About SNS01-T
SNS01-T is a novel approach to cancer therapy that is designed
to selectively trigger apoptosis in B-cell cancers such as multiple
myeloma, and, mantle cell and diffuse large B-cell lymphomas.
Senesco is the sponsor of a Phase 1b/2a open-label, multiple-dose,
dose-escalation study which will evaluate the safety and
tolerability of SNS01-T when administered by intravenous infusion
to relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients. The study is
actively enrolling patients at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN,
the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, and
the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center in Morgantown, West Virginia.

About Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is an incurable cancer of plasma cells, a type
of white blood cell derived from B-lymphocytes, normally
responsible for the production of antibodies, in which abnormal
cells accumulate in the bone marrow leading to bone lesions and
interfering with the production of normal blood cells. Senesco was
previously granted orphan drug status for SNS01-T, the Company’s
lead drug candidate for treatment of multiple myeloma.
About Senesco Technologies, Inc.
Senesco, a leader in eIF5A technology, is running a clinical
study in multiple myeloma with its lead therapeutic candidate
SNS01-T, which targets B-cell cancers by selectively inducing
apoptosis by modulating eukaryotic, translation, initiation Factor
5A (eIF5A), which is believed to be an important regulator of cell
growth and cell death. Accelerating apoptosis may have applications
in treating cancer, while delaying apoptosis may have applications
in treating certain inflammatory and ischemic diseases. Senesco has
already partnered with leading-edge companies engaged in
agricultural biotechnology and is entitled to earn research and
development milestones and royalties if its gene-regulating
platform technology is incorporated into its partners’
products.
