Oncology startup FogPharma just closed a $145 million Series E round, the company confirmed, reaching a late stage of financing that few other biotechs have hit in recent years.

FogPharma, which is headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., is developing cancer treatments using corkscrew-shaped peptides called helicons that could possibly better breach cells.

But FogPharma could deliver something truly unique, Mammen said.
