Genprex is pioneering a new approach to treating cancer–based upon a novel proprietary technology platform–that includes the company’s initial product candidate, Oncoprex immunogene therapy. The company holds a portfolio of 30 issued patents, and two pending patents covering its proprietary platform technologies–and it has seen tremendous promise from pre-clinical research and clinical trials of those technologies at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
The Clinical and pre-clinical research conducted to date indicates that Genprex’s lead candidate, Oncoprex, is synergistic with and may enhance the efficacy of commercially approved and highly successful epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors. To date, multiple clinical trials have demonstrated potential for the intravenous, systemic delivery of Oncoprex, which is comprised of the tumor suppressor gene TUSC2 (also known as FUS1) encapsulated in a lipid nanovesicle.
"Genprex stands at the forefront of the new age in the fight against cancer, and I am immensely proud to be with a company operating in that position," said Rodney Varner, CEO of Genprex. "In my three decades of professional experience, I’ve never worked with another company that has the innovative, dedicated, and multi-faceted talent we have at Genprex. It is inspiring to work with such a tireless group in such a revolutionary sector of the biomedical field."

We are thrilled to, once again, be hosting what we believe will be the great strategic networking opportunity of 2019."
