Genprex Signs Exclusive License to Additional Gene Therapy Technologies with the University of Michigan for the Treatment of Lung Cancer
Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX) has secured a worldwide exclusive license from the University of Michigan for patent rights relating to Reqorsa® Gene Therapy in combination with ALK-inhibitors for treating ALK-EML4 positive lung cancer. Preclinical data showed that Reqorsa induced apoptosis in alectinib resistant EML4-ALK positive non-small cell lung cancer cells. The research indicates that TUSC2, a tumor suppressor gene frequently deleted in lung cancer, when overexpressed in ALK+ NSCLC cell lines, effectively decreased cell growth through activation of apoptotic pathways.
