About

Sensei Biotherapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and delivery of next generation of immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. The company has developed a proprietary phage-based platform, ImmunoPhage™, that enables the rapid generation of immune activating agents that fully engage the immune system. Using its proprietary ImmunoPhage™ platform, Sensei is developing a library of ImmunoPhage called Phortress™ targeting multiple tumor associated antigens to treat patients using a personalized yet off the shelf cocktail approach. The platform enables efficient, scalable and cost-effective manufacturing to support all clinical programs. Its most advanced program, SNS-301, a first-in-class ImmunoPhage™ targeting Aspartyl beta Hydroxylase (ASPH) in advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN), is currently enrolling patients in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial. Its earlier stage programs include SNS-401, a ImmunoPhage™ cocktail for the treatment of Merkel Cell Carcinoma and SNS-VISTA, antibody-based therapeutic targeting V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA). The company brings together scientific leaders in biology, immunology, and oncology along with a highly experienced management team and scientific advisors.
