Sangamo Therapeutics to Present Data From Its Next-Generation Technologies at 2022 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT)

Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SGMO), a genomic medicine company, today announced that the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) has accepted eight Sangamo abstracts for presentation at the 25th ASGCT Annual Meeting being held May 16-19, 2022, in-person in Washington, D.C. and in a virtual format. Presentations will focus on the progression of Sangamo’s pre-clinical programs emerging from its genomic engineering platform.

“The data to be presented at ASGCT reflect the diversity and versatility of Sangamo’s genomic engineering platform, which is being deployed across a range of pre-clinical programs,” said Jason Fontenot, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Sangamo. “We look forward to demonstrating the robust pre-clinical knowledge and innovation that continues to emerge from our research efforts, to deliver transformative medicines to patients in need.”

Data to be presented at the ASGCT Annual Meeting include an oral presentation of a study looking at Sangamo’s innovative genetically engineered adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid platform for delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) after cerebrospinal fluid administration. With protection from the blood-brain barrier, current gene delivery to the CNS continues to be an obstacle. Sangamo’s AAV capsids are designed to overcome that barrier, providing broad CNS access while minimizing exposure to a patient’s pre-existing anti-AAV antibodies. Another Sangamo AAV capsid presentation will outline CNS delivery via intravenous administration.

Other presentations at the ASGCT Annual Meeting will showcase how Sangamo is advancing its proprietary zinc finger platform development efforts, including its high-efficiency base-editing program in human cells and its use of zinc finger transcription factors for multiplex engineering of CAR-T cells without imparting changes to the genetic code. Sangamo will also present data from its CAR-Treg cell therapy platform, including outlining advancements in pre-clinical allogeneic Treg engineering.
