About SG293
SG293, which uses Sana’s proprietary fusogen-based delivery technology, is a CD8-targeted fusosome that delivers to CD8+ T cells the genetic material to make CD19-directed CAR T cells while avoiding potentially troublesome delivery to tissues such as the liver. The fusogen technology is designed to enable cell-specific delivery of material that integrates into the DNA of the target cell. Sana intends to explore SG293 in both B-cell cancers and B-cell mediated autoimmune diseases.
