QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Genprex, Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) Initiates First Phase of Branding Lead Drug Candidate

Clinical-stage gene therapy company Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX) this morning announced it has initiated the first phase of branding its lead drug candidate, Oncoprex(TM) immunogene therapy, and has completed and submitted non-proprietary drug name selections to the American Medical Association’s United States Adopted Names (“USAN”) Council. According to the update, Genprex will, upon receipt of USAN feedback expected later this year, submit its non-proprietary drug name selections to the World Health Organization for International Nonproprietary Names (“INN”) status. By mid-2020, the company expects to obtain an approved non-proprietary drug name. “Developing and obtaining regulatory approval of a non-proprietary drug name is a requirement for bringing our lead drug candidate to market,” Genprex Chairman and CEO Rodney Varner said in the news release. “We’re one step closer to achieving this regulatory milestone. An approved non-proprietary drug name will also make our lead drug candidate more widely recognizable to clinicians and physicians and most importantly, to patients living with non-small cell lung cancer.”

About Genprex Inc.

Genprex, Inc. is a clinical stage gene therapy company developing potentially life-changing technologies for cancer patients, based upon a unique proprietary technology platform, including Genprex’s initial product candidate, Oncoprex(TM) immunogene therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Genprex’s platform technologies are designed to administer cancer fighting genes by encapsulating them into nanoscale hollow spheres called nanovesicles, which are then administered intravenously and taken up by tumor cells where they express proteins that are missing or found in low quantities. Oncoprex has a multimodal mechanism of action whereby it interrupts cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells, re-establishes pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells, and modulates the immune response against cancer cells. Oncoprex has also been shown to block mechanisms that create drug resistance. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Genprex.com.
