Sensei Biotherapeutics (SNSE) Submits IND for SNS-101
Sensei Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNSE), an immuno-oncology company focused on the discovery and development of next-generation therapeutics for cancer patients, today announced the submission of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of SNS-101, a conditionally active VISTA-blocking antibody, in patients with solid tumors.
SNS-101 is a conditionally active, human monoclonal IgG1 antibody designed to selectively block the VISTA checkpoint in the tumor microenvironment, which acts as a suppressor of T cells by binding the receptor PSGL-1. Preclinical studies have demonstrated SNS-101’s potential to inhibit tumor growth as monotherapy, significantly enhance the anti-tumor effects of PD-1 blockade, avoid poor pharmacokinetics from target-mediated drug disposition and lower the risk of cytokine release syndrome. Sensei plans to evaluate SNS-101 as a novel treatment for patients with solid cancers, as both a monotherapy and in combination with other therapies.
About Sensei BiotherapeuticsSensei Biotherapeutics (SNSE) is an immuno-oncology company focused on the discovery and development of next-generation therapeutics for cancer patients. Through its TMAb™ (Tumor Microenvironment Activated biologics) platform, Sensei develops conditionally active therapeutics designed to disable checkpoints and other immunosuppressive signals selectively in the tumor microenvironment to unleash T cells against tumors. Sensei’s lead investigational candidate is SNS-101, a conditionally active antibody designed to block the V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) checkpoint selectively within the low pH tumor microenvironment, where VISTA acts as a suppressor of T cells by binding the receptor PSGL-1. The company is also developing SNS-102, a conditional binding monoclonal antibody targeting V-Set and Immunoglobulin Domain Containing 4 (VSIG-4), as well as SNS-103, also a conditionally active monoclonal antibody targeting ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-1 (ENTPDase1), also known as CD39.
