Sana Biotechnology (NASDAQ: SANA) has announced promising results from preclinical studies on hypoimmune-modified CAR T cells, specifically targeting CD19. These cells demonstrated superior tumor clearance and persistence compared to unmodified CAR T cells in fully immunocompetent humanized mice. The research, published in Nature Communications, highlights the potential of these hypoimmune CAR T cells to evade immune detection, which may address current limitations in CAR T therapies. Initial clinical data for SC291 is expected later this year, with an IND submission for a second therapy, SC262, anticipated for the same timeframe. The findings underscore the transformative potential of these therapies for patients with B-cell malignancies, paving the way for future clinical applications.
Sana Biotechnology (NASDAQ: SANA) announced promising results from its hypoimmune human islet cells, which effectively normalized glucose levels in diabetic humanized mice without causing immune rejection. The study published in Science Translational Medicine reveals that these hypoimmune-modified islet cells maintained structure and function over time, avoiding any immune response. The company plans to initiate an investigator-sponsored trial in patients with type 1 diabetes later this year. Additionally, Sana aims to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for SC451, its hypoimmune PSC-derived pancreatic islet cell therapy, in 2024, which could significantly impact diabetes treatment.
Sana Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ: SANA) has appointed Dr. Douglas E. Williams as President of Research and Development and Dr. Gary Meininger as Chief Medical Officer.
