Current report

In May 2026, an abstract was published by our research collaborators at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting which detailed positive clinical data from studies of predictive biomarkers in patients receiving REQORSA. These clinical data suggested that patients whose NSCLC cells expressed high TROP-2 protein levels or low PTEN protein levels had longer PFS with REQORSA treatment. We believe that this clinical signal, derived from patients in the our Acclaim clinical trials, underscores the critical role these biomarkers may play in predicting treatment efficacy. These data advance our understanding of this novel gene therapy and may help to guide patient selection for our clinical trials and optimize clinical outcomes. We plan to further evaluate high (3+) TROP-2 expression as a potential biomarker for REQORSA, which may predict patient response and enable targeted patient selection. We are currently evaluating enrollment criteria based on biomarker identification prior to any potential future interim analysis as we continue to enroll and treat patients in the Phase 2a expansion portion of our Acclaim-1 clinical trial.

Current report

In August 2026, we announced our collaboration with Roche Diagnostics to validate biomarkers for patient selection in clinical trials for NSCLC. The collaboration intends to leverage Roche Diagnostics’ expertise in assay development. Roche Diagnostics received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Breakthrough Device Designation for the first AI-driven companion diagnostic for NSCLC that uses a TROP2 score to evaluate NSCLC specimens, and we will use the same antibody against TROP2 for our validation studies. We anticipate completing these validation studies by approximately the end of 2026, with subsequent integration into our NSCLC clinical program shortly thereafter, dependent on the results of the validation studies.

Current report

At our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 18, 2026 (the “Annual Meeting”), our stockholders adopted and approved an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, at a specific ratio, ranging from one-for-five (1:5) to one-for-fifty (1:50), with such ratio to be determined by our Board of Directors in its discretion.

Current report

Pursuant to the authorization and approval granted by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, on July 13, 2026, we filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of one-for-twenty-two (1:22) (the “2026 Reverse Split”). The 2026 Reverse Split became effective in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Amendment at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on July 16, 2026. The 2026 Reverse Split did not change the number of authorized shares of our common stock or the par value. All share and per share amounts in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been appropriately adjusted on a retroactive basis to reflect the 2026 Reverse Split.

Current report

As previously disclosed, on July 29, 2026, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) notified Genprex that the Panel had granted the Company’s request to continue the Company’s listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and grant an exception to demonstrate compliance with the $1.00 Minimum Bid Price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Requirement”).

Current report

On August 4, 2026, the Company was formally notified that the Panel determined that the Company has regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. The Panel further informed the Company that until December 7, 2026, which represents the full extent of the Panel’s discretion in this matter with respect to the Bid Price Requirement, the Company must maintain a closing bid price at or above $1.00 for each trading day; and the Panel will maintain jurisdiction over the Company until December 7, 2026. In the event the Company becomes non-compliant with any other Listing Rule between now and December 7, 2026, the Company will be allowed seven calendar days to advise the Panel on its plan to cure the deficiency. The Panel will, at that time, determine whether to grant the Company an exception to cure the deficiency or delist the Company.

Current report

Critical accounting estimates include the determination of the fair value of derivative liabilities. The fair value of derivative liabilities and other complex financial instruments, may require the use of valuation models such as Monte Carlo simulations, lattice models, or modified Black-Scholes methodologies. These valuation models incorporate significant unobservable inputs, including expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, expected term, probability-weighted financing or liquidity events, market yield assumptions, and the likelihood and timing of contractual settlement or conversion events. Changes in these assumptions could result in material adjustments to the recorded fair value of derivative liabilities and related gains or losses recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Previous report

In February 2023, our research collaborators at UP presented preclinical data in a non-human primate (“NHP”) model of Type 1 diabetes highlighting the therapeutic potential of GPX-002 at the 16th International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (“ATTD 2023”) in Berlin, Germany. The statistically significant study results showed the treated animals had decreased insulin requirements, increased c-peptide levels, and improved glucose tolerance compared to baseline. In April 2023, the Company hosted a Key Opinion Leader virtual event entitled “Novel Gene Therapy to Treat Type 1 Diabetes,” which discussed preclinical data reported at ATTD 2023 supporting gene therapy to treat Type 1 diabetes. In June 2025, our collaboration partners had two presentations at the 2025 American Diabetes Association (“ADA”) 85th Scientific Sessions. Our research collaborators from UP were invited to give an oral presentation highlighting their work in NHP models of Type 1 diabetes. In addition, our contract development and manufacturing organization collaborators presented a poster on a non-viral lipid nanoparticle delivery system that would allow a patient to receive multiple treatments.

Acclaim – 1: The Acclaim-1 study is a Phase 1/2 clinical trial that has three portions - a Phase 1 dose escalation portion, a Phase 2a expansion portion, and a Phase 2b randomized portion. We currently are enrolling and treating patients in the Phase 2a expansion portion of our Phase 1/2 Acclaim-1 clinical trial. The Acclaim-1 trial uses a combination of REQORSA and AstraZeneca’s Tagrisso® (osimertinib) in patients with late-stage NSCLC who have activating epidermal growth factor receptor (“EGFR”) mutations and disease progression on treatment with Tagrisso or Tagrisso-containing regimens. Following the May 2023 completion of the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the study, the Acclaim-1 Safety Review Committee (“Acclaim-1 SRC”) approved advancement from the Phase 1 dose escalation portion to the Phase 2a expansion portion of the study. Based on a review of safety data which showed no dose limiting toxicities (“DLTs”), the Acclaim-1 SRC determined the recommended Phase 2 dose (“RP2D”) of REQORSA to be 0.12 mg/kg administered every 21 days. This was the highest dose level delivered in the Phase 1 portion of the study and is twice the highest dose level delivered in our prior clinical trial combining REQORSA with Tarceva® (erlotinib) for the treatment of late-stage lung cancer. There were three patients out of the twelve originally enrolled in the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the study who had prolonged progression-free survival (“PFS”). One patient attained a partial remission after the second course of REQORSA and Tagrisso and has maintained this response through 64 courses of treatment (approximately 48 months) and this patient continues to receive REQORSA and Tagrisso treatment to date. A second patient had stable disease without disease progression through 32 courses of treatment (approximately 24 months), but then had disease progression and REQORSA treatment was stopped. A third patient had stable disease without disease progression through 14 courses of treatment (approximately 10 months) before disease progression and is no longer receiving treatment. The results of the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the study were published inClinical Lung Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal covering various aspects of clinical and translational research of lung cancer, in January 2026. We opened the Phase 2a expansion portion of the study and enrolled and dosed the first patient in January 2024. The Phase 2a expansion portion of the trial is expected to enroll approximately 33 patients, all of whom had disease progression on Tagrisso or Tagrisso-containing regimens. There will be an interim analysis following the treatment of 19 patients in the Phase 2a portion of the Acclaim-1 study. We expect to complete the enrollment of the first 19 patients for interim analysis in the Phase 2a expansion portion of the study in the first half of 2026 and expect the interim analysis in the second half of 2026.

The TUSC2 gene, which is the key component of REQORSA and plays a vital role in cancer suppression and normal cell metabolism, is one of a series of genes on the short arm of Chromosome 3 whose therapeutic use is covered by our exclusive worldwide licenses from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (“MD Anderson”). We believe that our ONCOPREX Delivery System allows for the delivery of a number of cancer-fighting tumor suppressor genes, alone or in combination with other cancer therapies, to combat multiple types of cancer and we are in early stages of discovery programs to identify other cancer candidates. Since not all patients respond to REQORSA, we have been collaborating with researchers at MD Anderson to identify biomarkers that might predict a strong positive response or a lack of response to REQORSA in patients with lung cancer. This preclinical effort has led to the identification of two proteins whose expression appears to predict response to REQORSA. This work, titled “TROP2 and PTEN are biomarkers of primary resistance to TUSC2 gene therapy in non-small cell lung cancer” was accepted for a poster presentation at the meeting of the American Association of Cancer Research in April 2026. These findings suggest that TROP2 and PTEN may serve as biomarkers to predict TUSC2 response and guide therapeutic strategies in NSCLC. TROP2 (trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that functions as a cell surface receptor. TROP2 overexpression in adult tissues is a hallmark of many solid tumors, making it a major target for modern cancer therapies. PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) is a tumor suppressor gene that serves as a multi-functional cancer biomarker in a number of cancers, with potential for risk assessment, diagnosis and treatment planning. Validation in specimens from clinical trials will be needed to determine whether these potential biomarkers predict clinical response. In April 2026, we entered into a new sponsored research agreement with MD Anderson to study biomarkers that may predict patient response to REQORSA. We are testing patient samples from our clinical trials for selected biomarkers to determine if sensitivities exist among our existing patient population in an effort to guide patient selection and optimize clinical outcomes.

Acclaim–* 3*: The Acclaim-3 study has two portions - a Phase 1 dose escalation portion and a Phase 2 expansion portion. We are currently enrolling and treating patients in the Phase 2 expansion portion of our Phase 1/2 Acclaim-3 clinical trial. The Acclaim-3 clinical trial uses a combination of REQORSA and Genentech, Inc.’s Tecentriq® (atezolizumab) as maintenance therapy for patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer (“ES-SCLC”) who did not develop tumor progression after receiving Tecentriq and chemotherapy as initial standard treatment. Patients are treated with REQORSA and Tecentriq until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity is experienced. In December 2024, we announced that we had completed the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the Acclaim-3 clinical trial. Based on full safety data, which showed no DLTs, the Acclaim-3 Safety Review Committee (“Acclaim-3 SRC”) determined that the RP2D of REQORSA will be 0.12 mg/kg administered every 21 days, which was the highest dose level delivered in the Phase 1 portion of the trial, and approved the opening of the Phase 2 expansion portion of the trial. Although decreases in tumor size are not expected during maintenance therapy with atezolizumab alone, there were two patients out of the six enrolled in the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the study who had marked decreases in measurable disease. We previously reported that the first patient treated in the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the Acclaim-3 trial had a partial remission, which is defined as at least a thirty percent (30%) decrease in tumor size, from prior to the start of maintenance therapy to the time of the CT scan performed after two cycles of maintenance therapy. A CT scan performed after four cycles of maintenance therapy (three months), confirmed that the patient still had a 30% decrease in tumor size in measurable lesions; however, one lesion not previously measurable had grown in size, thus leading to a conclusion of disease progression at that time. Another patient in the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the Acclaim-3 trial had a twenty-three percent (23%) decrease in tumor size from prior to the start of maintenance therapy to the time of the CT scan performed after two cycles of maintenance therapy. This patient received seven cycles of study therapy before progressing after 4.2 months. In addition, one patient in the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the study achieved an unconfirmed partial remission after 24 cycles of therapy and continues to receive study treatment in the trial after more than 19 months. We anticipate that the Phase 2 expansion portion will enroll approximately 50 patients at approximately 10 to 15 U.S sites. Patients will be treated with REQORSA and Tecentriq until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity is experienced. The primary endpoint of the Phase 2 portion is to determine the 18-week progression-free survival rate from the start of maintenance therapy with REQORSA and Te…

In diabetes, we have exclusively licensed from the University of Pittsburgh of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education (“University of Pittsburgh” or “UP”) multiple technologies relating to the development of a gene therapy product for each of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. The same novel approach is used in each of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes whereby an adeno-associated virus (“AAV”) vector containing the Pdx1 and MafA genes is administered directly into the pancreatic duct. In humans, this can be done with a routine endoscopy procedure. Our diabetes product candidates are currently being evaluated and optimized in preclinical studies at the University of Pittsburgh. GPX-002 is being developed for the treatment of both Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. GPX-002 for Type 1 diabetes is designed to work by transforming alpha cells in the pancreas into functional beta-like cells, which can produce insulin but may be distinct enough from beta cells to evade the body’s immune system. In a similar approach, GPX-002 for Type 2 diabetes, where autoimmunity is not at play, is believed to work by replenishing and rejuvenating exhausted beta cells that make insulin. We are currently working with the University of Pittsburgh on species analyses for the animal models as well as other regulatory and clinical strategic planning, including the initiation of research in Type 2 diabetes animal models. In December 2025, we also executed on our strategic goal to submit a meeting request to the FDA by the end of the year to discuss the necessary Investigational New Drug (“IND”)-enabling preclinical studies, an important step before potentially initiating clinical trials in humans. See the discussion captioned “Recent Developments – Diabetes Gene Therapy Updates” below for more information on the Company’s meeting with the FDA which occurred in February 2026. In May 2025, following the completion of our August 2022 sponsored research agreement with UP, we entered into a new sponsored research agreement with UP to study Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes in animal models. The new sponsored research agreement also includes a revised research plan to encompass our most recent technologies to which we originally acquired exclusive rights from UP in July 2023 as amended and restated in the comprehensive New UP License Agreement in February 2025 (as defined and described below). These include a MafB promoter to drive expression of the Pdx1 and MafA transcription factors that can potentially be used for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. See also “Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In addition, our third-party contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”) collaborators presented a poster on a non-viral lipid nanoparticle delivery system that would allow a patient to receive multiple treatments.

On February 17, 2025, we and the University of Pittsburgh entered into an amended and restated Exclusive License Agreement (the “New UP License Agreement”), which updated and consolidated into a single agreement our prior license agreements with UP. Pursuant to the New UP License Agreement, UP granted to us a worldwide, exclusive license for certain patents and related technology, collectively referred to as the “Licensed Technology,” and a worldwide, non-exclusive license to use certain related know-how. The Licensed Technology covered by the New UP License Agreement is based on the same general gene therapy approach as covered under our prior license agreements with UP (less the previously-licensed macrophage technology), whereby an adeno-associated virus vector containing the Pdx1 and MafA genes is administered directly into the pancreatic duct. More specifically, the Licensed Technology covered by the New UP License Agreement is related to a gene therapy for both Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes using the genes of the Pdx1 and MafA transcription factors controlled by insulin, glucagon and MafB promoters.

As previously disclosed, in December 2025 we submitted a request to meet with the FDA to discuss the necessary IND-enabling preclinical studies for our Type 1 diabetes gene therapy program, an important step before potentially initiating clinical trials in humans. On February 19, 2026, we met with the FDA and received feedback which aligned with our expectations and plans. Following the FDA meeting and receipt of the official meeting minutes, we plan to continue with preclinical animal studies, as expected, which will allow us to finalize the design and initiate future toxicology studies. Subsequent data from toxicology studies are expected to enable IND filing. Toxicology studies are a required step of drug development, ensuring that new treatments are evaluated in animal models before human use in order to identify potential risks, determine safe dosages and monitor for side effects. Additionally, we plan to begin clinical scale production in a current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”) compliant facility, allowing us to accelerate our manufacturing processes necessary for IND-enabling preclinical studies and clinical trials. We are also continuing work with third-party contract development and manufacturing organizations (“CDMOs”) and research partners to optimize constructs and evaluate alternative second-generation approaches including different AAV and non-viral constructs.

We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete development of, obtain regulatory approval for and begin to commercialize one or more of our current or future product candidates, which we expect will take a number of years and which is subject to significant uncertainty. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital to fund our future operations, which include conducting our Acclaim-1 and Acclaim-3 clinical trials (of which both are currently enrolling) and completing preclinical work for potential other oncology candidates and completing preclinical work and conducting clinical trials for our diabetes program. We expect interim enrollment of the Phase 2a expansion portion of the Acclaim-1 trial to be completed in the first half of 2026. We expect interim enrollment in the Phase 2 dose expansion portion of the Acclaim-3 trial to be completed in the first half of 2026. Until such time as we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equity offerings, drawdowns on our 2023 ATM Facility pursuant to our Sales Agreement with the Agent, sales pursuant to our 2025 ELOC Facility, and debt financings and we may seek to raise additional capital through strategic collaborations or transactions. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all, which would have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs or commercialization efforts or grant rights to others to develop or market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves. Failure to receive additional funding could cause us to curtail or cease our operations. Furthermore, even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations. As a result of our recurring losses from operations and the need for additional financing to fund our operating and capital requirements, there is uncertainty regarding our ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate our business effectively over the next 12 months, which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

The TUSC2 gene, which is the key component of REQORSA and plays a vital role in cancer suppression and normal cell metabolism, is one of a series of genes on the short arm of Chromosome 3 whose therapeutic use is covered by our exclusive worldwide licenses from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (“MD Anderson”). We believe that our ONCOPREX Delivery System allows for the delivery of a number of cancer-fighting tumor suppressor genes, alone or in combination with other cancer therapies, to combat multiple types of cancer and we are in early stages of discovery programs to identify other cancer candidates.
