Genprex diabetes gene therapy GPX-002 reverses hyperglycemia in T2D mouse model
Genprex, Inc.
- Preclinical data presented at ASGCT 2026 showed GPX-002 reversed hyperglycemia in Type 2 diabetic mice within 4 weeks.
- Treatment improved β-cell function: increased insulin granules, improved glucose-stimulated insulin secretion vs controls.
- β-cell-specific targeting (RIP-PM-GFP) also reversed hyperglycemia, indicating enhanced β-cell maturation.
- Approach is translatable to humans via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography delivery to the pancreas.
