Post# of 231
Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX), a clinical-stage gene therapy company developing potentially life-changing technologies for patients with cancer and diabetes, has received conditional FDA acceptance of the proprietary name REQORSA(TM), its lead drug candidate for treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. The drug candidate was known previously by the laboratory designation GPX-001. The approval of the new name marks a critical branding milestone for the company. Genprex’s REQORSA (pronounced “re-KORE-suh”) immunogene therapy features the company’s exclusive ONCOPREX(TM) nanoparticle delivery system that delivers cancer-fighting genes. The name will be resubmitted to the FDA for final review and approval after all required clinical trials are completed; that final approval is based on the FDA’s approval of the product candidate. The new name was based on FDA’s guidelines for the submission and evaluation of proprietary names. Genprex selected the name based on a comprehensive review of name candidates, including a study of healthcare practitioners across the country to guarantee accurate prescription and safety interpretation of the name. “We are very pleased to receive FDA’s conditional acceptance of our proprietary name, REQORSA, which is a necessary step toward being able to market our lead drug candidate for non-small cell lung cancer,” said Genprex president and CEO Rodney Varner in the press release. “This name approval also marks an important milestone in our overall branding strategy, giving us a unique, easily understood name people can associate with the Genprex brand and mission.”
