About Stem Cell Therapeutics:
Stem Cell Therapeutics Corp. (SCT) is an immuno-oncology company advancing
cancer stem cell discoveries into novel and innovative cancer therapies.
Building on over half a century of leading and groundbreaking Canadian stem cell
research, the company is supported by established links to a group of prominent
Toronto academic research institutes and cancer treatment centers, representing
one of the world's most acclaimed cancer research hubs. The Company has two
premier preclinical programs, SIRPaFc and a CD200 monoclonal antibody (mAb),
which target two key immunoregulatory pathways that tumor cells exploit to evade
the host immune system. SIRPaFc is an antibody-like fusion protein that blocks
the activity of CD47, a molecule that is upregulated on cancer stem cells in AML
and several other tumors. The CD200 mAb is a fully human monoclonal antibody
that blocks the activity of CD200, an immunosuppressive molecule that is
overexpressed by many hematopoietic and solid tumors. SCT's clinical stage
programs include the recently in-licensed program focused on the structure of
tigecycline, which is currently being evaluated in a multi-centre Phase I study
in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), as well as TTI-1612, a non-
cancer stem cell asset that recently completed a 28-patient Phase I trial in
interstitial cystitis ("IC") patients. For more information, visit:
