Genprex, Inc. Stock

Genprex, Inc. is a clinical-stage gene therapy company. The Company is focused on the development of gene-based therapies for patients with unmet medical needs. The Company's lead oncology drug candidate, REQORSA Immunogen therapy drug (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), is being developed to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The active agent in REQORSA is a plasmid that expresses a tumor suppressor gene named TUSC2. REQORSA consists of the TUSC2 gene-expressing plasmid encapsulated in non-viral nanoparticles made from lipid molecules (its ONCOPREX Nanoparticle Delivery System). The Company is also using a different gene therapy delivery system in developing its pre-clinical diabetes candidates, GPX-002 and GPX-003. Its diabetes gene therapy is designed to work by transforming alpha cells in the pancreas into functional beta-like cells, which can produce insulin but are distinct enough from beta cells to evade the body's immune system.
