Oncotelic Therapeutics Inc (OTC: OTLC) is a clinical-stage oncology company that develops cancer therapeutics and an AI-enabled pharmaceutical research platform. The company generates no product revenue; it is funded through debt and equity issuances while advancing a pipeline of drug candidates and a proprietary AI platform called PDAOAI. Oncotelic operates primarily through a joint venture with GMP Bio, to which it transferred the bulk of its pipeline costs as of April 2022. Its lead drug candidates include OT-101, an inhibitor of the TGF-beta system, and CA4P (Fosbretabulin), a vascular disrupting agent being studied in combination with checkpoint inhibitors. As of December 31, 2025, the company held approximately $0.1 million in cash, carried approximately $11.9 million in short-term debt including accrued interest, and reported an accumulated deficit of approximately $38 million since inception, partially offset by a FY2025 fair-value gain on its GMP Bio investment of approximately $365.4 million (per the 10-K filed April 15, 2026).
