NetworkNewsBreaks – Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) Looks Forward to Acclaim-3 Trial on Heels of Receipt of FDA FTD and ODD Designations

Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX) is a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing treatments for patients with cancer and diabetes. The company recently announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) had granted Orphan Drug Designation (“ODD”) to its lead drug candidate, REQORSA(R) Immunogene Therapy (quratusugene ozeplasmid), for the treatment of small cell lung cancer (“SCLC”). The receipt of the ODD followed the FDA’s granting of Fast Track Designation (“FTD”) for REQORSA Immunogene Therapy in combination with Tecentriq in patients with ES-SCLC who did not develop tumor progression after receiving Tecentriq and chemotherapy as initial standard treatment. “With the receipt of the latest FTD and the orphan drug status, Genprex is looking forward to initiating the Acclaim-3 clinical trial, expected in the fourth quarter of 2023,” a recent article reads. “We are excited to receive Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA for REQORSA for patients with SCLC,” Rodney Varner, president, chairman and CEO of Genprex, was quoted as saying. “This FDA Orphan Drug Designation in combination with our recently received FDA Fast Track Designation underscores the great need for better treatment options for patients with SCLC, ES-SCLC and non-small cell lung cancer.”
