Tagrisso(R). “Genprex continues to strengthen its leadership team with the
appointment of an accomplished executive to drive the launch of key clinical
trials,” Genprex Chairman and CEO Rodney Varner said in the news release. “Ms.

biotechnology companies and top tier academic institutions. She will be
instrumental in continuing to build the long-term value of our gene therapies.

About Genprex, Inc.
Genprex, Inc. is a clinical-stage gene therapy company
developing potentially life-changing technologies for patients with cancer and
diabetes. Genprex’s technologies are designed to administer disease-fighting
genes to provide new treatment options for large patient populations with
cancer and diabetes who currently have limited treatment options. Genprex works
with world-class institutions and collaborators to in-license and develop drug
candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to provide novel
treatment approaches. The Company’s lead product candidate, Oncoprex(TM), is
being evaluated as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”).
Oncoprex has a multimodal mechanism of action that has been shown to interrupt
cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells;
re-establish pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells;
and modulate the immune response against cancer cells. Oncoprex has also been
shown to block mechanisms that create drug resistance. In January 2020, the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Fast Track Designation for Oncoprex
immunogene therapy for NSCLC in combination therapy with osimertinib
(AstraZeneca’s Tagrisso(R)). For more information, please visit the company’s
