$GNPX Independent Research on TUSC2 as Target and Biomarker for Thyroid Carcinoma

Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX), a clinical-stage gene therapy company utilizing a unique, non-viral proprietary platform designed to deliver tumor suppressor genes to cancer cells, today announced that, in a recent study, independent researchers reported that TUSC2, a tumor suppressor gene and the active agent in Genprex’s Oncoprex(TM) immunogene therapy, is a potential target and biomarker for thyroid carcinoma. Genprex has no affiliation with these researchers. The study, published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, reports that TUSC2 overexpression decreased thyroid cancer proliferation, migration and invasion. “We continue to be encouraged by data resulting from studies conducted at multiple research institutions suggesting that TUSC2 may be an effective treatment for many types of cancer, now including thyroid cancer,” Genprex Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rodney Varner said in the news release.

About Genprex, Inc.

Genprex, Inc. is a clinical-stage gene therapy company developing potentially life-changing technologies for cancer patients based upon a unique proprietary technology platform. Genprex’s platform technologies are designed to administer cancer-fighting genes by encapsulating them into nanoscale hollow spheres called nanovesicles, which are then administered intravenously and taken up by tumor cells where they express proteins that are missing or found in low quantities. The company’s lead product candidate, Oncoprex(TM) immunogene therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”), has a multimodal mechanism of action whereby it has been shown to interrupt cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells, re-establish pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells, and modulate the immune response against cancer cells. Oncoprex has also been shown to block mechanisms that create drug resistance. In January 2020, the FDA granted Fast Track Designation for Oncoprex(TM) imunogene therapy for NSCLC in combination therapy with AstraZeneca’s Tagrisso(R).
