Corporate presentation summary
10 Aug, 2026Strategic focus and pipeline highlights
Targeting type 1 diabetes (T1D) and in vivo CAR T cell therapies as major opportunities, with T1D affecting ~10M people globally and current treatments falling short.
SC451 program aims for a one-time, immunosuppression-free cure for T1D using hypoimmune stem cell-derived islets, with IND filing and Phase 1/2 trial initiation targeted for 2026.
In vivo CAR T cell platform leverages fusosome technology for cell-specific delivery, aiming for off-the-shelf therapies without conditioning chemotherapy.
SG293 (CD19-targeted) and SG227 (BCMA-targeted) are lead CAR T candidates, with first-in-human data for SG293 in non-Hodgkin lymphoma expected in 2026 and SG227 clinical study in multiple myeloma by mid-2027.
Scientific and clinical validation
Hypoimmune technology enables allogeneic cell survival without immunosuppression, validated in non-human primates and a first-in-human T1D patient.
Clinical trial with HIP islet cells in T1D patient showed cell survival, function, and immune evasion for over 12 months, meeting all safety and efficacy endpoints.
Imaging and C-peptide data confirmed graft survival and endogenous insulin production up to 14 months post-transplant.
No detectable immune response against HIP-modified cells at 12 months, supporting immune evasion claims.
Development progress and next steps
SC451 program advanced through nonclinical testing, GMP manufacturing, and regulatory engagement; clinical sites selected and activation underway.
Next steps include completing GLP toxicology, filing INDs in multiple geographies, and initiating Phase 1 testing.
Phase 1/2 trial will focus on safety, cell survival, and function, with potential for insulin independence within 3-6 months.
