Preclinical Data Presented at the 2024 EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 28, 2024 /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 research collaborators delivered poster presentations at the 2024 EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics held October 23-25, 2024 in Barcelona, Spain. The collaborators presented posters on positive preclinical data from studies of Genprex’s lead drug candidate, Reqorsa® Gene Therapy (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), for the treatment of Ras inhibitor resistant lung cancer, mesothelioma, and glioblastoma.
Expanding the Horizons of Cancer Treatment
The presentation of positive preclinical data at the prestigious EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium signifies a significant milestone in the development of novel therapies for cancer patients. Genprex’s lead drug candidate, Reqorsa® Gene Therapy, has shown promising results in studies focusing on Ras inhibitor resistant lung cancer, mesothelioma, and glioblastoma.
Ras inhibitor resistance is a major challenge in the treatment of certain types of cancer, as it can lead to tumor progression and limited treatment options. The preclinical data presented at the symposium suggests that Reqorsa® Gene Therapy may offer a potential solution to this issue, providing new hope for patients who have not responded to traditional treatment methods.
In addition to lung cancer, mesothelioma, and glioblastoma, Genprex’s gene therapy approach holds promise for addressing other types of cancer as well. By targeting specific genetic mutations and pathways that drive cancer growth, Reqorsa® Gene Therapy represents a groundbreaking advancement in the field of precision medicine.
Impact on Individuals
For individuals affected by Ras inhibitor resistant lung cancer, mesothelioma, glioblastoma, and other types of cancer, the positive preclinical data presented at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium offers a glimmer of hope. This innovative gene therapy approach has the potential to transform the landscape of cancer treatment, providing new options for patients who face limited therapeutic choices.
Patients and their families may find reassurance in the progress being made in the development of novel therapies like Reqorsa® Gene Therapy. As research continues to advance, there is optimism that more effective and targeted treatments will become available, offering improved outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients.
Global Impact
