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.
