About Genprex, Inc.
Genprex, Inc. is a clinical-stage
gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies
for patients with cancer and diabetes. Genprex's technologies are
designed to administer disease-fighting genes to provide new
therapies for large patient populations with cancer and diabetes
who currently have limited treatment options. Genprex works with
world-class institutions and collaborators to develop drug
candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to
provide novel treatment approaches. Genprex's oncology program
utilizes its systemic, non-viral Oncoprex® Delivery System which
encapsulates the gene-expressing plasmids using lipid-based
nanoparticles in a lipoplex form. The resultant product is
administered intravenously, where it is taken up by tumor cells
that then express tumor suppressor proteins that were deficient in
the tumor. The Company's lead product candidate, Reqorsa® Gene
Therapy (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), is being evaluated in two
clinical trials as a treatment for NSCLC and SCLC. Each of
Genprex's lung cancer clinical programs has received a Fast Track
Designation from the FDA for the treatment of that patient
population, and Genprex's SCLC program has received an FDA Orphan
Drug Designation. Genprex's diabetes gene therapy approach is
comprised of a novel infusion process that uses an AAV vector to
deliver Pdx1 and MafA genes directly to the pancreas. In models of
Type 1 diabetes, GPX-002 transforms alpha cells in the pancreas
into functional beta-like cells, which can produce insulin but may
be distinct enough from beta cells to evade the body's immune
system. In a similar approach, GPX-002 for Type 2 diabetes, where
autoimmunity is not at play, is believed to rejuvenate and
replenish exhausted beta cells.
