**PROSPECTUS SUMMARY**

*The following summary highlights some information from this prospectus. It is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before making an investment decision. You should read this entire prospectus, including the* "*Risk Factors*" *section on page 9 of this prospectus and the disclosures to which that section refers you, the financial statements and related notes and the other more detailed information appearing elsewhere or incorporated by reference into this prospectus before investing in any of the securities described in this prospectus.*

**Overview**

We are a clinical stage gene therapy company pioneering the development of gene-based therapies for large patient populations with unmet medical needs. Our oncology platform utilizes our systemic, non-viral ONCOPREX® Delivery System which uses lipid-based nanoparticles in a lipoplex form to deliver tumor suppressor gene-expressing plasmids to cancer cells. The product is administered intravenously, where it is taken up by tumor cells that then express tumor suppressor proteins that were deficient in the tumor. Our diabetes technology is designed to work in Type 1 diabetes 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 Type 2 diabetes, our technology is believed to work by replenishing and rejuvenating exhausted beta cells that make insulin.

*Oncology Platform*

Our lead oncology drug candidate, REQORSA® gene therapy (generic name: *quaratusugene ozeplasmid*), previously referred to as GPX-001, is initially being developed in combination with prominent, approved cancer drugs to treat Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer ("NSCLC") and Small Cell Lung Cancer ("SCLC"). REQORSA has multimodal effects on cancer cells. It harms the metabolism of cancer cells, which leads to reduced cancer cell growth. It has a mechanism of action whereby it decreases tumor glucose metabolism, interrupts cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells, re-establishes pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells, and increases the immune response against cancer cells. In preclinical studies, REQORSA has been shown to be complementary with targeted drugs and immunotherapies. Our strategy is to develop REQORSA in combination with currently approved therapies and we believe REQORSA's unique attributes position it to provide treatments that improve on these current therapies for patients with NSCLC, SCLC, and possibly other cancers.

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. In August 2022, we entered into a sponsored research agreement with MD Anderson to support further preclinical studies of TUSC2 and other tumor suppressor genes. Additionally, we are collaborating with MD Anderson to discover, develop and utilize biomarkers to select the patient population most likely to respond to REQORSA and enable decisions on progression of our drug candidates to the next phase of development. MD Anderson researchers currently are analyzing biomarkers that may indicate a strong positive or negative response to REQORSA in lung cancer that could be used to enrich our population of responders in our clinical trials.

Acclaim – 1: 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 that has activating epidermal growth factor receptor ("EGFR") mutations and 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. 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 56 courses of treatment (approximately 39 months) and 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. We opened the Phase 2a expansion portion of the study and enrolled and dosed the first patient in January 2024. The initial trial design of the Phase 2a expansion portion of the study included two cohorts with half being patients who received only prior Tagrisso treatment and the other half being patients who received prior Tagrisso treatment and chemotherapy. However, as previously announced in August 2024, based on resource prioritization and to focus on the patients for whom REQORSA is most likely to show a benefit, we decided to limit our enrollment efforts moving forward to patients who received only prior Tagrisso treatment and cease enrollment of the second cohort (patients who received prior Tagrisso treatment and chemotherapy). However, noting that two of the patients with prolonged PFS in the Phase 1 portion of the study had previously received both chemotherapy and Tagrisso, in February 2025, we amended the protocol to allow entry of patients progressing on Tagrisso or Tagrisso-containing regimens. The Phase 2a expansion portion of the trial is now expected to enroll approximately 33 patients; all of whom have progressed on Tagrisso or Tagrisso-containing regimens. The Phase 2b randomized portion of the study, in which patients progressing on prior Tagrisso treatment will be randomized 1:1 to either REQORSA and Tagrisso combination therapy or to platinum-based chemotherapy, remains unchanged. 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 Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has granted Fast Track Designation for the Acclaim-1 treatment combination of REQORSA and Tagrisso in NSCLC patients who have progressed on Tagrisso treatment.

The Phase 2a expansion portion of the Acclaim-1 study provides us the advantage of early insight into drug effectiveness in defined and distinct patient populations at the maximum tolerated dose or RP2D in order to better evaluate efficacy and increase the likelihood of a successful randomized Phase 2 trial which will follow the expansion portion of the study.

Acclaim – 2: The Acclaim-2 trial involved a combination of REQORSA and Merck & Co.'s Keytruda® (*pembrolizumab*) in patients with late-stage NSCLC whose disease has progressed after treatment with Keytruda. As previously announced in August 2024, based on a number of factors, including enrollment challenges and delays due to competition for investigators and eligible patients with numerous other trials involving the same patient population, we decided to cease enrollment of new patients in the Acclaim-2 trial to prioritize our resources and focus on the other two Acclaim trials in SCLC and NSCLC, respectively. There are no longer any patients receiving study treatment in the Acclaim-2 trial. Although the Acclaim-2 study in patients progressing on Keytruda containing regimens has been closed due to, among other factors, slow enrollment, we continue to believe that this combination could be beneficial.

Acclaim – 3: 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. On December 16, 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 determined that the RP2D of REQORSA will be 0.12 mg/kg, 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. 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 time of the start of maintenance therapy with REQORSA and Tecentriq in patients with ES-SCLC. Patients will also be followed for survival. A Phase 2 futility analysis will be performed after the 25th patient enrolled and treated reaches 18 weeks of follow up. We expect to complete enrollment of the first 25 patients for interim analysis in the Phase 2 expansion portion of the study in the first half of 2026 and expect the interim analysis in the second half of 2026.

The Acclaim-3 clinical trial has received FDA Fast Track Designation for this patient population and Acclaim-3 has also received an FDA Orphan Drug Designation.

*Diabetes Gene Therapy*

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 general novel approach is used in each of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes whereby an adeno-associated virus 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 using the same construct 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 (formerly known as GPX-003), where autoimmunity is not at play, is believed to work by replenishing and rejuvenating exhausted beta cells that make insulin. We finalized the components of the diabetes construct to take forward for nonclinical studies and in December 2023, we submitted a request to meet with the FDA to obtain their guidance on the nonclinical studies needed to file an Investigational New Drug ("IND") application and initiate first-in-human studies. As a result of the FDA's response, we decided to continue with our planned additional nonclinical studies before requesting regulatory guidance for the IND-enabling studies. We are currently working with the University of Pittsburgh on species analyses for the animal models as well as on other regulatory and clinical strategic planning, including the planned initiation of research in Type 2 diabetes animal models, following which we plan to submit a request to the FDA to meet regarding IND-enabling studies by the end of 2025. In May 2025, following the recent 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. 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.

In February 2023, the Company's research collaborators at UP presented preclinical data in a non-human primate 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 non-human primate 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.

**Recent Developments**

*Equity Line of Credit*

On June 11, 2025, we entered into an equity line of credit ("ELOC") purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC ("Lincoln Park"), pursuant to which Lincoln Park committed to purchase up to $12.5 million in shares of our common stock (subject to certain conditions and limitations contained in the Purchase Agreement) from time to time at our sole discretion over the 24-month term of the Purchase Agreement (the "2025 ELOC Facility"). Sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and our determination as to the appropriate sources of funding for our operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we sold 341,224 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park as purchase shares for aggregate net proceeds of $2,943,745 under the 2025 ELOC Facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we (i) issued 23,737 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park with a value of $365,550 as commitment shares pursuant to the 2025 ELOC Facility, which was expensed as incurred, and (ii) sold 422,380 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park as purchase shares for aggregate net proceeds of $3,818,631 under the 2025 ELOC Facility. From October 1, 2025, through November 10, 2025, we sold 326,750 shares of common stock for aggregate net proceeds of $1,434,139 under the 2025 ELOC Facility.

*Reverse Stock Split*

At our annual meeting of stockholders held on August 15, 2025, 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-ten (1:10) to one-for-fifty (1:50), with such ratio to be determined by our Board in its discretion.

On October 16, 2025, we filed the amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a reverse stock split of our Common Stock at a ratio of one-for-fifty (1:50) (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The Reverse Stock Split became effective in accordance with the terms of the amendment at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on October 21, 2025. All share and per share amounts in this prospectus (other than certain documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including such documents incorporated by reference herein that were filed prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split), have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

*October 2025 Registered Direct Offerings and Concurrent Private Placement Transactions*

On October 24, 2025, we completed a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules (the "October 2025 Registered Direct Offering I"), pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of 243,622 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $11.21 per share. In the concurrent First Private Placement (the First Private Placement, together with the October 2025 Registered Direct Offering I, the "October 2025 Financing I"), we issued the First Private Warrants exercisable for up to an aggregate of 487,244 shares of common stock (the "First Private Warrant Shares") at an exercise price of $11.00 per share. The First Private Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and will expire 24 months from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, which registers for resale by the Selling Stockholders (among other securities identified herein) of all of the First Private Warrant Shares. Also, we agreed to issue to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the "Placement Agent") or its designees the First Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 14,617 shares of common stock (the "First Placement Agent Warrant Shares"). The First Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the First Private Warrants except that the First Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of $14.0125 per share and a termination date that will be the earlier of (i) 24 months from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, which registers for resale by the Selling Stockholders (among other securities identified herein) of all of the First Placement Agent Warrant Shares and (ii) October 23, 2030. The net proceeds of the October 2025 Financing I, after deducting the placement agent's fees and expenses and other estimated October 2025 Registered Direct Offering I expenses payable by the Company and excluding the net proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the First Private Warrants, were approximately $2.5 million. Additionally, if the holders of October 2025 Private Warrants I exercise such warrants in full, we would receive additional gross proceeds of approximately $5.3 million.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

On October 29, 2025, we completed a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules (the "October 2025 Registered Direct Offering II"), pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of 377,780 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $9.00 per share. In the Second Private Placement (together with the October 2025 Registered Direct Offering II, the "October 2025 Financing II"), we issued the Second Private Warrants exercisable for up to an aggregate of 755,560 shares of common stock (the "Second Private Warrant Shares") at an exercise price of $8.75 per share. The Second Private Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and will expire 24 months from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, which registers for resale by the Selling Stockholders (among other securities identified herein) of all of the Second Private Warrant Shares. Also, we agreed to issue to the Placement Agent or its designees the Second Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 22,667 shares of common stock (the "Second Placement Agent Warrant Shares"). The Second Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Second Private Warrants except that the Second Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of $11.25 per share and a termination date that will be the earlier of (i) 24 months from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, which registers for resale by the Selling Stockholders (among other securities identified herein) of all of the Second Placement Agent Warrant Shares and (ii) October 28, 2030. In addition, in connection with any future exercise of the Second Private Warrants, we have agreed to (A) pay the Placement Agent (i) a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross exercise price paid in cash with respect to the exercise of such warrants and (ii) a management fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate gross exercise price paid in cash with respect to the exercise of such warrants and (B) issue to Placement Agent or its designees additional placement agent warrants to purchase that number of shares equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying such Second Private Warrants that have been exercised. The net proceeds of the October 2025 Financing II, after deducting the placement agent's fees and expenses and other estimated October 2025 Registered Direct Offering II expenses payable by the Company and excluding the net proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Second Private Warrants, were approximately $3.1 million. Additionally, if the holders of Second Private Warrants exercise such warrants in full, we would receive additional net proceeds of approximately $6.1 million.

*At-The-Market Offering*

On December 13, 2023, we entered into an At The Market ("ATM") Offering Agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, serving as agent (the "Agent") with respect to an at-the-market offering program (the "2023 ATM Facility") under which we may offer and sell through the Agent, from time to time at our sole discretion, up to such number or dollar amount of shares of our common stock as registered on the prospectus supplement covering the 2023 ATM Facility offering, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time. From October 1, 2025 through November 19, 2025, we sold 291,085 shares of common stock for aggregate net proceeds of $1,248,866 under the 2023 ATM Facility.

*Nasdaq*

As previously disclosed, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC ("Nasdaq") had previously notified the Company on October 13, 2025 that the Panel had granted the Company's request for 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") and the minimum stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the "Stockholders' Equity Requirement") for continued listing through October 31, 2025.

On November 25, 2025, the Company was formally notified that (i) the Panel determined that the Company has regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement; and (ii) the Panel has also approved the Company's request for an exception until December 31, 2025, to demonstrate long-term compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Requirement (as extended, the "Exception").

As previously disclosed, upon request by the Company, the Panel has discretion to grant the Company continued listing through February 9, 2026. Pursuant to the Exception, the Company is required to, and fully intends to, provide the Panel with prompt notification of any significant events that occur, including any event that may call into question the Company's ability to satisfy the terms of the Exception. If such events do occur, the Company may request a further extension beyond December 31, 2025 to regain compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Requirement. The Panel has reserved the right to reconsider the terms of the Exception based on any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the Panel's opinion, make continued listing of the Company's securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted. There can be no assurance that the Panel would exercise their discretion to grant an extension beyond December 31, 2025.

The Company believes it will need to engage in additional capital raising transactions to regain compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Requirement, and there is no guarantee that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

**SELLING STOCKHOLDERS**

This prospectus covers the sale or other disposition by the Selling Stockholders of up to 1,280,088 shares of our common stock. The common stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders are those issuable to the Selling Stockholders, upon the exercise or conversion of other securities. For additional information regarding the issuances of those securities, see "The Offerings." We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to resell or otherwise dispose of the shares from time to time. The Selling Stockholders or any persons (entities or natural persons) who have control over the Selling Stockholders, except as disclosed below, have not held any position or office, or has otherwise had a material relationship, with us or any of our subsidiaries within the past three years other than as a result of the ownership of our common stock or other securities.

The table below lists the Selling Stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of our shares of common stock by each of the Selling Stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each Selling Stockholder, based on its ownership of our shares of common stock and securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock, as of October 29, 2025, assuming exercise or conversion of any securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of common stock held by the Selling Stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises or conversions. The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders. The fourth column lists the shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders assuming the sale of all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. The fifth column represents the percentage of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock to be beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders assuming the sale of all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus based on the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of November 19, 2025.

This prospectus generally covers the resale or other disposition of the sum of (i) the number of shares of common stock issued to the Selling Stockholders in the transactions described above and (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of related securities, determined as if the outstanding securities were exercised or converted in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the securities purchase agreements, without regard to any limitations on the exercise or conversion of such securities.

Under the terms of certain securities held by the Selling Stockholders, a Selling Stockholder may not exercise or convert such securities to the extent such exercise or conversion would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise or conversion, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of such securities which have not been exercised or converted. The number of shares in the second and fourth columns do not reflect this limitation, but the percentages set forth in the fifth column give effect to such limitations. The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See "Plan of Distribution."

The Selling Stockholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of shares of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from sales of shares by the Selling Stockholders.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of common stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may transfer the shares of common stock by other means not described in this prospectus. If the Selling Stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus to the extent required, in the case of an agency transaction will not be in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110).

In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares of common stock offered by this prospectus, which shares of common stock such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances as permitted by applicable law, in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act. In such event, any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Selling Stockholders who are deemed to be "underwriters" under the Securities Act (if any) will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities of, including but not limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.

Each Selling Stockholder has informed us that it is not a registered broker-dealer and does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to engage in a distribution of the shares of common stock. Upon us being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the distribution of shares of common stock, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being distributed and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. If sold under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock registered hereunder will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates that acquire such shares.

We have advised the Selling Stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares of common stock in the market and to the activities of the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the Selling Stockholder for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares of common stock against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

**DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES**

*The following description of our capital stock and provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (*"*Certificate of Incorporation*"*), and Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (*"*Bylaws*" *and together with the Certificate of Incorporation, the* "*Charter Documents*"*), is only a summary. You should also refer to our Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and our Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.*

The securities to be registered on this registration statement on Form S-1 include up to an aggregate amount of 25,000,000 shares of our common stock. As of September 2, 2025, there were 42,905,339 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, including the Commitment Shares. The authorized and unissued shares of common stock and the authorized and undesignated shares of preferred stock are available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which our securities may be listed. Unless approval of our stockholders is so required, our board of directors ("Board of Directors") does not intend to seek stockholder approval for the issuance and sale of our common stock or preferred stock.

**General**

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). As of November 19, 2025, there were 2,318,894 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

As of November 19, 2025, there were 174 shareholders of record of our common stock. The actual number of holders of our common stock is greater than this number of record holders, and includes shareholders who are beneficial owners, but whose shares are held in street name by brokers or held by other nominees. This number of holders of record also does not include shareholders whose shares may be held in trust by other entities.

**Common Stock**

*Voting Rights*

Holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders of the Company for their vote; provided, however, that except as otherwise required by law, that holders of common stock are not entitled to vote on any amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation relating solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series of Preferred Stock are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other series of Preferred Stock to vote thereon by law or pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation. The Company's Charter Documents do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

*Dividend Rights*

Holders of the Company's common stock are entitled, subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any other class of shares ranking in priority to the common stock, to receive any dividend declared by the Company's Board of Directors out of the Company's assets which are legally available. Such dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the Company's capital stock, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law.

The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on its capital stock. The Company currently intends to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation of its business and does not anticipate paying any dividends on the Company's common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend on, among other factors, the Company's financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that the Company's Board of Directors may deem relevant.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

*Liquidation Rights*

Upon the Company's liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to share in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any of the Company's outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

*Preemptive, Conversion and Subscription Rights*

Holders of the Company's common stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights.

**Preferred Stock**

Under our Certificate of Incorporation, our Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by stockholders, to designate one or more series of preferred stock and to fix the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions, and relative rights granted to or imposed upon the preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, liquidation preference, and sinking fund terms, any or all of which may be preferential to or greater than the rights of the common stock.

The authority possessed by our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock could potentially be used to discourage attempts by third parties to obtain control of our company through a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, or otherwise by making such attempts more difficult or more costly. Our Board of Directors may issue preferred stock with voting rights, conversion rights, and other rights that, if exercised, could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock.

**Anti-Takeover Effects of Our Charter Documents and Delaware Law**

Set forth below is a summary of the provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") that could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. The following description is only a summary, and it is qualified by reference to the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and relevant provisions of the DGCL.

*Delaware Anti-Takeover Law*

The Company is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL ("Section 203") which generally prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" transaction with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• prior to the date of the transaction the Board of Directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (1) by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Section 203 defines a "business combination" to include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

------

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, transfer, pledge or other disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions) involving the interested stockholder of assets of the corporation or of any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the corporation which assets have an aggregate market value equal to 10% or more of either the aggregate market value of all the assets of the corporation determined on a consolidated basis or the aggregate market value of all the outstanding stock of the corporation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• subject to exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 defines an "interested stockholder" a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, owned 15% or more of a corporation's outstanding voting securities.

*Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws*

<u>Board of Directors Vacancies</u>

The Company's Charter Documents provide that, except as otherwise required by law, and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, all vacancies, and any newly created directorships, unless the Board of Directors determines that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders, shall, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum. Further, the Company's directors may only be removed with cause and by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the voting power of all of the Company's then outstanding capital stock. In addition, pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the number of directors constituting the Company's Board of Directors may be changed only by resolution of the Company's Board of Directors.

<u>Limits on Ability of Stockholders to Act by Written Consent or Call a Special Meeting</u><u> </u>

The Company's Charter Documents require that any action to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and not be taken by written consent. In addition, pursuant to the Company's Bylaws, special meetings of the Company's stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the board, the Company's Chief Executive Officer or by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors.

<u>Stockholder Proposals</u>

The Company's Bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide notice in writing in a timely manner and also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder's notice. These advance notice procedures may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed and may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempt to obtain control of our company.

<u>Staggered Board</u>

The Company's Charter Documents provide that the Company's Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes and that directors shall be elected for a term of three years. Our classified Board of Directors may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us because it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

<u>Issuance of Undesignated Preferred Stock</u>

As discussed above, our Board of Directors has the ability to designate and issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could deter hostile takeovers or delay changes in our control or management.

<u>No Cumulative Voting</u>

The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless our certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our Charter Documents do not expressly provide for cumulative voting. Without cumulative voting, a minority stockholder may not be able to gain as many seats on our Board of Directors as the stockholder would be able to gain if cumulative voting were permitted. The absence of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for a minority stockholder to gain a seat on our Board of Directors to influence our Board of Directors' decision regarding a takeover.

**Transfer Agent and Registrar**

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is VStock Transfer, LLC.

**Stock Market Listing**

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "GNPX."
