Post# of 231
Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX), a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes, recently received a patent from the China National Intellectual Property Administration. “The granted patent broadly covers the use of the company’s drug candidate REQORSA(R) immunogene therapy in combination with PD-1 antibodies, such as Keytruda(R), to treat cancers. The REQORSA gene therapy in combination with Keytruda is the subject of the company’s ongoing Acclaim-2 clinical trial for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (‘NSCLC’). In this trial, the company is enrolling and treating patients with advanced, metastatic NSCLC whose disease progressed after treatment with Keytruda. The first patient was dosed in this study in April of last year,” a recent article reads. “Now with the latest patent grant in China, we have secured exclusivity for the use of this drug combination for the treatment of cancer in some of the most important markets in the world. The company already has received patent protection in the U.S., Australia, Mexico, Japan and Russia. This patent protection prevents others from using this drug combination to treat cancer in these jurisdictions,” Thomas Gallagher, Esq., SVP of Intellectual Property and Licensing at Genprex, is quoted as saying.
