Sernova Corp T.SVA

Alternate Symbol(s):  SEOVF

Sernova Corp. is a Canada-based clinical-stage biotechnology company, which is developing therapeutic cell technologies for chronic diseases, including insulin-dependent diabetes, thyroid disease, and blood disorders that include hemophilia A. The Company is focused on developing a functional cure for insulin-dependent diabetes with its therapeutic cell technology lead asset, the Cell Pouch System, a novel implantable and scalable medical device with immune protected therapeutic cells. The Cell Pouch is a scalable, implantable medical device. The Cell Pouch is designed to create a vascularized organ-like environment for the transplantation and engraftment of therapeutic cells. Its regenerative medicine therapeutic approach is to provide cell therapies where the cells, transplanted within an organ-like vascularized implantable device, the Cell Pouch, generates proteins, hormones or factors released into the bloodstream for treatment of diseases.

Maybe this will help answer some questions many people keep asking. GL

During the first half of 2017, we have achieved significant progress in advancing our diabetes and hemophilia programs and have continued to build our intellectual property portfolio reaching new milestones in the development of our global patent portfolio, including coverage of leading indications in major markets,” stated President and CEO, Dr. Philip Toleikis. “We look forward to advancing our ongoing collaboration with a leading, global pharmaceutical company and are confident in our ability to execute on multiple fronts including our upcoming U.S. clinical study earmarked for the second half of 2017, and additional notable collaborations to bring the most innovative and effective regenerative medicine combination products to the forefront,” he added. 

Our product development program plans for 2017 includes the following:

Commence a Phase I/II clinical study of our Cell Pouch(TM) in the United States to support our positive results in diabetic patients with hypoglycemia unawareness using human donor islets to further develop the safety and efficacy of our regenerative medicine combination product; 

As a member of the HemAcure Consortium who will continue development of IND-enabling cell production and preclinical studies for personalized medicine treatment of hemophilia A consisting of factor VIII releasing therapeutic cells transplanted within Sernova’s implanted prevascularized Cell Pouch. (The HemAcure Consortium is the name of the consortium developing a product for hemophilia A);
  Conduct IND-enabling preclinical studies for treatment of hypo-thyroid disease consisting of thyroid hormone releasing tissue transplanted within Sernova’s Cell Pouch; 
   Production of human stem cell derived cells for diabetes and proof of principle assessment of these differentiated human stem cells for their safety and efficacy within Sernova’s Cell Pouch for the treatment of insulin-dependent diabetes; 

Development of novel local immune protection technologies within the Cell Pouch, to further develop and advance Sernova’s therapeutic vision for diabetes of a product consisting of locally immune protected therapeutic cells within the Cell Pouch.
  Continue to collaborate with pharmaceutical companies to assess safety and efficacy of our combined technologies in preclinical studies for potential negotiation of a licensing arrangement and commercial development partnership for our diabetes and hemophilia programs.
