Under the agreement, Genprex gains a worldwide, exclusive license to a patent application and related technology and a worldwide, non-exclusive license to use certain related know-how, all related to a gene therapy, GPX-002, for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
University of Pittsburgh grants Genprex a preclinical technology that transforms macrophages, complementary to the GPX-002 diabetes technology. Novel infusion process uses an endoscope and an AAV vector with a glucagon promoter to deliver the Pdx1 + MafA genes to the pancreas.
Diabetic mice studies have shown that GPX-002, a gene therapy for diabetes, restored normal blood glucose levels for an extended period of time, which could translate to decades in humans.
Preclinical research in a syngeneic solid tumor mouse model shows that I/ONTAK (E7777 or denileukin diftitox) enhances anti-tumor activity and significantly extends survival benefit of anti-PD-1 therapy.
Current SNAP-CAR T therapies are designed to target specific tumor antigens that correspond to a specific cancer indication. This approach has proven effective in certain cancer types but limits the applicability of those CAR T therapies.

The treatment, dubbed PiN-21, could offer an affordable, needle-free option for treating early infections of SARS-CoV-2—the novel coronavirus behind COVID.
Cell Biology and Developmental Biology in University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Astellas will work jointly to evaluate and optimize the drug candidates with an aim to provide new treatment options to help recover and maintain vision in dry AMD patients.
The researchers reported in the journal Cell that Ab8 is highly effective in preventing and treating SARS-CoV-2 infection in mice and hamsters. In mice and hamsters, Ab8 proved effective in preventing and treating the disease; the journal Cell published the findings.
