Genprex, Inc., was incorporated in Delaware in April 2009. The company is a privately held clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing immunogenic treatments for cancer. Genprex is a clinical-stage gene therapy company that develops a new approach to treat cancer, based on its new patented technology platform, including its original product candidate, Oncoprex Immune Gene Therapy, or Oncoprex. Their platform technology aims to treat cancer genes by encapsulating them in 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 that interrupts cell signaling pathways, causes replication and proliferation of cancer cells, re-establishes apoptosis pathways or programmed cell death pathways in cancer cells, and modulates immune responses against cancer cells. Oncoprex has also been shown to block the mechanism by which resistance develops.
