"We achieved many significant milestones in 2020 that have set the stage for a transformational 2021," said Rodney Varner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Genprex. "The primary focus this past year was on the preparation for our two lead clinical trials in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Our Acclaim-1 clinical trial will combine REQORSA with Tagrisso for patients with late stage NSCLC whose disease progressed after treatment with Tagrisso. Our Acclaim-2 clinical trial will combine REQORSA with Keytruda for NSCLC patients who are low expressors (1% to 49%) of the protein programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). We remain on track to initiate both trials in the first-half of 2021. Additionally, the $40 million-plus in capital infusions in 2020 have provided us with a strong balance sheet as 2021 begins. We are grateful for the confidence and support of our shareholders and look forward to executing on our strategies to achieve a number of potentially value-creating milestones."
