SENTI-202 is a Logic Gated CAR NK cell therapy designed to target CD33 and/or FLT3 positive hematologic malignancies including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). To achieve deeper & longer remissions, SENTI-202 was designed to also target leukemic stem cells (LSCs), which are often FLT3+ (+/-CD33+), while enabling long-term multilineage hematopoiesis by maintaining a healthy HSPC population. The SENTI-202 Logic Gated Gene Circuit therefore includes an inhibitory CAR recognizing EMCN (expressed by healthy HSPCs, rarely by AML) to protect HSPCs from potential SENTI-202 mediated off-tumor on-target toxicity even if they express CD33 and/or FLT3 & enable post-treatment hematopoietic recovery. Here, we report preliminary correlative data evaluating hematopoietic cell fractions in peripheral blood (PB) & bone marrow (BM) from 9 treated relapsed/refractory (R/R) AML patients with available data from the ongoing study (April 9th, 2025). Efficacy and clinical results were presented at AACR abstract # CT014 (oral minisymposium # CTMS01).

SENTI-202 Pharmacokinetics: SENTI-202 is Detected in All Treated Patients Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis of SENTI-202 in trial subjects. SENTI-202 was detected in all treated subjects, with data shown from (a) Cycle 1 and (b) Cycle 2. SENTI-202 PK profile was consistent with allogeneic NK cell therapy with cells detected in the first 2 weeks in periphery followed by clearance thereafter. (c) PK parameters were analyzed and showed no significant differences in exposure between Schedule I dose levels 1 and 2, or cycles 1 and 2. Estimated LLOQ assumes equivalent DNA loading for each reaction. Note: Subject 1 Cycle 1 samples were processed out of stability window and are excluded from analysis of PK parameters.

Note: Subject 3 had a more stem/progenitor-like AML, expressing stem-associated markers (CD34+, CD90+, EMCN+) and mutant TP53, that did not respond to treatment. Subject 3 AML was also 43% EMCN+ (EMCN is rarely expressed in AML). Subject AML heterogeneity The SENTI-202-101 clinical trial enrolled subjects with heterogenous AML profiles.

(b) Cell cycle analysis of CD34+CD38low LSCs, defined by Ki67 and IdU: Ki67- = G0, Ki67+ IdU- = G1, IdU+ = S. Cell cycle analysis determined that most LSCs in treated subjects were quiescent at baseline, and therefore not expected to be eliminated by lymphodepleting chemotherapy such as fludarabine/ cytarabine. (c) LSCs identified in subject bone marrow were shown to express CD33 and FLT3, and can therefore be targeted by SENTI-202. (d) AML blast reduction (measured locally by flow cytometry) was noted in a majority of subjects across all dosing cohorts. LSCs in responders were identified by two different methods: (e) CD34+CD38low and (f) GPR56+, and their proportions in subject bone marrow were shown to decrease at least 10- fold after SENTI-202 treatment. * Subject 5 samples in (e) and (f) had low viability. G0 G1 S phase Time (days) Time (days) SUMMARY cCR TBD PD ORR SD •AML blast reduction was observed in a majority of subjects. 5/7 subjects evaluable for best overall response had blast reduction by CyTOF consistent with clinical response of CR or CRh (composite CR or cCR) or MLFS. 4/4 cCR patients were MRD- as assessed locally, 2/3 in preliminary RP2D cohort. •SENTI-202 was detected in all treated subjects, with comparable PK to other CAR NK cell therapies. •AML in subjects enrolled on the SENTI-202-101 clinical trial was proteomically and mutationally heterogenous, with a unique genetic and proteomic signature for each subject. All subjects expressed CD33 (range 28-99%), and 3/4 cCR subjects expressed FLT3 (range 5-46%). Most LSCs were in G0/G1 at baseline and were not expected to be eliminated by Flu/Ara-C. •In subjects achieving cCR: •A >10-fold decrease in LSCs was observed. •HSPCs were either increased or maintained after SENTI-202 treatment. EMCN+ HSPCs were detectable throughout treatment and differentiated into normal hematopoietic lineages during response. Multiple immune populations were increased in peripheral blood after SENTI-202 treatment. •Correlative data collected during the SENTI-202-101 clinical trial affirms the anti-leukemic effects of SENTI-202 in responders, as well as the repopulation of immune cell subpopulations post-treatment. The observed effects are consistent with the pharmacodynamic action of the Logic Gate in SENTI-202 in sparing EMCN+ HSPCs while selectively killing CD33+ and/or FLT3+ AML tumor cells.

(b) CyTOF analysis identified cell populations in the classical hematopoietic differentiation hierarchy in healthy and diseased samples.
