsulated pactlitaxel, which is currently in clinical and licensed to Fulgent Pharma, as well as a nanoencapsulated antibody cocktail of drugs for the treatment of Ebola infection, which was funded for nonhuman primate testing by the US Department of Defense,” says Dr. Ray Yin, President and CEO of ANP. “The Moffitt collaboration expands our nanotechnology platform and spectrum of drug development, enabling ANP and Fulgent Pharma to develop new targeted therapies to benefit cancer patients.”

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted approval for ANP Technologies, Inc. and its partner to begin Phase I clinical trials with its first drug – nanoencapsulated paclitaxel.
Newark, DE (February 27, 2018 ) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted approval for ANP Technologies, Inc. and its partner to begin Phase I clinical trials with its first drug – nanoencapsulated paclitaxel. This new broad-spectrum cancer therapy is designed for intravenous (IV) delivery to combat several types of cancer, including breast, lung, ovarian, prostate, and others. Utilizing ANP’s patented nano-drug delivery platform, nanoencapsulated paclitaxel has performed exceptionally well in pre-clinical investigations, boasting similar or better efficacy over existing blockbuster treatment, such as Abraxane (Celgene). “Getting the FDA’s approval is an important validator for our platform drug delivery technology,” explains Dr. Ray Yin, president and CTO of ANP. “It paves the way for ANP to further develop and implement the platform technology in a variety of drug-related applications.”
ANP and its partners have several other drugs in their pipeline, including an antibody cocktail against the Ebola virus, targeted therapies to treat Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), as well as several other immune-oncology and mRNA-based vaccine therapies.
