NetworkNewsBreaks – Genprex Inc.’s (NASDAQ: GNPX) Third Fast Track Designation Validates REQORSA(R)’s Potential
Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX), a gene therapy company, recently received U.S. FDA Fast Track Designation (“FTD”) for its lead product candidate, REQORSA(R) immunogene therapy, in combination with Tecentriq(R), a cancer immunotherapy treatment developed and sold by Genentech, Inc., in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (“ES-SCLC”) who did not develop tumor progression after receiving Tecentriq and chemotherapy as initial standard treatment. “The FTD is for the company’s Acclaim-3 patient population, and Genprex expects to initiate its Acclaim-3 clinical trial by enrolling the first patient in the third quarter of 2023… The company previously received two other FTDs. In 2020, Genprex announced that the FDA had granted FTD for its REQORSA therapy in combination with AstraZeneca’s (NASDAQ: AZN) Tagrisso(R) in patients with late-stage non-small cell lung cancer (‘NSCLC’) whose disease has progressed after treatment with Tagrisso. Later, in 2022, the company received its second FTD for REQORSA in combination with Merck & Co Inc.’s (NYSE: MRK) Keytruda(R) in patients whose disease progressed after treatment with Keytruda,” explains a recent article. “This is another exciting achievement in our REQORSA drug development program, which further validates REQORSA’s potential not only in NSCLC but also in SCLC. We look forward to accelerating the clinical development of REQORSA, and potentially providing a new treatment option for patients with SCLC,” Rodney Varner, chairman, president and CEO of Genprex, is quoted as saying.
