REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: JSPR), a biotechnology company focused on hematopoietic cell transplant therapies, today announced that data from the companys investigator-sponsored study of JSP191 as a conditioning agent in the treatment of Fanconi Anemia were presented at the annual conference of the Inborn Errors Working Party (IEWP), a research group of the European Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation, held on September 23-25, 2022, in Paris, France.
The study is a Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT04784052) utilizing JSP191 to treat Fanconi Anemia patients in bone marrow failure requiring allogeneic transplant with non-sibling donors. The objective of the study is to develop cell therapy for Fanconi Anemia which enables enhanced donor hematopoietic and immune reconstitution with decreased toxicity by transplanting TCR ab+ T-cell/CD19+ B-cell depleted stem cells from a donor, after using JSP191 as a part of conditioning. Primary outcome measures include the number of patients without treatment-emergent adverse events following the administration of JSP191.
In the data series presented, 100% complete donor chimerism was achieved through six months for the first patient and at one month for the second patient. Neutrophil engraftment was reached on day 11 for both patients and platelet engraftment was achieved on days 9 and 14. JSP191 was cleared by day 9 after dosing and no treatment-related adverse events or toxicities were observed.
Patients affected by Fanconi anemia have increased sensitivity to conventional conditioning regimens and radiation due to innate defects in DNA repair, said Ronald Martell, President, and CEO of Jasper Therapeutics. JSP191 offers a targeted conditioning strategy that eliminates the need for radiation or alkylating agents like busulfan. Initial data from this study suggest that a conditioning regimen that includes JSP191 has the potential to achieve successful donor transplant with no JSP191-related adverse events or toxicities reported to date. The positive update presented gives us increased confidence in JSP191, which has now shown promise as a conditioning agent in four indications including acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, severe combined immunodeficiency, and Fanconi anemia. We look forward to continuing support for Stanfords investigation of JSP191 and advancing our broader pipeline for JSP191 to the next phase of development.
The details of the oral presentation are as follows:
Title: JSP 191 clinical trial update Session Name: Conditioning for HSCT in IEI Presenter: Rajni Agarwal-Hashmi, M.D., Professor of Pediatrics and Stem Cell Transplantation, the Stanford University School of Medicine Date/Time: Saturday, September 24, 2022, 2 pm CEST Location: The Imagine Institute in Paris, France
About Fanconi Anemia Fanconi Anemia (FA) is a rare but serious blood disorder that prevents the bone marrow from making sufficient new red blood cells. The disorder can also cause the bone marrow to make abnormal blood cells. FA typically presents at birth or early in childhood between five and ten years of age. Ultimately it can lead to serious complications, including bone marrow failure and severe aplastic anemia. Cancers such as AML and MDS are other possible complications. Treatment may include blood transfusions or medicine to create more red blood cells, but a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is the only cure.
About JSP191
JSP191 is a humanized monoclonal antibody in clinical development as a conditioning agent that blocks stem cell factor receptor signaling leading to clearance of hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow, creating an empty space for donor or genetically modified transplanted stem cells to engraft. To date, JSP191 has been evaluated in more than 100 healthy volunteers and patients. Four clinical trials for acute myeloid leukemia (AML)/ myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), sickle cell disease (SCD) and Fanconi anemia are currently ongoing. The Company plans a new study of JSP191 as a second-line therapeutic in lower-risk MDS patients in 2022 as well as to a pivotal study in AML/MDS transplant in early 2023. Enrollment in additional studies are planned in patients with chronic granulomatous disease and GATA2 MDS who are undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation as well as a study of JSP191 as a chronic therapeutic for low to intermediate risk MDS patients.
About Jasper Therapeutics
Jasper Therapeutics is a biotechnology company focused on the development of novel curative therapies based on the biology of the hematopoietic stem cell.

What are the Current Market Drivers?
MSCs in the Development of Engineered Tissues and Organs hMSCs are considered as one of the prominent bio fabrication materials for decades as they are proved safe and effective in treating various injuries and diseases such as bone or cartilage regeneration, stroke & cancer. Bioprinting is a rapidly expanding tissue engineering area with a lot of promise for product customization and addressing the global tissue and organ scarcity, with a global market of $1.82 billion USD predicted by 2022. hMSCs have also been found to be capable of being guided toward hepatocyte differentiation thus indicating huge demand for hMSCs as tissue engineering of organ develops. The requirement for hMSC in engineered tissue and organ applications is, of course, reliant on cell generation, differentiation, and maturation technologies for the parenchymal cells required for organ function and thus it is expected that the increased availability of hMSC sources as a result of manufacturing technology advancements will pave the way for quick improvement and growth of the mesenchymal stem cells market.
Rise in Focus Towards Regenerative Medicine Therapies MSCs are a good cell source for tissue regeneration because of the following characteristics. MSCs can be sourced from various tissue, including umbilical cord, fetal liver, bone marrow, and synovium. MSCs have the ability to develop into practically any end-stage lineage cell, allowing them to seed specific scaffolds. MSCs are potential immune tolerant agents as they have characteristics such as anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory & immunosuppressive. Several clinical papers back up MSC-based cell therapy's potential efficacy; while its efficacy is still restricted, the results are encouraging.
MSCs have been investigated and used extensively in regenerative medicine. MSCs have moved closer to therapeutic applications for disease therapy and tissue repair in recent years due to improvements in extraction, culture, and differentiation procedures , therefore future research into better biomaterials and effective inducing factors will help MSCs advance in their regenerative medicine applications.
