Sernova Provides Corporate Update and Outlook for 2020

March 24, 2020 9:00 a.m. EDT

LONDON, ONTARIO – March 24, 2020 – Sernova Corp. (TSX-V:SVA)(OTCQB:SEOVF)(FSE:PSH), a clinical- stage regenerative medicine therapeutics company, today provided a corporate update and outlook for 2020.

Dr. Philip Toleikis, President and CEO of Sernova Corp., remarked, "The past year has been one of significant advancement and success for Sernova's clinical and preclinical programs. We are pleased with the progress, including increased patient enrollment and early observations from our US Phase I/II clinical trial for people with type 1 diabetes and severe hypoglycemia unawareness. Advancements have also been made with preclinical initiatives for our Cell Pouch System™ platform relating to the development of stem cell-derived islets toward the ultimate goal of developing an unlimited source of therapeutic cells for diabetes, factor VIII producing cells for hemophilia A and a novel treatment for people with hypothyroid disease. We also continue to evolve and make progress with our pharma and academic collaborations. Despite the current COVID-19 environment, we are encouraged with the path ahead for Sernova and what we expect to achieve in 2020 to enhance long-term shareholder value."

The following enumerates recent progress and achievements for Sernova's pipeline by therapeutic indication and area of interest.

Diabetes

We are currently conducting a US Phase I/II clinical trial in type 1 diabetic patients with severe hypoglycemia unawareness – entitled "Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy Study of Sernova's Cell Pouch™ for Clinical Islet Transplantation" - at the University of Chicago ("US Phase I/II Cell Pouch Clinical Trial").

Key requirements for a successful diabetes regenerative medicine approach have been our focus, more specifically, these include first ensuring robust survival of insulin-producing cells within our Cell Pouch and proof of insulin release into the bloodstream in subjects with no ability to produce insulin prior to Cell Pouch transplant.

The following represents significant achievements for the US Phase I/II Cell Pouch Clinical Trial:

• Increased number of patients enrolled and transplanted in our clinical trial. In the most advanced patient treated with the Cell Pouch and insulin-producing islets, abundant and surviving vascularized insulin-producing islets were confirmed in the sentinel Cell Pouch by independent pathologist assessment following 90 days transplant.

 Why is this important? This early efficacy endpoint within the sentinel Cell Pouch is an indicator of transplanted islet health in the therapeutic Cell Pouches remaining in the patient, including the islets ability to read blood sugar and produce insulin into the bloodstream.

• Enduring bloodstream levels of insulin from the Cell Pouch transplanted islet cells in the fasting patient was shown through detection of C-peptide, a biomarker of insulin produced by the islet cells.

 Why is this important? This finding, combined with glucose-stimulated C-peptide and other early efficacy indicators observed, is an indication of a normalizing response by the Cell Pouch therapeutic cells to the body's varied need for insulin production, i.e. an indicator and evidence of ongoing islet survival within the vascularized environment of the Cell Pouch.

• The independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) completed its first review of our US Phase I/II Cell Pouch Clinical Trial. No safety concerns were raised, and continuation of the clinical study was recommended.

 Why is this important? Independent DSMB review of the trial on a yearly basis in compliance with FDA guidelines and confirmation of favorable safety profile of the Cell Pouch and islets.

Hemophilia A

• The HemAcure Consortium, a collaboration including Sernova and a team of European academic investigators that received €5.6M funding from the EU Horizon 2020 program, successfully completed its objective to research and develop a therapeutic approach that would provide constant delivery of factor VIII to normalize blood levels in an effort to significantly improve the quality of life of patients suffering from hemophilia A.

• A series of breakthroughs were achieved demonstrating success in correcting cells from the blood of patients with hemophilia A to produce the required factor VIII protein within the implanted Cell Pouch resulting in improvement in blood clotting in an animal model of hemophilia A in preparation for future completion of formal preclinical studies and potential advancement to human clinical trials. Hypothyroid Disease

• Sernova has established a collaboration with Dr. Sam Wiseman of the University of British Columbia for development of a novel Cell Pouch Cell Therapy approach with the goal to reverse the serious effects of hypothyroidism, which occurs following removal of the thyroid gland in over 150,000 patients each year in the US.

• This collaboration, supported by Sernova and a Transplant Research Foundation (TRF) of British Columbia Transplant Venture grant award, has made important advancements, and study results are anticipated for release in 2020.

Local Immune Protection Technologies

• Local immune protection of therapeutic cells within the Cell Pouch would represent a major advance in cell therapy as it would reduce or eliminate the need for immunosuppression drugs and reduce both the potential of side effects and risk profile for cell therapy patients.

• We are continuing to evaluate local immune protection approaches with the objective of providing locally immune protected therapeutic cells within our Cell Pouch to improve current cell therapy treatment options.

Collaborations

• Sernova's current collaborations with leading pharma, medtech, and academic researchers are progressing according to plan. We continue to field collaboration inquiries from other international and large regional pharma companies.

• Current collaborations include the assessment of safety and efficacy of combined technologies in preclinical studies, which could lead to strategic development or commercial partnership opportunities for diabetes and our other platform technologies.

2020 Outlook

Some of our key initiatives for 2020 include:

• Focusing on patient enrollment completion which includes Cell Pouch implantation and the continued advancement of our US Phase I/II Cell Pouch Clinical Trial;

• Evolving stem cell-derived islet technologies, with the end goal to provide an unlimited supply of stem cell-derived islet cells for the anticipated treatment of any person inflicted with insulin-dependent diabetes;

• Continuing the evaluation of alternative novel local immune protection technologies for therapeutic cells, to be used in conjunction with our Cell Pouch technologies, for potential in-licensing or acquisition;

• Advancing further IND enabling preclinical proof of concept studies for the treatment of postoperative hypothyroid disease;

• Developing additional collaborations with pharma companies; and

• Releasing results of our research through publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals and conferences.

"While COVID-19 has introduced uncertainties for all people and businesses worldwide, we are proactively evolving how we operate and are adopting alternative methods and approaches to enable us to carry on our business and the US Phase I/II Cell Pouch Clinical Trial with the goal of mitigating potential impact. We are also continuing to advance our scientific, clinical and business activities within the context of the COVID-19 situation and are committed to following the evolving guidelines recommended by WHO, CDC, and the Federal and Provincial Governments of Canada to protect the safety of our employees and families, collaborators and business partners," said Dr. Philip Toleikis. He continued, "Despite the current environment, we are focused and committed to build upon our recent clinical and preclinical program achievements towards further important advancements in 2020 to deliver long-term value to our shareholders."

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 participants with diabetes and hypoglycemia unawareness. The secondary objective is to assess efficacy through a series of defined measures. Importantly, patients enrolled in Sernova's clinical trial are incapable of producing C- peptide, a marker of insulin produced by islet cells prior to implantation of Sernova's Cell Pouch and therapeutic 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, 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 is made with regards to the transplant of a second islet dose with subsequent safety and efficacy follow up. Patients are then further followed for one year to assess longer term safety and efficacy.

Sernova Achieves Positive Efficacy Endpoint in Phase I/II Clinical Trial for Type 1 Diabetes

Most advanced subject in the clinical trial continues to show positive indicators of islet function following islet transplant into the Cell Pouch

February 13, 2020 9:00 a.m. EDT

LONDON, ONTARIO – February 13, 2020 – Sernova Corp (TSX-V:SVA)(OTCQB:SEOVF)(FSE:PSH), a clinical- stage company and regenerative medicine therapeutics leader, is pleased to announce that Sernova’s first treated patient in its Phase I/II clinical trial of its Cell Pouch with therapeutic cells for type 1 diabetes at the University of Chicago, has demonstrated survival of endocrine tissue (insulin-producing islets) in the sentinel Cell Pouch following 90 days transplant.

This efficacy outcome, namely, survival of endocrine tissue (insulin-producing islets) in the sentinel Cell Pouch following 90 days transplant, is measured by positive staining of islets during histological analysis. According to the independent pathologist who conducted the analysis, “The explanted sentinel pouch shows abundant viable, organized islet cells intimately associated with blood vessels within a collagen matrix after 90 days of transplantation. These surviving islet cells strongly express insulin.” A representative histological image from the islet-transplanted mini-sentinel Cell Pouch explanted from a patient at 90 days post-transplant. Islets with positive insulin staining (red), and new blood vessels (green) are detected. (A Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy Study of Sernova's Cell Pouch™ for Clinical Islet Transplantation.)

This achievement is important because it is an indicator of transplanted islet health in the therapeutic Cell Pouches remaining in the subject, including the islets ability to produce insulin into the bloodstream. This has been demonstrated by our previous reported findings of blood levels of both glucose-stimulated and fasting C- peptide as well as other efficacy indicators in this patient who had no measurable levels of this biomarker of insulin prior to the Cell Pouch islet transplant.

“We believe these accumulating positive results continue to validate our Cell Pouch technologies as a viable regenerative medicine therapeutic platform for humans in insulin-dependent diabetes and other chronic diseases,” said Dr. Philip Toleikis, President and CEO of Sernova Corp. “With these encouraging results and the positive review and recommendation from the Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB), we are excited to continue the clinical trial and carry on compiling safety and efficacy data from our current and future treated patients.”

Press Release Communiqué de presse - October 16, 2019 16 October, 2019

Sernova Confirms Enduring Levels of Fasting C-Peptide in Bloodstream of First Patient in its Phase I/II Clinical Trial for Type-1 Diabetes

Findings further validate Cell Pouch and therapeutic cell performance in Type-1 diabetes

October 16, 2019 9:00 a.m. EDT

LONDON, ONTARIO – October 16, 2019 – Sernova Corp. (TSX-V:SVA)(OTCQB:SEOVF)(FSE:PSH), a clinical- stage regenerative medicine company, is pleased to announce the detection of enduring levels of C-peptide (measured up to 30 days and ongoing), a biomarker of transplanted beta cell insulin production, in the bloodstream of a fasting patient in its ongoing Phase I/II Cell Pouch(TM) US clinical study of type-1 diabetes. The detection of fasting C-peptide in the bloodstream of our first patient, in addition to Sernova’s recent announcement of glucose-stimulated C-peptide and other early efficacy indicators, demonstrate a normalizing response of the Cell Pouch therapeutic cells to the body’s varied need for insulin production. This is an important step forward and evidence of ongoing islet engraftment within the Cell Pouch.

“Along with the preliminary safety and early indicators of efficacy, I am excited that we are observing C-peptide levels in the patient’s bloodstream after recent transplant, not only following stimulation with a meal but also when the patient is fasting. These findings represent progress in clinical outcomes and evidence of enduring islet survival and function within Sernova’s Cell Pouch,” said Dr. Piotr Witkowski, Director of Pancreatic, and Islet Transplant Program at the University of Chicago and study principal investigator. “We look forward to reporting ongoing results in additional patients as the trial progresses.”

The entry criteria of Sernova’s clinical study require patients to be C-peptide negative upon enrolment. C- peptide measured in the bloodstream is a biomarker of insulin and is widely used as a measure of insulin production by islet cells. C-peptide is typically measured following overnight fasting (fasting C-peptide) and during a glucose tolerance test (glucose-stimulated C-peptide). Together these measures provide an index of the patient’s ability to control blood glucose through their production of insulin.

With the goal of improved blood glucose control and stabilization of fluctuating blood sugar levels commonly experienced in people with type-1 diabetes, a normalizing response can also decrease the likelihood of life threatening hypoglycemic unaware events, a key efficacy measure in the Sernova trial.

Sernova’s clinical trial is continuing active recruitment and enrollment of study participants and further results will continue to be reported as the study progresses.

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 participants with diabetes and hypoglycemia unawareness. The secondary objective is to assess efficacy through a series of defined measures. Importantly, patients enrolled in Sernova’s clinical trial are incapable of producing C- peptide prior to implantation of Sernova’s Cell Pouch and therapeutic cells.

Eligible subjects are implanted with Cell Pouches. Following 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, 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 is 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.

ABOUT SERNOVA’S CELL POUCH

The Cell Pouch is a novel, proprietary, scalable, implantable macro-encapsulation device designed for the long- term survival and function of therapeutic cells. The device is designed to incorporate with tissue, forming highly vascularized tissue chambers for the transplantation and function of therapeutic cells which then release proteins and hormones as required to treat disease. The device along with therapeutic cells has been shown to provide long-term safety and efficacy in small and large animal models of diabetes and has been proven to provide a biologically compatible environment for insulin-producing cells in humans.

ABOUT SERNOVA CORP.

Sernova Corp is developing regenerative medicine therapeutic technologies using a medical device and immune protected therapeutic cells (i.e., human donor cells, corrected human cells and stem-cell derived cells) to improve the treatment and quality of life of people with chronic metabolic diseases such as insulin- dependent diabetes, blood disorders including hemophilia, and other diseases treated through replacement of proteins or hormones missing or in short supply within the body.
