About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2 Open-Label, Dose-Escalation and Clinical Response Study of Quaratusugene Ozeplasmid in Combination With Osimertinib in Patients With Advanced, Metastatic EGFR-Mutant, Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this randomized study is to determine the safety and efficacy of quaratusugene ozeplasmid (Reqorsa) added to osimertinib in NSCLC patients with activating EGFR mutations who have progressed while on treatment with osimertinib. Quaratusugene ozeplasmid consists of non-viral lipid nanoparticles that encapsulate a DNA plasmid with the TUSC2 tumor suppressor gene and is the first systemic gene therapy for cancer.

The study is comprised of a Phase 1 dose escalation portion and two Phase 2 portions evaluating safety and efficacy. Enrollment in the Phase 1 dose escalation portion is complete and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) was determined. Phase 2a has initiated and enrolled patients are treated with quaratusugene ozeplasmid at the RP2D in combination with osimertinib. In Phase 2b, patients will be randomized to receive either quaratusugene ozeplasmid plus osimertinib or platinum-based chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Acclaim-1 is an open-label, multi-center, Phase 1/2 study evaluating quaratusugene ozeplasmid (Reqorsa) plus osimertinib (investigational arm) versus platinum-based chemotherapy (control arm) in patients with advanced metastatic or recurrent NSCLC.

Toxicities will be assessed by the Investigator using United States National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0. Serious Adverse Events and Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) will be reviewed by a Safety Review Committee.

Phase 1 - Dose Escalation: The RP2D of quaratusugene ozeplasmid when given in combination with osimertinib has been identified.

Phase 2a: This expansion cohort will be enrolled to better characterize safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of the combination therapy.

Phase 2b: Quaratusugene ozeplasmid in combination with osimertinib will be further evaluated using the RP2D identified in Phase 1. Patients may receive local therapy, such as radiation therapy, to progressing lesions prior to enrollment. Patients will be randomized to receive either the investigational arm or the control arm in a 1 to 1 ratio and stratified based on prior local radiotherapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • quaratusugene ozeplasmidBiological

    Also called Reqorsa

    Quaratusugene ozeplasmid is an experimental non-viral immunogene therapy utilizing the TUSC2 gene, designed to target cancer cells by interrupting cell signaling pathways that allow cancer cells to grow, reestablishing pathways that promote cancer cell death and modulating the immune response against cancer cells.

  • osimertinibDrug

    Also called Tagrisso

    Osimertinib is a 3rd generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) oral tablet administered daily, as indicated for treatment of patients with metastatic NSCLC whose tumors have EGFR genetic deletions or mutations.

  • Platinum-Based ChemotherapyDrug

    Also called cisplatin, carboplatin

    Cisplatin and carboplatin are intravenously administered platinum agents that are combined with other cytotoxic chemotherapy agents such as pemetrexed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing quaratusugene ozeplasmid, osimertinib and Platinum-Based Chemotherapy in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small Cell Lung, run by Genprex, Inc. at 10 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 27 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sr Director, Clinical Operations (1-877-774-GNPX, kcombs@genprex.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) - Phase 1 (time frame: First 21-day treatment cycle for each dose level cohort). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04486833, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Sep 2026.
