SanBio Company Limited Announces the Results of the First Commercial Production Run of AKUUGO SanBio Co. Ltd. announced on July 31, 2024, that it had obtained conditional and time-limited approval for AKUUGO suspension for intracranial implantation from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and that it planned to conduct about two commercial production runs to meet the shipment conditions required under this approval. They hereby provide the results of the first production run. The first production run did not meet the specification standards. However, only one specification value was non-compliant, while all other specification values, including the yield--a key issue identified during the approval review process--were compliant. Moreover, the results of the characterization analysis were equivalent to those of the clinical trials product. They anticipated some non-conforming products due to batch-to-batch variability arising from the heterogeneity of cells, a critical raw material for AKUUGO®, and they consider the non-conformity of the first manufacturing lot to be within expectations. Regarding the outlook, since the manufacturing process has already been established and approved, they have commenced the second production run. After obtaining manufacturing results that conform to the specifications for the second time, they will file an application for a partial change and aim to obtain approval for the subsequent partial change. As a result, the expected timeline for completing the two commercial production runs required to begin shipments of AKUUGO® has been delayed by a quarter, from the first quarter of the fiscal year ending January 2026 (February-April 2025) to the second quarter of the same fiscal year (May-July 2025). This matter will have only a minimal impact on the financial performance of the current fiscal year. Aankondiging • Oct 29

SanBio Company Announces Update on Status of Manufacturing and Marketing Approval for SB623 Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Program in Japan Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) on July 20 announced that the Regenerative Medicine Subcommittee (lower panel of Pharmaceutical Affairs and Food Sanitation Council) meeting will be held on August 3. SanBio's SB623, currently undergoing review in the Sakigake Designation System for the treatment of traumatic brain injury, is not included in the topic of deliberations. SanBio's corporate policy is to refrain from setting or disclosing a target timing for approval, as there are many factors outside of the company's control. Do recognize that, based on public perceptions regarding the Sakigake Designation System, there may be expectations for a September approval among patients and family members as well as shareholders and investors. Had SB623 been included in the meeting agenda, a September approval was a possibility. Now believe that a September approval is unlikely. Pledge to work diligently as one team to facilitate the review of this truly innovative product to ensure the swiftest possible regulatory approval and achieve SanBio's first to market. Take this opportunity to reassure all stakeholders that work continues steadily to ensure that not a day is wasted in bringing approval to reality. SB623 (INN: vandefitemcel) is a human (allogeneic) bone marrow-derived modified mesenchymal stem cell that is produced by modifying and culturing mesenchymal stem cells derived from the bone marrow aspirate of healthy adults. Implantation of SB623 cells into injured nerve tissues in the brain is expected to trigger the brain's natural regenerative ability to restore lost functions. SB623 is currently being investigated for the treatment of several conditions including chronic neurological motor deficit resulting from traumatic brain injury and ischemic stroke.

SanBio Company Limited Announces Publication of STEMTRA Phase 2 Interim Analysis for SB623 in Neurology The SanBio Group announced that the interim analysis from the Company's SB623 Phase 2 clinical "STEM cell therapy for TRAumatic brain injury" (STEMTRA) trial was published in the January 4, 2021 online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The full manuscript, entitled "Cell Therapy for Chronic TBI: Interim Analysis of the Randomized Controlled STEMTRA Trial" can be accessed here. STEMTRA was a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, surgical sham-controlled, global trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of SB623 compared to sham surgery in patients with stable chronic neurological motor deficits secondary to traumatic brain injury (TBI). The study achieved its primary efficacy endpoint of significant improvement from baseline of Fugl-Meyer Motor Scale (FMMS) score at six months for SB623-treated patients. Secondary efficacy endpoints improved from baseline but were not statistically significant versus control. In the six-month, pre-specified interim analysis, treatment with SB623 cells appeared to be safe and well-tolerated. In the trial, patients were followed for efficacy and safety for up to twelve months. STEMTRA was a 12-month, Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, surgical sham-controlled, global trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of SB623 compared to sham surgery in patients with stable chronic neurological motor deficits secondary to TBI (https://clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT02416492). In this study, SB623 cells were implanted directly around the site of brain injury. The primary endpoint was mean change from baseline in FMMS score at six months to measure changes in motor impairment. To be eligible for this trial, patients (ages 18-75) must have been at least 12 months post-TBI and had a Glasgow Outcome Scale extended (GOS-E) score of 3-6 (e.g., moderate or severe disability). Patients must also have been able to undergo all planned neurological assessments and had no seizures in the prior three months. The STEMTRA trial treated 61 patients from 27 sites in the U.S., Japan and Ukraine. In this study, SB623 met its primary endpoint, with patients treated with SB623 achieving an average 8.3-point improvement from baseline in the FMMS, versus 2.3-points in the control group, at 6 months (p=0.040). Of patients treated with SB623, 18 (39.1%) reached a 10 or more point improvement of FMMS compared to one control patient (6.7%; p=0.039). No new safety signals were identified, and the most commonly reported adverse event was headaches. SB623 is a proprietary, cell-based investigational product made from allogeneic modified and cultured adult bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that undergo temporary genetic modification. Implantation of SB623 cells into injured nerve tissue in the brain is expected to trigger the brain's natural regenerative ability to recover lost motor functions. SanBio is preparing to file a Biologics License Application with the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency in Japan for SB623 for the treatment of chronic motor deficits resulting from traumatic brain injury, while also making progress in its global development program. Further, the Company is working toward commencing clinical trials of SB623 for stroke in Japan. SB623 has been granted Sakigake designation for innovative medical products from the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare of Japan, Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Association, and the Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product classification from the European Medicines Agency.
