Genprex Inc (GNPX) Financier

Genprex, Inc. is a clinical-stage gene therapy company, which engages in the development of therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes. The company is headquartered in Austin, Texas and currently employs 13 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2018-03-29. The firm's technologies are designed to administer disease-fighting genes to provide new therapies for large patient populations with cancer and diabetes, who have limited treatment options. Its oncology program utilizes its systemic, non-viral Oncoprex Delivery System, which uses lipid-based nanoparticles in a lipoplex form to deliver tumor suppressor gene-expressing plasmids to cancer cells. Its oncology drug candidate, Reqorsa Gene Therapy (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), is developed in combination with approved cancer drugs to treat Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC). GPX-002 is being developed by the Company using the same construct for the treatment of both Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. GPX-002 for Type 1 diabetes is designed to work by transforming alpha cells in the pancreas into functional beta-like cells.
