About Sernova’s US Clinical Study

The approved protocol is a Phase I/II non-randomized, unblinded, single-arm, company-sponsored trial, where diabetic subjects with hypoglycemia unawareness enroll into the study. Participants are then 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 will be 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 then be further followed for one year. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate safety and tolerability of islet transplantation into the Cell Pouch. The secondary objective is to assess efficacy through a series of defined measures.

Sernova Phase I/II US Clinical Trial for Type-1 Diabetes Advances Following Positive Preliminary Safety and Efficacy Data

CEO to participate in conference call with Sernova Shareholders on July 18 at 10:00 am (EDT)

July 17, 2019 3:05 a.m. EDT

LONDON, ONTARIO – July 17, 2019 – Sernova Corp. (TSX-V:SVA) (FSE:PSH) (OTCQB:SEOVF), a clinical-stage regenerative medicine company today announced that its human Phase I/II clinical trial for type-1 diabetes is advancing with additional patients for device and cell transplantation.

Sernova announced on July 3, 2019, a case study describing preliminary data from its current clinical trial: A Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy Study of Sernova's Cell Pouch for Clinical Islet Transplantation. Sernova’s Cell Pouch transplanted with islet cells demonstrated initial safety, as well as key efficacy measures, including glucose-stimulated blood levels of C-peptide, insulin, and additional measures of glucose control in the first study patient with type-1 diabetes and severe hypoglycemia unawareness.

A summary of the data presented at the International Pancreas and Islet Transplantation Association (IPITA) World Congress is as follows:

• No incidences of adverse events determined to be related to the Cell Pouch implant.

• The Cell Pouch was well-incorporated with vascularized tissue, which enabled successful transplant of the purified islets

• A reduction in body weight

• Stabilizing improvements in glycemic control parameters measured by Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), assessed by Medtronic

• 87.5% reduction in hypoglycemic events from baseline collected over a two-week CGM monitoring period

• Presence of stimulated blood levels of C-peptide and insulin at the observed 90-day post-transplant point as indicated in a mixed meal tolerance test

“I am pleased with these interim results in the first implanted patient,” said Dr. Piotr Witkowski, Director of Pancreatic, and Islet Transplant Program at the University of Chicago and study principal investigator. “The first dose of islets transplanted into the Cell Pouch has shown safety and early indicators of potential efficacy. We found some glucose-stimulated C-peptide and insulin present in the bloodstream, which are the gold standard indicators of islet function. Our team continues the research and looks forward to reporting longer-term results in additional patients as the trial progresses.”

“The preliminary clinical data achieved in this patient with our pre-vascularized implanted Cell Pouch represent an early clinical validation for our regenerative medicine technologies as we pursue safe, efficacious, and transformative treatments for patients with hypoglycemia unawareness in type-1 diabetes,” said Dr. Philip Toleikis, President and CEO of Sernova Corp. “With these data from our current clinical trial, in conjunction with our advancing hemophilia A, hypothyroid, and diabetes stem cell programs, we believe Sernova is closer to achieving significant advancements in regenerative medicine treatment.”

The Company continue actively recruiting and enrolling subjects and is expecting to report further data from Sernova’s clinical study in the second half of 2019.

Dr. Toleikis will participate in a conference call with Sernova shareholders at 10:00 am (ET) on July 18 to discuss the recently announced trial data as well as the corporate updates. A presentation will be made available on Sernova’s website before the call. All questions to Dr. Toleikis can be submitted to info@sernova.com prior to the call.

Sernova Corp Presents Positive Preliminary Safety and Efficacy Data in its Phase I/II Clinical Trial for Type-1 Diabetes

Sernova’s Cell Pouch (TM) with transplanted islet cells reached primary safety measurements and clinically significant efficacy outcomes including glucose-stimulated C-peptide and the release of insulin in the first patient transplanted

July 3, 2019 5:30 a.m. EDT

LONDON, ONTARIO – July 3, 2019 – Sernova Corp. (TSX-V:SVA)(OTCQB:SEOVF), a clinical-stage regenerative medicine company today announced that in an interim analysis of its human Phase I/II clinical trial, Sernova’s Cell Pouch transplanted with islet cells showed initial safety, as well as key efficacy measures, including glucose stimulated C-peptide, insulin production and additional clinically significant measures of glucose control in the first study patient with type-1 diabetes and severe hypoglycemia unawareness.

Dr. Piotr Witkowski, Director of Pancreatic, and Islet Transplant Program at the University of Chicago and study principal investigator presented on Sernova’s Cell Pouch technology and preliminary data from Sernova’s current clinical trial: A Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy Study of Sernova's Cell Pouch for Clinical Islet Transplantation today at the 17th World Congress of the International Pancreas and Islet Transplantation Association (IPITA) in Lyon, France.

Highlights of the presentation of the data from the first patient who received islet transplanted into Sernova Cell Pouch included:

• No incidences of adverse events determined to be related to the Cell Pouch implant.

• The Cell Pouch was well-incorporated with vascularized tissue, which enabled successful transplant of the purified islets

• A weight reduction of 6.35kg (12% total body weight)

• Stabilizing improvements in all glycemic control parameters as indicated by Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) as assessed by Medtronic

• 87.5% reduction in hypoglycemic events from baseline collected over a two-week monitoring period

• Presence of stimulated blood levels of C-peptide and insulin at the observed 90-day post-transplant point as indicated in a mixed meal tolerance test

“I am quite pleased with these interim results in the first implanted patient,” said Dr. Witkowski. “The first of two doses of islets transplanted into the Cell Pouch is showing safety and early indicators of efficacy. Importantly, demonstration of glucose-stimulated C-peptide and insulin present in the bloodstream is definitive proof of islet survival and function in the Cell Pouch. These results are an important first step towards a paradigm shift in the treatment of this debilitating disease. Our team is looking forward to reporting longer- term results in enrolled patients as the trial progresses,” said Dr. Witkowski, principal study investigator.

ABOUT THE STUDY

The approved protocol is a Phase I/II non-randomized, unblinded, single arm, company-sponsored trial, where diabetic subjects with hypoglycemia unawareness enroll into the study. Participants are then 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 will be 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 then be further followed for one year. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate safety and tolerability of islet transplantation into the Cell Pouch. The secondary objective is to assess efficacy through a series of defined measures.

Sernova Announces Collaboration to Advance Therapeutic Cell Pouch Technologies for the Treatment of Hypothyroidism

Co-investigators, Dr. Sam Wiseman of the University of British Columbia and Sernova Corp awarded the prestigious Transplant Research Foundation of British Columbia Venture Grant

April 30, 2019; 9:00 a.m. EST

LONDON, ONTARIO – April 30, 2019 – Sernova Corp. (TSX-V: SVA) (OTCQB: SEOVF), a clinical-stage regenerative medicine company announced today a collaboration with the University of British Columbia’s, Dr. Sam Wiseman for development of a Cell Therapy-based Program for the treatment of hypothyroidism. This collaboration is funded by a Transplant Venture Grant awarded by the Transplant Research Foundation (TRF) of British Columbia.

“The only current option for treatment of patients following thyroidectomy, to ensure avoidance of hypothyroidism, is administration of life-long daily thyroid medication, with intermittent blood testing and adjustment of medication dosing,” said Dr. Sam Wiseman, thyroid surgeon and researcher, and the Director of Research in the Department of Surgery at Providence Healthcare in Vancouver. “We hypothesize that through transplantation into Sernova’s vascularized Cell Pouch, the function of the thyroid gland may be preserved, and dependence on thyroid medication avoided. This approach is exciting because it could offer patients a cell therapy option for preservation of their gland function.”

According to the American Thyroid Association (ATA), 20 million Americans currently live with thyroid disease, and 12% of Americans will develop a thyroid condition during their lifetime. The thyroid gland produces and secretes thyroid hormone that is essential for life because it serves to regulate the entire body’s metabolism. The thyroid gland affects all critical body functions including heart rate, energy levels, and the rate at which energy is produced from nutrients. Loss of thyroid function, or hypothyroidism, may occur spontaneously, or due to partial or complete removal of the thyroid gland by operation (thyroidectomy).

“The cell-based treatment of hypothyroid disease following thyroidectomy represents a third significant clinical application including type-1 diabetes and hemophilia further validating Sernova’s Cell Pouch platform technologies in significant potential markets,” said Dr. Philip Toleikis, President and CEO of Sernova. “The development of a regenerative medicine approach for these chronic diseases is becoming a reality. In this case of thyroid disease, successful transplantation of thyroid tissue into Sernova’s cell pouch would represent a major advance in treatment of this very common problem.”

Thyroidectomy is commonly performed for cancer diagnosis or treatment, as well as for treatment of benign (non-cancerous) disease that includes goiter and hyperthyroidism. It is estimated that about 150,000 thyroidectomies are performed in the US yearly, and the majority of individuals undergoing a thyroid operation will be diagnosed with benign disease after their operation. Patients with Grave’s disease and thyroid nodules undergoing total thyroidectomy, and many patients undergoing partial thyroidectomy require life-long thyroid hormone medication. Post-surgical thyroid hormone replacement therapy, if monitored carefully, can be effective; however, patients often suffer from side effects including weight gain, depression, headaches, and cardiovascular disease, with resultant negative impact on quality of life, and costs to the healthcare system.

Sernova’s approach in the treatment of hypothyroid disease is to transplant healthy thyroid cells of patients undergoing thyroidectomy into the pre-implanted vascularized Cell Pouch. Currently, pre-clinical proof-of- concept work is underway. The collaboration will accelerate Sernova’s research efforts and set the stage for the preparation of a regulatory submission for future clinical assessment of people suffering from hypothyroid disease with the aim to preserve thyroid function and improve patient quality of life.

In other news, Sernova has been invited to present at the 2019 Bloom Burton & Co. Healthcare Investment Conference, being held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, in Toronto on April 30 and May 1st. Sernova President and CEO, Dr. Philip Toleikis will speak to its latest corporate presentation and US Phase I/II Human Clinical Trial at 4:00 PM EDT, on Wednesday, May 1st.
