ABOUT SERNOVA AND ITS CELL POUCH SYSTEM PLATFORM FOR CELL THERAPY

Sernova Corp. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that is developing therapeutic cell technologies for chronic diseases, including insulin-dependent diabetes and thyroid disease. Sernova is currently focused on developing a 'functional cure' for insulindependent diabetes with its lead technology, the Cell Pouch System, a novel implantable and scalable medical device with immune protected therapeutic cells. On implantation, The Cell Pouch forms a natural, vascularized tissue environment in the body allowing long- term survival and function of therapeutic cells that release essential factors that are absent or deficient in patients with certain chronic diseases. Sernova's Cell Pouch System has demonstrated its potential to be a 'functional cure' for people with T1D in an ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical study at the University of Chicago. Sernova is collaborating with Evotec to develop an implantable off-the-shelf iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cells) based islet replacement therapy. This partnership is expected to provide Sernova a potentially unlimited supply of insulin-producing cells to treat millions of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes (type 1 and type 2). Sernova's Cell Pouch System development pipeline also includes a cell therapy for hypothyroid disease resulting from thyroid gland removal, and an ex vivo lentiviral Factor VIII gene therapy for hemophilia A.
