About Sensei Biotherapeutics
Sensei Biotherapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development, and delivery of next-generation immunotherapies with an initial focus on cancer treatments. Sensei has developed two unique approaches – its TMAb (Tumor Microenvironment Activated biologics) platform, comprising unique human monoclonal antibodies and alpaca derived nanobodies that are selectively active in the tumor microenvironment, and its ImmunoPhage platform that leverages bacteriophage to drive the generation of tumor antigen-specific immune responses. Using its TMAb platform, the company has developed SNS-101, an antibody-based therapeutic targeting an immune checkpoint gene that inhibits anti-tumor immune responses called V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation. Using the ImmunoPhage platform, Sensei is developing a library of ImmunoPhage, called Phortress, with multiple tumor-associated antigens to create a personalized, yet off-the-shelf cocktail approach for treating cancer patients. The platform is designed to enable efficient, scalable, and cost-effective manufacturing to support all of Sensei’s clinical programs. SNS-401-NG is an ImmunoPhage cocktail in preclinical development for the treatment of Merkel Cell Carcinoma.
