About FID-007
FID-007 consists of paclitaxel encapsulated in a
polyethyloxazoline (PEOX) polymer excipient designed to enhance PK,
biodistribution, and tolerability. In addition to allowing the drug
to remain in solution until it can enter a cancer cell, the PEOX
nanoparticle is designed to preferentially deliver paclitaxel to
the tumor through the leaky hyperpermeable vasculature.
About Fulgent Pharma
Fulgent Pharma began as part of Fulgent LLC in Temple City,
California, established in June 2011. As the company progressed
into the sphere of precision medicine, it also started delving into
clinical genetic and genomic testing - a natural complement. In
2016, Fulgent LLC split into two separate entities - Fulgent Pharma
and Fulgent Genetics - in order to better pursue their independent
objectives. In 2022, Fulgent Pharma was acquired by Fulgent
Genetics to synergistically advance personalized cancer genomics
and precision oncology therapeutics. Today, Fulgent Pharma is fully
focused on perfecting drug candidates for treating a broad range of
cancers. Its partners in this endeavor include the University of
Southern California, Moffitt Cancer Center, and ANP Technologies.
