FDA Clears IND for SC262 for Patients with R/R B-cell Malignancies
“Patients who have failed a CD19-directed CAR T therapy represent a significant unmet need, and this population is growing as more patients receive these therapies,” said Doug Williams, PhD, Sana’s President of Research and Development. “SC262 represents an important potential option for these patients and is the next step in building Sana’s hypoimmune CAR T therapy platform. Over the past twelve months, Sana has received three IND regulatory clearances, as well as supported the authorization of an investigator-sponsored CTA, to begin new studies utilizing our hypoimmune platform in seven different indications in oncology, B-cell mediated autoimmune diseases, and type 1 diabetes. We look forward to presenting data from all of these studies this year, including initial proof of concept data for SC262 later this year.”
