Current report
We currently have one investigational product candidate, SNS-101, in clinical development.
Current report
To further our objective of generating clinical data that informs both the optimal dose and patient population for Phase 2 studies, including comprehensive data from patients with both primary and acquired resistance to PD-1 inhibitors, we expect to report clinical data across two dose levels in multiple tumor types in the first half of 2025.
Current report
In October 2024, we received preliminary guidance from the FDA on the dose optimization strategy for SNS-101. We plan to reengage with the agency following completion of the dose expansion portion of the Phase 1 clinical trial.
Current report
In November 2024, we announced a plan to decrease operating expenses, streamline operations and focus resources on advancing the clinical development of SNS-101. As a result, we will close our research site in Rockville, Maryland, reduce our workforce by approximately 46%, with most headcount reductions affecting our preclinical research and development group, and pause further development of our preclinical product candidates, including SNS-102, SNS-103 and SNS-201. With this realignment of resources, we expect our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second quarter of 2026. We plan to continue reviewing our financial resources with the expectation that work on our preclinical product candidates will resume if we raise sufficient additional capital.

We currently have four investigational product candidates in various stages of early development:
Previous report
As of the April 30, 2024 data cutoff:
Previous report
SNS-101 was well tolerated alone and in combination with cemiplimab, with no dose-limiting toxicities observed. The majority of AEs were Grade 1 or 2 in severity. Two patients experienced Grade 1 cytokine release syndrome (CRS), one in monotherapy and one in combination, both at the highest dose of SNS-101. Both cases were mild and manageable, demonstrating that SNS-101 has the potential to overcome a key hurdle that hindered first-generation VISTA-targeting approaches. Four patients in the combination cohort experienced immune-mediated events. There were also no significant changes to key inflammatory cytokine levels, including interferon gamma, interleukin-6, interleukin-10, interleukin-8, TNF-alpha, and CCL5-RANTES, across cohorts.
Previous report
SNS-101 demonstrated a potentially best-in-class pharmacokinetic (PK) profile with linear elimination kinetics and dose-proportional increases in exposure, supporting once every three week dosing.
Previous report
One microsatellite stable (MSS) endometrial cancer patient that received SNS-101 plus cemiplimab had a confirmed partial response (59% decrease) and as of April 30, 2024 remained on study at 30+ weeks; one MSS colorectal cancer patient that received SNS-101 plus cemiplimab remained on study for 18 weeks and had tumor regression of 27%; one pembrolizumab-resistant renal cell carcinoma patient that received SNS-101 plus cemiplimab remained on study for 12 weeks and had tumor regression of 18%; and one pembrolizumab-resistant human papillomavirus (HPV)+ head and neck cancer patient that received SNS-101 as monotherapy remained on study for 12 weeks and had tumor regression of 17%.
Previous report
We expect to report initial data from the dose expansion cohorts and hold an end-of-Phase 1 meeting with the FDA by the end of 2024.
Previous report
SNS-102 is our conditionally active monoclonal antibody targeting VSIG4 (V-Set and Immunoglobulin Domain Containing 4), an immune checkpoint often expressed on macrophages. We have selected a product candidate that is 585-fold more selective for VSIG4 at low pH conditions. Various potential counter-receptors have been provisionally identified and are currently in the process of being refined and confirmed.
Previous report
SNS-103 is our conditionally active monoclonal antibody targeting ENTPDase1 (ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-1), also known as CD39. In 2023, we selected a product candidate from a set of lead-optimized antibodies.
Previous report
SNS-201 is a bispecific antibody that is being designed to conditionally activate Cluster of Differentiation 28 (CD28). It is a bispecific format with monovalent CD28 engagement and bivalent pH-selective VISTA binding for efficient engagement at low pH. In 2023, we selected a product candidate from a set of lead-optimized bispecific antibodies.
Previous report
In January 2024, we announced the expansion of the Phase 1/2 clinical trial of SNS-101 to include additional patients in a more focused set of indications. Prior to initiating the Phase 2 portion, we now plan to enroll up to an aggregate of 50 to 70 additional patients across both the monotherapy and combination arms to further optimize the Phase 2 trial design. In connection with the expansion of the Phase 1/2 trial of SNS-101, we paused the IND-enabling studies originally planned for our next TMAb product candidate. With this realignment of resources, we expect our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the fourth quarter of 2025. Preclinical work on our TMAb product candidates to characterize selected lead antibodies, including their mechanisms of action, and target biology is expected to continue throughout 2024. We plan to continue reviewing our financial resources with the expectation that IND-enabling studies for additional TMAb product candidates will resume if we raise sufficient additional capital.
Previous report
continue the research and development of our other product candidates and prepare to submit INDs for such candidates;

Reworded paragraphs (22)
Previous wording
We are an immuno-oncology company focused on the discovery and development of next-generation therapeutics for cancer patients. Through our TMAb™ (Tumor Microenvironment Activated Biologics) platform, we are developing highly selective therapeutics designed to disable immunosuppressive signals or activate immunostimulatory signals selectively in the tumor microenvironment. Our strategy is to generate novel product candidates that incorporate next-generation technologies or approaches using our robust set of R&D capabilities. We plan to efficiently develop these product candidates by incorporating state-of-the-art biomarker approaches and mechanistic understanding into clinical trial designs targeted to well-defined patient populations.

In May 2024, we presented clinical data from the dose escalation portion of the trial at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL. Data were presented from a total of 34 patients who received SNS-101 once every 3 weeks, with 16 patients in the monotherapy arm and 18 patients in the combination arm. The majority of patients (85%) had a tumor type that is typically unresponsive to PD-1 monotherapy.

Previous wording
Our direct external research and development expenses consist primarily of external costs, such as fees paid to CROs, CMOs, research/testing laboratories and outside consultants in connection with our preclinical development, process development, manufacturing and clinical development activities. We do not allocate these costs to specific product candidates because many of them are deployed across several of our development programs and, as such, are not separately classified. We use internal resources primarily to conduct research and manage our preclinical development, process development, manufacturing and clinical development activities. These employees work across multiple development programs and, therefore, we do not track their costs by program and, as such, are not separately classified. Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. We expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly over the next several years as we increase personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, conduct our preclinical studies and clinical trials, and prepare regulatory filings for our product candidates.
