Sensei Biotherapeutics Reports Favorable Clinical Data for SNS-101 at 2023 SITC Annual Meeting

- Clinical dose escalation data for SNS-101 monotherapy show well tolerated safety profile, potentially best-in-class pharmacokinetics, and encouraging cytokine release profile across multiple dose cohorts -

- First VISTA-blocking antibody administered at a dose anticipated to be therapeutically relevant without eliciting dose-limiting toxicity -

- Monotherapy data from Phase 1/2 study to be presented in a late-breaking poster presentation at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) Annual Meeting -

BOSTON, MA – November 03, 2023 – Sensei Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNSE), a clinical stage immuno-oncology company focused on the discovery and development of next-generation therapeutics for cancer patients, today reported initial data from the monotherapy dose-escalation portion of its Phase 1/2 clinical trial for SNS-101, a conditionally active, human monoclonal antibody targeting the immune checkpoint VISTA (V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation). The data, to be presented in a late-breaker poster presentation at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) 38^th Annual Meeting, suggest a potential best-in-class safety and pharmacokinetic profile among VISTA blocking antibodies and the potential to overcome long-standing pharmacological challenges encountered by first generation approaches to blocking VISTA.

“We are pleased to report favorable clinical data for SNS-101, a pioneering VISTA-blocking antibody that provides validation of our conditionally active approach. The data support that this highly innovative antibody is well tolerated across dose levels tested to date, shows linear, dose-dependent pharmacokinetics predicted preclinically to elicit immune-mediated anti-tumor activity, and a cytokine profile consistent with an absence of cytokine release syndrome,” said John Celebi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sensei Biotherapeutics. “Data from this clinical study to date provides important initial evidence that SNS-101 can provide clinically meaningful and mechanistic differentiation from first generation anti-VISTA approaches, as indicated by SNS-101 dose levels that are at least 10 times higher than the first clinical study of a competitor VISTA antibody that was prematurely halted due to cytokine release syndrome and poor pharmacokinetics. We believe this represents a foundational clinical achievement in the pursuit of a transformational VISTA-blocking antibody, and we look forward to building on this success with additional data readouts, including efficacy analysis, expected next year.”

The multi-center Phase 1/2 clinical trial is a dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of SNS-101 as both a monotherapy and in combination with Regeneron’s PD-1 inhibitor Libtayo^® (cemiplimab) in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Summary of reported data (as of the October 3, 2023 cutoff date):

 

•

A total of 13 patients were enrolled in the study.

 

•

In the monotherapy dose escalation arm, ten patients were enrolled across four dosing cohorts receiving SNS-101 treatment at 0.3, 1, 3, or 10 mg/kg.

 

•

In the combination arm, three patients were enrolled at the first dose level of 3.0 mg/kg of SNS-101 plus 350 mg of Libtayo® (cemiplimab).

---

•

Safety, cytokine expression and pharmacokinetic data were presented for seven patients from the first three monotherapy cohorts, all of which have cleared the dose-limiting toxicity assessment period.

 

•

A total of 11 adverse events (including one serious adverse event not considered related to SNS-101) was reported in five patients, with no dose-limiting toxicities observed. Only one adverse event (Grade 2 dermatitis acneiform) was considered related to SNS-101.

 

•

There were no instances of cytokine release syndrome and no significant changes in key inflammatory cytokines over time, consistent with preclinical studies.

 

•

Pharmacokinetic data demonstrate dose-proportional exposure consistent with lack of target mediated drug disposition, no notable accumulation with repeat dosing, and linear elimination kinetics of SNS-101, in concordance with preclinical data.

“Too many patients remain underserved by existing immunotherapies. SNS-101 highlights the potential of targeting VISTA through an innovative concept, thoughtful approach and a well-executed study as Sensei has done,” said Shiraj Sen, M.D., Ph.D., a medical oncologist at NEXT Oncology and investigator on the Phase 1/2 SNS-101 clinical trial. “I’m encouraged by the patient experience so far in the SNS-101 trial, including a potentially best-in-class safety profile and an every-three-week dosing schedule that helps alleviate the logistical burden imposed on patients by agents requiring more frequent administration due to their unfavorable PK profiles.”

Sensei expects to report initial safety and pharmacokinetic combination data in Q1 2024, with topline monotherapy data in Q2 2024, and topline combination data in 2024.

Lack of Tumor Targeting is a Major Obstacle to IO Innovation Industry Problem Sensei’s Solution Conventional antibodies target immune checkpoints that are highly expressed in normal tissues, resulting in: Dose-limiting toxicities due to on-target/off-tumor action Pharmacological sink effect requires higher and more frequent dosing Suboptimal activity due to poor PK and dose-limiting toxicities Conditionally active antibodies are selectively targeted to the tumor microenvironment, potentially providing: Little or no toxicity due to selective on-target/on-tumor action Lower and less frequent doses by avoiding normal tissue binding Powerful activity selectively focused on the tumor microenvironment Only one new checkpoint inhibitor has been approved since the original CTLA-4 and PD-1/PD-L1 group Ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4) Pembrolizumab (anti-PD-1) Relatlimab (anti-LAG-3) 2011 2014 2022

Commercially Validated Precedent for pH-sensitive Approach Soliris (Eculizumab) KD pH 7.4 (nM) 0.03 KD pH 6.0 (nM) 0.6 t½ (d) 3.9 Ultomiris (Ravulizumab, ALXN1210) 0.49 22 13.4 Due to its longer half-life (13.4 d vs 3.9 d), ravulizumab given every 8 weeks achieved noninferiority compared with eculizumab given every 2 weeks for all efficacy endpoints, while maintaining a similar safety profile. 2018: FDA approves Ultomiris® (ravulizumab, ALXN1210) 2020: Ultomiris sales = $1.08 billion  Revulizumab utilized histidine insertions into the CDR regions (VH_Y27H, VH_S57H) and Fc substitutions (M428L, N434S) of eculizumab Soliris® (eculizumab), an anti-C5 monoclonal antibody (mAb), was considered standard of care for patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, but had a short half-life as a result of extensive TMDD. Engineering eculizumab using histidine substitutions resulted in a pH-sensitive mAb with markedly improved half-life.

Targeting VISTA and PD-1 Checkpoints in the TME Promotes Anti-tumoral M1 Macrophage Polarization M1 macrophages are anti-tumorigenic through secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and driving of Th1 CD4+ T cell responses M2 macrophages are immunosuppressive; pro-tumor TAMs are a subset of M2-type cells SNS-101 targets suppressive signaling in the myeloid compartment, and in combination with anti-PD-1 may help shift the balance of macrophage polarization toward an anti-tumor M1 phenotype
