New data to be presented from Company’s lead product candidate SENTI-202 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (r/r AML) development program
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Senti Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNTI) (“Senti Bio” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing next-generation cell and gene therapies using its proprietary Gene Circuit platform, today announced that three abstracts have been selected for an oral minisymposium and poster presentations at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2025, taking place April 25-30, 2025, at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago, IL.
Kanya Rajangam, MD, PhD, President, Head of R&D and Chief Medical Officer of Senti Bio commented, “We are excited to present updated clinical and correlative data from our ongoing SENTI-202 trial, along with detailed preclinical characterization of our Logic Gate technology. The preclinical data shows the EMCN inhibitory CAR (our NOT gate) protects healthy bone marrow cells from on-target off-tumor toxicity in vivo. Taken together, this data continues to support our enthusiasm for the potential of SENTI-202 to treat r/r AML and for Logic Gating, including our unique NOT gates, to be broadly applied to oncology to enhance the selective targeting of cancer while sparing healthy cells that may express the same targets.”

About Senti Bio
Senti Bio is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a new generation of cell and gene therapies for patients living with incurable diseases. To achieve this, Senti Bio is leveraging a synthetic biology platform called Gene Circuits to create therapies with enhanced precision and control. These Gene Circuits are designed to precisely kill cancer cells, spare healthy cells, increase specificity to target cells and control the expression of drugs even after administration. Senti Bio’s wholly-owned pipeline includes off-the-shelf CAR-NK cells, outfitted with Gene Circuits, to target challenging liquid and solid tumor indications. Senti Bio’s lead program SENTI-202, a Logic Gated CD33 and/or FLT3-targeting hematologic cancer therapeutic candidate, demonstrated MRD-negative complete remissions in 2 of 3 patients in initial clinical data as of September 19, 2024, with 6+ month durability as of March 20, 2025. Senti Bio has also preclinically demonstrated that its Gene Circuits can function in T cells, for example Logic Gates that enable selective targeting of solid tumors. Additionally, Senti Bio has preclinically demonstrated the potential breadth of Gene Circuits in other cell and gene therapy modalities, diseases outside of oncology, and continues to advance these capabilities through partnerships.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains certain statements that are not historical facts and are considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
