Welcome to our dedicated page for Genprex news (Ticker: GNPX), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Genprex stock.
Genprex, Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) is a pioneering clinical-stage gene therapy company committed to transforming the landscape of cancer and diabetes treatments. The company's mission is to address the unmet medical needs of a growing population of patients worldwide through the development of innovative immunogene therapies. Genprex's flagship product, Reqorsa Immunogene Therapy (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), is at the forefront of its oncology program and is currently being evaluated in three clinical trials targeting non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
Oncoprex® Delivery System, Genprex's proprietary platform, encapsulates gene-expressing plasmids using lipid-based nanoparticles. This systemic, non-viral method enables the intravenous delivery of tumor suppressor genes to cancer cells, which then express proteins that were deficient in the tumor. Reqorsa Immunogene Therapy has shown promise by re-establishing pathways for programmed cell death, interrupting cancer cell signaling, and modulating immune responses.
The company's recent achievements include securing new patents and receiving FDA Fast Track and Orphan Drug designations for its clinical programs. Specifically, the Acclaim-2 and Acclaim-3 studies are exploring the potential of Reqorsa in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors like Keytruda® and Tecentriq®. These trials aim to provide new therapeutic options for patients with advanced-stage lung cancers who have limited treatment alternatives.
In addition to its oncology initiatives, Genprex is advancing a novel gene therapy approach for diabetes. Using an AAV vector, the company delivers Pdx1 and MafA genes directly to the pancreas to transform alpha cells into beta-like cells capable of producing insulin. This method shows promise for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and aims to offer a new lifeline for patients with these conditions.
Genprex collaborates with renowned institutions and industry leaders to further its research and development pipeline. The company's commitment to innovation and patient-centric solutions positions it as a significant player in the gene therapy landscape.
