NetworkNewsBreaks – Genprex, Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) Announces Another Step in Advancement of Lead Drug Candidate for NSCLC

Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX), a clinical-stage gene therapy company developing potentially life-changing technologies for patients with cancer and diabetes, today announced that the United States Adopted Names (“USAN”) Council has approved the non-proprietary name quaratusugene ozeplasmid for GPX-001, formerly called Oncoprex(TM) immunogene therapy, the Company’s lead drug candidate for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”). “The USAN’s adoption of our non-proprietary name is another step toward advancing our lead drug candidate, GPX-001 for non-small cell lung cancer, toward commercialization,” Rodney Varner, chairman and CEO of Genprex, stated in the news release. “We look forward to the adoption and rollout of a brand name for this drug as we continue to move along the development pathway. In the meantime, we’ve focused our branding efforts on our proprietary, non-viral nanoparticle delivery system with our recognized Oncoprex(TM) name. We believe this delivery system is a significant differentiator for GPX-001, as well as an important platform delivery system that could be used for additional drug candidates.”
