Presentation to Highlight Genprex's Study of Reqorsa Gene Therapy in Combination with Tecentriq® for the Treatment of Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer , /PRNewswire/ -- Genprex, Inc. ("Genprex" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: GNPX), a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes, today announced that it has been selected to present at the upcoming 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, taking place May 30 – June 3 in Chicago, Illinois and online. Genprex's abstract was selected for a poster presentation for the Trials in Progress portion of the conference.

"We are very excited to be selected to present the design of our Acclaim-3 clinical trial at this year's annual ASCO meeting, among some of the most cutting-edge advances in oncology," said Ryan Confer, President and Chief Executive Officer at Genprex. "We look forward to presenting the trial design of Acclaim-3 to other organizations and industry leaders committed to shaping the future of cancer care." The featured Genprex abstract to be presented at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting: Title: A phase 1/2 clinical trial of quaratusugene ozeplasmid gene therapy and atezolizumab maintenance therapy in patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC)Session Type: Poster SessionPresentation Date: Saturday, May 31, 2025Presentation Time: 1:30 – 4:30 p.m. CTPresenter: Bo Wang, MD, Oncology Associates of Oregon 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 for Type 2 diabetes, where autoimmunity is not at play, GPX-002 is believed to rejuvenate and replenish exhausted beta cells.
