Genprex' GPX-002 reverses hyperglycemia in T2D mouse models; data at ASGCT 2026
Genprex, Inc.
- GPX-002 (Pdx1/MafA gene therapy) reversed hyperglycemia in HFD-induced T2D mouse models within 4 weeks post-treatment.
- Islets from treated mice showed insulin secretion similar to normal-diet mice; improved beta-cell function and maturation.
- Treatment increased mature insulin granules and decreased immature granules in beta cells.
- Approach deemed potentially translatable to humans via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
- Data to be presented at ASGCT Annual Meeting, May 11-15, 2026 in Boston.
