[{"type":"text","content":"AUSTIN, TX / ACCESSWIRE / June 2, 2023 / A clinical-stage gene therapy company is making splashes in the medical world. Genprex, Inc. (NASDAQ:GNPX) is developing potentially life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes that have limited treatment options. The company is working with world-class institutions in developing new drugs from the company's pipeline of gene therapy candidates in order to provide novel treatment approaches. Its oncology program utilizes its proprietary non-viral ONCOPREX® Nanoparticle Delivery System, which Genprex believes is the first systemic gene therapy delivery platform used for cancer in humans. The company's lead drug candidate is called REQORSA®. The immunogene therapy (also known as quaratusugene ozeplasmid) is for both non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and uses the company's unique, proprietary ONCOPREX® Nanoparticle Delivery System.

She experienced only minor side effects from REQORSA and so far has experienced more than 10 months of progression-free survival.NSCLC is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for about 82% of all cas...
