Genprex reports positive preclinical data for diabetes gene therapy GPX-002 at ADA
Genprex, Inc.
- Alpha cells in Type 1 diabetes mouse models transdifferentiated to insulin-secreting beta-like cells after GPX-002 infusion.
- In diabetic non-human primates, GPX-002 improved glucose tolerance and reduced insulin requirements at one month post-infusion.
- Three-month immunosuppression with rituximab, rapamycin, and steroids largely prevented anti-viral immunity in NHPs.
- Continued studies will evaluate GPX-002 efficacy after six months of immunosuppression in NHP models.
