Sernova: The Ultimate Combination of Two Proven Technologies as Potential Functional Cure for Type1 Diabetes and Other Chronic Diseases

Information Session Webinar on Sernova’s Conformal Coating Immune Protection Technology with Dr. Toleikis and International Expert, Dr. Tomei Now Available on Sernova’s Website

October 1, 2021 6:00 a.m. EDT

LONDON, ONTARIO – October 1, 2021 – Sernova Corp. (TSX-V:SVA)(OTCQB:SEOVF) (FSE/XETRA:PSH), a leading clinical-stage regenerative medicine company developing a ‘functional cure’ for type 1 diabetes (T1D) and other chronic diseases, recently hosted an information session webinar. The webinar announced Sernova’s collaboration with the University of Miami (UMiami) and associate professor and international expert in immunoprotection and diabetes engineering, Dr. Alice Tomei of the UMiami’s Diabetes Research Institute. During this webinar Drs. Toleikis and Tomei discussed the Conformal Coating Immunoprotection Technology and its pivotal role within Sernova’s Cell Pouch Technology platform. A Q&A session followed the presentation by Drs. Toleikis and Tomei. The responses to key questions asked by attendees are summarized below.

For those investors and other interest parties who were unable to attend the information session, a recording is available at www.sernova.com

At what stage of development is the Conformal Coating Immunoprotection Technology?

This technology is backed by over 12 years of scientific research. Scientific research has included extensive preclinical testing followed by optimization to arrive at the final formulation which is being tested in Sernova’s Cell Pouch.

Have islets with Conformal Coating been shown to be safe in preclinical models?

Yes. A positive safety profile has been demonstrated in small and large animal preclinical models.

Does the Conformal Coating affect the release of insulin from islets tested in the lab?

Insulin release in conformal coated islets is comparable to uncoated islets. Conformal coated islets have shown uptake of glucose and the release of insulin remains normal.

When tested in preclinical models of diabetes, is the release of insulin into the bloodstream from islets with Conformal Coating similar to uncoated islets?

Preclinical diabetes studies completed have shown a normal insulin response to a glucose challenge (glucose tolerance test).

Have conformal coated islets been shown to provide a ‘functional cure’ for diabetes in preclinical models?

Yes. In two preclinical diabetes animal model studies completed, long-term insulin independence without the need for immunosuppressive drugs has been demonstrated which is considered to be a ‘functional cure’.

Have stem cell derived islets with Conformal Coating been shown to provide a ‘functional cure’ for diabetes in preclinical models?

Yes. Long-term insulin independence has been demonstrated.

It seems the Conformal Coating and Cell Pouch technologies have both been tested and optimized. Do you expect that the combination of these two technologies will enable more rapid entry into the clinic than if developing new technologies?

Yes. We are combining these two well tested technologies in our studies with the goal of entering clinical trials for both donor islets and diabetes stem cell technologies as soon as practicable.

Why is the Conformal Coating approach for immune protection ideally suited for the Sernova’s Cell Pouch technologies?

We believe the Cell Pouch design provides the ideal organ-like environment for therapeutic cells. Our ability to provide Conformal Coating immunoprotection of cells within the Cell Pouches vascularized, organ-like environment could avoid the detrimental issues associated with other immune protected macro devices, while providing a protected and retrievable site for the therapeutic cells. This combination is expected to form a platform for multiple therapeutic cell technologies.

From an investor viewpoint, why is this collaboration important?

The opportunity to provide patients with a locally immune protected cell therapy treatment approach without the need to take life-long immunosuppression medications is expected to dramatically increase the available patient populations for multiple diseases who could benefit from these therapies. In addition, locally immune protected cells within the Cell Pouch is of great interest to our pharmaceutical collaborators. The ultimate combination of two proven technologies as a potential ‘functional cure’ for T1D and other chronic diseases would be expected to add tremendous shareholder value from the expansion of addressable markets across multiple indications, and in turn, potential long term revenues.

Dr. Toleikis, President & CEO of Sernova, stated, “In the development of a novel therapeutic cell therapy approach for all people with T1D, Sernova’s systematic approach has provided encouraging initial safety and clinical benefit in patients with brittle T1D. We continue to take a leadership role with our unique local cellular immunoprotection strategies for islet technologies and look forward to the day when patients can enjoy a ‘functional cure’ without the need for life-long immunosuppression drugs.”

Sernova’s data were delivered in a poster presentation entitled “Persistent graft function after allotransplantation into pre-vascularized Sernova Cell Pouch™ device: Preliminary results from the University of Chicago.”

The overall objective of Sernova’s Phase I/II clinical trial is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of its proprietary Cell Pouch transplanted with insulin-producing islets. Study patients eligible to participate in the clinical trial must meet stringent eligibility criteria including, but not limited to, long-standing T1D, severe hypoglycemic unawareness episodes and no glucose-stimulated C-peptide circulating in their bloodstream.

In his poster presentation, Dr. Witkowski confirmed continued safety and tolerability in all six enrolled study patients. In addition, the two longest-treated patients continue to demonstrate defined and meaningful clinical benefit in line with previously established key T1D efficacy indicators including reduction in HbA1c, reduction or elimination of severe hypoglycemic events (SHE), reduction or elimination of daily injectable insulin, detection of C-peptide in the patients’ bloodstream, and improvement in glucose control as measured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). The remaining patients are advancing through the study at different stages and their progress continues to be evaluated. The study plans to enroll a total of seven patients and is actively screening for the recruitment of the final patient.

Importantly, the most advanced patient showing positive clinical benefit achieved with Cell Pouch and transplanted islets, and then receiving a top up single infusion of islets (via portal vein), has successfully completed the study protocol. Data from this patient support the long-term safety of Sernova’s Cell Pouch and, importantly, the patient has now remained insulin independent (no requirement for injectable insulin) for 14 months with optimal glucose control. The patient recently gave Sernova permission to share the impact and their personal experience of being the first recipient of the Cell Pouch in Sernova’s T1D Phase I/II clinical trial:

“After completing the safety, tolerability and efficacy study of Sernova's Cell Pouch for clinical islet transplantation and as the first transplant candidate, I can easily state how absolutely wonderful life is to be free of always thinking of how to manage my diabetes. After having T1D for 47 years with approximately 21,535 injections of various cow/pig, synthetic insulins, 34,310 finger sticks, 1,460 urine tests, 15 years on the pump, carbohydrate counting, blood tests, low blood sugar reactions, and doctors…doctors and more doctors’ visits, I have now been free of the need for injectable insulin for 14 months. My Sernova team of invaluable scientists, doctors, engineers, and Dr. Witkowski, and the University of Chicago's support staff have done this truly amazing feat right in the middle of a worldwide pandemic! My only wish is that it could have been done sooner.”

Said principal investigator Dr. Witkowski, “As a clinician-scientist and surgeon, success is typically based on objective outcome measures. Although crucial, often what is missing is the perspective of the patients and the impact on their lives, in their own words. I am thrilled with the transformative and meaningful impact that our clinical trial has had and continues to have on the life of our first patient and I would like to extend my congratulations to this individual who successfully completed the Sernova study with the positive outcome of insulin independence. As we continue to optimize conditions within the designed clinical protocol, I am excited and proud to be a part of the evolution of Sernova’s novel cell therapy approach for the treatment of T1D.”

“Sernova’s ultimate goal is to establish a ‘functional cure’ based on our Cell Pouch technologies for all people with T1D”, said Dr. Philip Toleikis, President & CEO of Sernova Corp. “As we advance our clinical program we thank our patients and physicians as well as our participating pharmaceutical and medtech collaborators who have assisted us to advance beyond established, but insufficient, therapies. Good science is a step-by-step process, and each advancement brings us closer to our goal. It is very timely that we celebrate our first trial patient’s success as the world marks the 100th anniversary of the discovery of insulin.”

ABOUT SERNOVA'S CLINICAL TRIAL

Sernova is conducting a Phase I/II non-randomized, unblinded, single-arm, company-sponsored trial to assess the safety and tolerability of islet transplantation into the company's patented Cell Pouch in diabetic subjects with hypoglycemia unawareness. The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety of the Cell Pouch following implantation and islet transplantation. The secondary objective is to assess efficacy through a series of defined measures. Patients enrolled in Sernova's clinical trial prior to receiving the Cell Pouch and islets are incapable of producing C-peptide, a biomarker for insulin produced by islet cells.

Eligible subjects are implanted with Cell Pouches. Following the development of vascularized tissue chambers within the Cell Pouch, subjects are then stabilized on immunosuppression, and a dose of purified islets, under strict release criteria, is transplanted into the Cell Pouch.

A sentinel pouch is removed for an early assessment of the islet transplant. Subjects are followed for additional safety and efficacy measures for approximately six months. At this point, a decision will be made with regards to the transplant of a second islet dose with subsequent safety and efficacy follow-up. Patients will be then further followed for one year to assess longer-term safety and efficacy.

Sernova's Principal Investigator Presents Positive New Data from Ongoing Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) Clinical Trial at ATC 2021 Virtual Connect Conference

Multiple patients with sustained clinical benefit, including positive fasting serum C-peptide (a biomarker of insulin produced by Sernova’s Cell Pouch islets) detected in their bloodstream

June 7, 2021 6:00 a.m. EDT

LONDON, ONTARIO – June 7, 2021 – Sernova Corp. (TSX-V:SVA) (OTCQB:SEOVF) (FSE/XETRA:PSH), a leading clinical-stage regenerative medicine therapeutics company today announced that its principal investigator, Dr. Piotr Witkowski, presented new preliminary data from Sernova’s ongoing U.S. Phase I/II T1D clinical trial at the University of Chicago. Dr. Witkowski’s presented the data at the American Transplant Congress (ATC) 2021 Virtual Connect conference on Saturday June 5, 2021.

The overall objective of the clinical trial is to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the Cell Pouch with insulin-producing islets. In addition to other criteria, prior to entry into the study, the patients must demonstrate long-standing T1D with severe hypoglycemic unawareness episodes and no glucose-stimulated C- peptide circulating in their bloodstream.

Dr. Witkowski’s presentation entitled “Islet Allotransplantation Into The Pre-Vascularized Sernova Cell PouchTM Device - Preliminary Results Of The Phase I/II Prospective, Open-Label, Single-Arm Study At University of Chicago” highlighted the following key points:

• 6 patients are implanted with Cell Pouches and continue to meet the study’s primary safety endpoint;

• 5 patients have now been transplanted with at least one dose of therapeutic cells (insulin producing islets) and are in different stages of the clinical trial; and

• most significantly, positive fasting serum C-peptide has been detected in the bloodstream of 4 patients so far. C-peptide is a biomarker for insulin produced by the islets in the Cell Pouch.

In addition to the continued confirmation of ongoing safety and tolerability in all currently enrolled patients, Dr. Witkowski provided further updates on the longest treated study patients. These patients continue to show defined clinical benefit associated with ongoing efficacy indicators including:

• reduction/elimination in the need for daily injectable insulin

• continued improvement, i.e. reduction/elimination, in Severe Hypoglycemic Events (SHE);

• persistent detection of fasting and stimulated C-peptide in patients’ bloodstream;

• reduction in HbA1c; and

• continued improvement of glucose control determined through patient blinded Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and measured by reduction of Time Above Range (TAR) and increase of Time in Range (TIR).

As previously reported, the most advanced patient in the study, who had achieved a ‘functional cure’ (requiring no injectable insulin) and had been insulin independent for 9 months, has now been insulin independent for 14 months with optimal glucose control.

“I believe Sernova is the first company in the world to demonstrate a subcutaneous vascularized device with therapeutic cells able to produce insulin in the bloodstream across multiple patients with the most severe diabetes. This is a remarkable feat. As the study progresses and our patient dataset continues to build, I am more confident than ever of the potential of Sernova’s regenerative medicine therapeutic platform,” said Dr. Philip Toleikis, President and CEO of Sernova. “Our vision of improving the lives of people suffering from diabetes with a ‘functional cure’ is another step closer to becoming a reality.”
