**Item 8.01 Other Events.**

On November 19, 2025, Genprex, Inc. ("Genprex" or the "Company") issued a press release announcing that the Company has added Gabrail Cancer Center in Canton, Ohio, as a new clinical trial site for the Acclaim-1 and Acclaim-3 clinical trials studying its lead drug candidate, Reqorsa® Gene Therapy (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), in lung cancer. In addition, the Company expects to add and open additional clinical trial sites for its Acclaim clinical trials over the coming months in an effort to expand its reach to additional patients and expedite enrollment.

Acclaim-1 is a Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating the combination of REQORSA and AstraZeneca's Tagrisso® (osimertinib) to treat patients with late-stage non-small cell lung cancer ("NSCLC") who have activating EGFR mutations and disease progression after treatment with Tagrisso. The Phase 2a expansion study follows the successful completion of the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the study, which showed REQORSA was generally well tolerated with no dose limiting toxicities despite doubling the starting dose. Importantly, the results showed early signs of efficacy with some patients experiencing prolonged progression free survival and one patient having a partial response. The Phase 2a expansion portion of the trial is expected to enroll approximately 33 patients who have previously received Tagrisso treatment and will determine the safety profile and evaluate efficacy, as well as several other exploratory endpoints. Genprex's team plans to conduct an interim analysis following the treatment of 19 patients, which the Company currently expects to complete enrollment of the first 19 patients in the first half of 2026. The Acclaim-1 clinical trial has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") Fast Track Designation.

Acclaim-3 is a Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating the combination of REQORSA and Genentech's Tecentriq® (atezolizumab) as maintenance therapy in patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer ("ES-SCLC") who are candidates for maintenance therapy after receiving Tecentriq and chemotherapy as standard of care initial treatment. In this study, patients will be treated with REQORSA and Tecentriq until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity is experienced. The Phase 2 expansion study follows the successful completion of the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the study, which showed REQORSA was generally well tolerated. There were no dose limiting toxicities, and in Acclaim-3, the Phase 2 patients are receiving the same dose of REQORSA as patients in the Phase 2 portion of Acclaim-1. The Phase 2 expansion portion is expected to enroll approximately 50 patients. 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. Genprex's team plans to conduct an interim analysis after the 25th patient enrolled and treated reaches 18 weeks of follow up. The Company expects 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. The Acclaim-3 clinical trial is supported by FDA Fast Track Designation and Orphan Drug Designation.
