Therapeutic/Technology: Therapeutic Approach
Process development for establishing an iPSC-based therapeutic candidate for Canavan disease
Translational Candidate Genetically-corrected patient iPSC-derived neural progenitor cells, which have demonstrated efficacy to correct disease phenotype in a CD mouse model. Area of Impact This candidate has the potential to develop into a therapy for Canavan disease, a fatal neurological disease that has no cure or standard treatment. Mechanism of Action The proposed candidate is […]
2nd Generation Vaccine for the Treatment of Glioblastoma
Translational Candidate It is the peptide LEEKKYNYVVVTDHC conjugated to KLH and used as an anti-cancer vaccine. Area of Impact This is a better optimized, more robust vaccine that aspires to greatly improve glioblastoma patient survival over the current vaccine. Mechanism of Action The vaccine stimulates B cell and T cells. We have found this may […]
Overexpression of HexA/HexB by lentivector expression in blood cells to treat Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff disease
Translational Candidate Autologous hematopoietic stem cells transduced with a lentiviral vector expressing wild type human HexA and HexB. Area of Impact The therapeutic candidate would halt disease progression in Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff disease patients who have no curative or ameliorating treatment. Mechanism of Action Wild type HexA and HexB will be delivered to affected neurons […]
ASCENT- Advanced Stem Cell Enteric Neuropathy Therapy
Translational Candidate ASCENT – Advanced Superdonor Cellular Enteric Neuropathy Therapy, is a donor progenitor cell population that replaces the enteric nervous system. Area of Impact ASCENT would treat enteric neuropathies including Hirschsprung disease and total intestinal aganglionosis which currently have no direct therapy Mechanism of Action Our goal is to develop an allogeneic “off the […]

A phase 1/2 study to evaluate a bispecific CD19/CD20-directed CAR T cell, in refractory lupus nephritis and systemic lupus erythematosus
Therapeutic Candidate or Device IMPT-514 is an autologous T-cell product genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor targeting CD19 and CD20 Indication Active, refractory lupus nephritis (LN) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) Therapeutic Mechanism Targeted depletion of pathogenic autoantibody-secreting B cells as well as CD20+ T cells by a bispecific CD19/CD20 -directed CAR T […]
Selective, Off-the-Shelf Logic Gated CAR NK Cell Therapy Targeting CD33 and/or FLT3 Expressing Hematologic Malignancies
Therapeutic Candidate or Device SENTI-202 is an allogeneic off-the-shelf chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) natural killer (NK) cellular therapy targeting CD33 and/or FLT3 malignancies. Indication CD33 and/or FLT3 expressing hematologic malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Therapeutic Mechanism SENTI-202 has been designed to incorporate a logic gated gene circuit and an engineered […]
Phase 1 Study of Autologous E-SYNC T Cells in Adult Participants with EGFRvIII+ Glioblastoma
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Human T cells transduced with a lentiviral vector encoding anti-EGFRvIII synNotch-primed anti-EphA2/IL-13Rα2 chimeric antigen receptor. Indication Patients with MGMT unmethylated newly diagnosed GBM (Cohort 1), and patients for whom re-resection of recurrent GBM (Cohort 2). Therapeutic Mechanism In our proposed system, the first antigen EGFRvIII, which is expressed exclusively but heterogeneously […]
Phase 1/2a Dose Escalation Study of ANPD001 in Sporadic Parkinson Disease
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Autologous stem cell-derived dopaminergic neuron replacement therapy. Indication Parkinson’s disease Therapeutic Mechanism The investigational cell therapy product is being studied as an autologous neuron replacement for Parkinson’s disease. Unmet Medical Need PD is a neurodegenerative disorder, affecting 1+ million people in the US. PD causes loss of dopamine (DA) neurons in […]
