Sernova and Evotec Enter into an Exclusive Global Strategic Partnership for iPSC-Based Beta Cell Replacement Therapy to Develop and Commercialize a…

LONDON, Ontario, May 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sernova Corp. (TSX-V:SVA)(

The collaboration agreement is a transformative partnership that combines Sernovas Cell Pouch System technologies, which has demonstrated Phase 1/2 clinical proof-of-concept using human donor islets, with Evotecs iPSC-based beta cells. Incorporating Evotecs insulin-producing, ethically-derived beta cells within Sernovas Cell Pouch platform creates the potential to provide a functional cure for millions of people suffering from diabetes using a cGMP controlled and scalable off-the-shelf product.

With its long-standing beta cell development program, Evotec has demonstrated the ability to reliably produce an unlimited supply of high quality, stable, human iPSC-derived beta cells using its proprietary process for producing islet-like clusters in a quality-controlled scalable bioreactor process. These islet-like clusters have now been proven to be functionally equivalent to primary human islets in their ability to normalize blood glucose using in vivo models of type 1 diabetes (T1D).

The partnership provides Sernova a global exclusive option to license Evotecs iPSC-based beta cells for use in treating both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In addition to entering into the collaboration agreement, Evotec has made a strategic equity investment of 15M and will make a further investment of 5M. Specifically, concurrently with the entering into the collaboration agreement, Evotec acquired a total of 12,944,904 common shares at a price of CAD $1.57 per share for gross proceeds to Sernova of $20,323,500. In addition, pursuant to an unconditional purchase warrant, Evotec will acquire, on or before August 31, 2022, a further 2,709,800 common shares at a price of CAD$2.50 per share for gross proceeds of $6,774,500. All of the securities issued to Evotec are subject to a four month hold period.

Further to the collaboration and Evotecs strategic equity investment, Dr. Cord Dohrmann, Chief Scientific Officer of Evotec will join Sernovas Board of Directors.

Dr. Philip Toleikis, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Sernova, commented, In tandem with our current clinical islet cell program, Sernova entered into multiple pharmaceutical research collaborations to identify the highest quality and most compatible iPSC cell technology, and validate the cells preclinically within our Cell Pouch System. Evotec is an iPSC powerhouse having dedicated many years and substantial resources to developing high quality and stable stem cell technologies for multiple therapeutic applications. In every sense, both as a global strategic partner and as an iPSC expert, Evotec has exceeded all our expectations and Dr. Dohrmanns appointment to Sernovas Board adds significant regenerative medicine depth and cell therapy expertise. Todays announcement of this joint iPSC beta-cell partnership completes the three pillars of our diabetes cell therapy platform. Alongside our clinically validated Cell Pouch System and recently acquired conformal coating immune protection technology, this now establishes a total regenerative medicine cell therapy solution for insulin-dependent diabetes.

Dr. Cord Dohrmann, Chief Scientific Officer of Evotec, commented, We searched long and hard for the right partner. Sernova clearly ticks all boxes with their clinically validated Cell Pouch technology, which fits perfectly to Evotecs iPSC-based beta cells. Together we will progress a highly differentiated first-in-class beta cell therapy into clinical development with the common goal to bring a truly transformative therapy to insulin-dependent diabetic patients. The synergies of Evotecs and Sernovas technologies puts Sernova in position to become the worlds leader in beta cell replacement therapy. Our equity investment underlines our strategic interest in this collaboration with Sernova. I am very much looking forward to collaborating with Sernova on the project as well as contributing to their Board of Directors.

Sernova has acquired an option for an exclusive global license to Evotecs Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC)-based Beta cells to treat patients with insulin-dependent diabetes. From an operational perspective, the preclinical development program(s) will be jointly funded by Sernova and Evotec until IND acceptance. Sernova has the right to exercise its option for an exclusive global license upon IND filing. Evotec will contribute its cell manufacturing capabilities through research, development and product commercialization and will decide in the future on the joint funding of clinical development. Upon commercialization, there will be a profit-sharing arrangement between the two companies, with the split being dependent on Evotecs participation in funding the clinical development program.

ABOUT EVOTEC AND iPSC

Induced pluripotent stem cells (also known as iPS cells or iPSCs) are a type of pluripotent stem cell that can be generated directly from adult cells. The iPSC technology was pioneered by Shinya Yamanakas lab in Kyoto, Japan, who showed in 2006 that the introduction of four specific genes encoding transcription factors could convert adult cells into pluripotent stem cells. He was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize along with Sir John Gurdon for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent. Pluripotent stem cells hold great promise in the field of regenerative medicine. Because they can propagate indefinitely, as well as give rise to every other cell type in the body (such as neurons, heart, pancreatic and liver cells), they represent a single source of cells that could be used to replace those lost to damage or disease.

Evotec has built an industrialised iPSC infrastructure that represents one of the largest and most sophisticated iPSC platforms in the industry. Evotecs iPSC platform has been developed over the last years with the goal to industrialise iPSC-based drug screening in terms of throughput, reproducibility and robustness to reach the highest industrial standards, and to use iPSC-based cells in cell therapy approaches via the Companys proprietary EVOcells platform.

Global Surgical Mesh Market Is Estimated To Be Valued At US$ 1.29 Bn In 2022, And Is Forecast To Surpass US$ 2.2 Bn Valuation By The End Of 2032

Sales of surgical meshes are expected to account for more than 21 Mn units by 2032-end, owing to their increasing application in untapped markets, says a Fact.MR analyst.

Fact.MR A Market Research and Competitive Intelligence Provider: The global surgical mesh market is estimated to exceed a valuation of US$ 1.29 Bn in 2022, and expand at a significant CAGR of 5.5% by value over the assessment period (2022-2032).

The availability of surgical meshes in absorbable and non-absorbable forms has expanded their application for temporary as well as permanent reinforcement. In recent years, demand for surgical meshes has escalated in aiding breast reconstruction as they reduce the exposure risk of the implant. Increasing health literacy in North America and Europe will create ample opportunities for surgical mesh manufacturers over the coming years.

Sedentary lifestyle and increasing obesity among the population have resulted in several chronic health issues. The consequent weakening of the muscles extends space for organ prolapse and hernia. Putting these organs back in place by stitching the muscles together can result in muscle tearing and the recurrence of prolapse. However, reinforcing the weakened muscles with the help of a surgical mesh has shown to decrease recurrence and increase the longevity of the repair.

Growing scope of Genetic Medicine and Stem Cell Research – The Hindu

Various career paths are available in the field of Genetic Medicine and Stem Cell Research Various career paths are available in the field of Genetic Medicine and Stem Cell Research

Among the various streams of science and medicine that have evolved with time, stem cell research and genetic medicine have risen as top contenders for various path-breaking discoveries. The treatment of more than 1,800 known monogenic hereditary disorders today, depends on the development of genetic medicines coupled with advanced stem cell research.

The field of genetic medicine comprises many areas, including the clinical practice of physicians, genetic counsellors and nutritionists, clinical diagnostic laboratory activities, and research into the causes and inheritance of genetic disorders. Simply put, it incorporates areas such as gene therapy, personalised medicine, and the rapidly emerging new medical speciality, including predictive medicine.

Stem cells are basically adaptable and versatile cells in ones body that are capable of complex actions, unlike conventional medication. These cells exist both in embryos and adult cells and can differentiate into any cell of an organism with the ability of self-renewal. Stem cell therapy uses these cells to treat or prevent a disease or condition. Also known as regenerative medicine, it promotes the repair response of diseased, dysfunctional or injured tissue using stem cells or their derivatives.

Amid a prevailing global healthcare crisis, stem cell research and genetic medicine have given us hope. The former was and continues to be an integral part of research conducted to treat COVID-19 symptoms, and genome sequencing has been extensively employed globally to analyse mutations and variations of the virus. In the coming years, the industry is only expected to grow.

Also, there is a general misconception that only people with medical education can take up jobs in these fields. This is not completely true because students who have studied Biology, B.Sc. graduates with at least one subject of the Biological Sciences, MBBS, B.Pharma, B.D.S., B.V.Sc. or B.E. Biotechnology students are eligible too.

Possible career options include Clinical geneticist, Genetic Counsellor, Clinical Researcher, Research Scientist, Biochemical Diagnostics Professional, Biomedical Research Assistant, Biomedical Technician, Cancer Research Scientist, Biomedical Engineer, Molecular Genetics Professional, Laboratory Technician, and Laboratory Director.

Sana Biotechnology Presents Data at ISSCR 2022 Annual Meeting Showing Survival of Transplanted Hypoimmune iPSC-Derived Differentiated Cell Types…

Sana Biotechnology, Inc

First demonstration of the survival of allogeneic islet cells, cardiomyocytes, and retinal pigment epithelium cells transplanted into an immunocompetent non-human primate model without any immune suppression

The islet autoimmune data suggest that cells with hypoimmune (HIP) edits evade allogeneic immune response and autoimmune response in a type 1 diabetes mouse model

Transplanting allogeneic cells into a non-human primate without immune suppression represents a key step toward development of engineered cells for the treatment of disease

SEATTLE, June 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sana Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ: SANA), a company focused on creating and delivering engineered cells as medicines, presented data showing survival of transplanted allogeneic, hypoimmune cells of several different types in a variety of locations in non-human primates (NHPs). The transplanted cells were induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells, and islet cells, which were engineered to include Sanas hypoimmune gene modifications that enable immune evasion. Data were presented by Sonja Schrepfer, M.D., Ph.D., Head of Hypoimmune Platform at Sana, during sessions at the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) 2022 Annual Meeting taking place from Wednesday, June 15 through Sunday, June 19 in San Francisco.

These data, demonstrating that three types of transplanted cells are able to survive and function in NHPs without immunosuppression, highlight the transformative potential of Sanas hypoimmune platform across a number of different cell types that can address a variety of diseases, said Steve Harr, Sanas President and Chief Executive Officer. As an example, the use of allogeneic islet transplant has had limited success in treating type 1 diabetes due to morbidities from the necessary immunosuppression. In contrast, our data indicate that we successfully engineered HIP human pancreatic islet cells to evade immune recognition, and these cells persisted and normalized glucose levels in in vivo models. We are applying the hypoimmune platform to a number of programs in our pipeline, including SC291, our CD19 targeted allogeneic CAR T therapy for blood cancers, with a goal of an IND this year, and SC451, our islet cell program with a goal of an IND for the treatment of type 1 diabetes in 2023.

Story continues

Transplanting cells or tissues from a donor to a different recipient currently requires intense immunosuppression to prevent rejection of the transplant. Sanas HIP platform goal is to eliminate the need for immunosuppression by cloaking cells from immune recognition. The platform includes disruption of the major histocompatibility (MHC) class I and MHC class II expression to hide cells from the adaptive immune system, which includes antibody and T cell responses. These changes alone make cells susceptible to innate immune cell killing, in particular by natural killer (NK) cells. However, Sanas HIP platform additionally provides for evasion from innate cell killing, including via the overexpression of CD47, a molecule that protects HIP-modified cells from innate cell killing involving either NK cells or macrophages. HIP-modified pluripotent stem cells can serve as the starting material for the differentiation of specialized cell types to serve as cell-based therapeutics. Sanas goal is to use these HIP-modified cells to replace damaged or missing cells in the body in a number of different diseases, including, among others, cancer, type 1 diabetes, and cardiac disease.

Survival of HIP-modified islet cells for type 1 diabetes

Primary NHP pancreatic islet cells In this study, allogeneic primary pancreatic islet cells were HIP edited and transplanted intramuscularly into a healthy NHP without immunosuppression (n=1) as proof-of-concept. Islet cell survival was followed by in vivo bioluminescence imaging. The imaging showed that transplanted cells survived for the duration of the study (three months at data lock) with no evidence of a systemic immune response, including no T cell activation, antibody production, or NK cell activity as seen previously with other HIP edited cell types in NHPs (iPSC, cardiomyocytes, and RPE). Allogeneic unmodified primary pancreatic islet cells disappeared rapidly within 2 weeks.

Autoimmune mice Type 1 diabetes is a disease in which the patients immune system attacks and kills their pancreatic beta cells. Therefore, allogeneic transplanted cells in type 1 diabetes need to overcome both allogeneic and autoimmune rejection. Autoimmune diabetes arises spontaneously in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, and the pathophysiology of this disease shares many similarities with human type 1 diabetes. Since its development in 1980, this model has represented the gold standard of spontaneous disease models, allowing for investigation of autoimmune diabetes disease progression and susceptibility traits, as well as to test a wide array of potential treatments and therapies.

In this study, syngeneic or allogeneic mouse islet cells were transplanted intramuscularly without immunosuppression into diabetic autoimmune mice (n=15), split into three cohorts. The first cohort received unmodified syngeneic islet cells, the second cohort received unmodified allogeneic islet cells, and the third cohort received allogeneic HIP islet cells. The unmodified cells disappeared rapidly in the allogeneic setting (within 10 days) as well as in the syngeneic setting (within two weeks) due to autoimmune recognition. Neither cohort had a decrease in glucose levels. The HIP islet cells survived in all five diabetic mice for the duration of the study (one month at data lock), and glucose levels dropped, demonstrating therapeutic function of the HIP islet cells.

Survival of HIP-modified cardiomyocytes (iPSC-derived) In this study, allogeneic iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes were transplanted without immunosuppression into the hearts of healthy NHPs split into two cohorts. The first cohort received unmodified allogeneic iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (WT; n=2), while the second cohort received allogeneic HIP iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (HIP; n=4). The unmodified cells were almost eliminated in all NHPs, with significant T cell activation in addition to antibody production and binding. The HIP cardiomyocytes survived in all four monkeys for the duration of the study (up to two months at data lock), and there was no evidence of a systemic immune response, including no T cell activation, antibody production, or NK cell activity. After two months, injection sites were recovered, and local immune cells were analyzed for their donor-specific cell recognition and killing. While local immune cells kill unmodified cardiomyocytes, HIP cardiomyocytes were not recognized by these immune cells.

Survival of HIP-modified retinal pigmental epithelial (RPE) cells (iPSC-derived) In this study, allogeneic iPSC-derived RPEs were transplanted into the eye of healthy NHPs without immunosuppression split into two cohorts. The first cohort received unmodified allogeneic iPSC-derived RPE (WT; n=3), while the second cohort received allogeneic HIP iPSC-derived RPE (HIP; n=3). The unmodified cells were almost completely eliminated in all NHPs within three weeks, with significant T cell activation, antibody production and local microglial activation, demonstrating in this context that the eye is not an immunoprivileged site.

The HIP RPE survived in all three monkeys for the duration of the study (three weeks at data lock), and there was no evidence of a systemic immune response, including no T cell activation, antibody production, microglial or NK cell activity. Two weeks after the initial dose, the NHPs were re-injected with the same cell type into the second eye, so that the NHPs received a total of two doses. Unmodified WT RPEs again evoked a rapid systemic immune response in all NHPs, with activation of T cells and antibody production, and cells almost completely eliminate within one week. HIP RPE cells continued to survive even after re-injection without stimulation of adaptive or innate immune responses. These data suggest the potential to re-administer HIP RPE cells.

Sana intends to submit the data behind its presentations for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

About Hypoimmune Platform Sanas hypoimmune platform is designed to create cells ex vivo that can hide from the patients immune system to enable the transplant of allogeneic cells without the need for immunosuppression. We are applying the hypoimmune technology to both pluripotent stem cells, which can then be differentiated into multiple cell types, and to donor-derived allogeneic T cells, with the goal of making potent and persistent CAR T cells at scale. Preclinical data demonstrates across a variety of cell types that these transplanted allogeneic cells are able to evade both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system while retaining their activity. Our most advanced programs utilizing this platform include an allogeneic CAR T program targeting CD19+ cancers and stem-cell derived beta islet cells for patients with type 1 diabetes.
