Clinical-stage, gene-therapy company Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX) recently reported that positive preclinical data for the combination of the TUSC2 gene with an anti-PD1 antibody was recorded by its University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center collaborators in a lung cancer treatment study (http://nnw.fm/8E4bC). An article discussing the study reads, “The results of the study, which analyzed the combination of the TUSC2 gene and anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab, were presented in a poster at the 2019 American Association of Cancer Research Meeting. TUCS2 is a tumor suppressor gene and the active agent in Genprex’s Oncoprex immunogene therapy. . . . The poster data showed that TUCS2 in combination with checkpoint blockade was more effective than checkpoint blockade alone in increasing the survival of mice with human immune cells (humanized mice) that had metastatic lung cancer. TUCS2 in combination with pembrolizumab demonstrated the ability to significantly slow tumor growth.”
