An announcement from Genprex ( (GNPX) ) is now available.

On April 21, 2026, Genprex announced a new Sponsored Research Agreement with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to study biomarkers that may predict patient response to its Reqorsa Gene Therapy in lung cancer. Preclinical work has highlighted TROP2 and PTEN as potential biomarkers, which could sharpen patient selection for the company’s Acclaim-1 and Acclaim-3 clinical trials and potentially improve clinical outcomes.

The company reported that its Acclaim-1 Phase 1/2 trial in late-stage NSCLC combining Reqorsa with Tagrisso has advanced into Phase 2a after Phase 1 showed Reqorsa was generally well tolerated, with no dose-limiting toxicities and early signs of efficacy, including a durable partial response. Genprex also said its Acclaim-3 Phase 1/2 trial in extensive-stage SCLC combining Reqorsa with Tecentriq has moved into Phase 2 after a clean safety profile in Phase 1 and an unconfirmed partial remission lasting more than 18 months for one patient, underscoring the potential clinical promise of its gene therapy platform.

Separately, Genprex released an updated investor presentation, available on its website, for use in meetings with investors, analysts and other stakeholders on or after April 21, 2026. The new data and research collaboration reinforce the company’s positioning as an emerging player in gene therapy-based oncology, with ongoing clinical validation efforts that could influence future treatment paradigms in lung cancer.
