Sharing Insights at the 'Italy on the Move' Event and Engaging Investors at Biotech Showcase During JPM Healthcare Week in San Francisco

MILANandNEW YORK,Jan. 09, 2025(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --Genenta Science(NASDAQ: GNTA), a pioneer in immuno-oncology and a leader in cell-based therapeutics, is pleased to announce that it has strengthened its partnership withAGC Biologics, a global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), by amending their Development and Master Services Agreement. This amendment introduces anexclusive GMP suite at the AGC Biologics Cell andGene Center of ExcellenceinMilan, dedicated to the manufacturing of Genenta’s cell therapy product, ensuring compliance with cGMP standards. This strategic move enhances Genenta’s production capabilities, potentially improving efficiency and reliability in its manufacturing processes.

The newly approved methastatic Renal Cell Cancer (mRCC) Phase 1/2a trial began in Q4 2024, and Genenta expects to treatsix patients by the end of the first half of 2025, while continuing progress with the Glioblastoma Multimforme (GBM) study. In total, Genenta projects manufacturing27 autologous drug productsin 2025.

"Our strengthened partnership withAGC Biologicsrepresents our unwavering commitment to patients participating in our GBM and mRCC trials," saidPierluigi Paracchi, CEO and Co-founder of Genenta. "This enhanced capacity ensures that we can treat a larger number of patients and further validate our therapeutic approach, bringing us closer to our vision of transforming cancer treatment through cell-based therapies."

Prof.Luigi Naldini, Co-founder of Genenta, noted: "Our recent preclinical and clinical studies underscore Temferon’s unique potential to reprogram the tumor microenvironment, inhibiting myeloid cell-induced immune suppression and fostering T-cell responses. This approach not only enhances the potential efficacy of Temferon as a monotherapy but also suggests promising synergies when combined with various immunotherapeutic strategies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapies. These findings provide a strong foundation for advancing therapeutic strategies targeting solid tumors and bring us closer to open up new cancer treatments."

Upcoming Engagements duringJPM Healthcare Week: Genenta will participate inBiotech Showcase 2025, taking placeJanuary 13–15,2025, inSan Franciscoto present its innovative technology for treating solid tumors through genetically modified cell therapy. Pierluigi Paracchi will also speak at"Italyon the Move”,a flagship biotech event organized by theItalian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. The event, aimed at promoting Italy’s life sciences sector and fostering international investments, will be held onJanuary 15,2025, at INNOVIT – Italian Innovation and Culture Hub inSan Francisco. Notable speakers includeKarthic Jayaraman, Partner and Co-Head ofGlobal HealthcareatTPG Capital, andFrederick Beddingfield, CEO of Rubedo Life Sciences. The event will be moderated byAudrey Greenberg, Co-Founder and Executive Managing Director of theCenter for Breakthrough Medicines.

About GenentaGenenta (Nasdaq: GNTA) is a clinical stage immuno-oncology company developing a proprietary hematopoietic stem cells therapy for the treatment of a variety of solid tumor cancers. Genenta's first in class product candidate is TemferonTM, which is designed to allow the expression of immune-therapeutic payloads within the tumor microenvironment by bone marrow derived myeloid cells and enable a durable and targeted response. Genenta has completed a Phase 1 trial for newly diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme patients with an unmethylated MGMT gene promoter, which suggests the potential reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment and inhibiting of myeloid induced tolerance, while allowing the induction of T cell responses, potentially breaking immune tolerance. Genenta has initiated in Q4 2024 a Phase 1/2a metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma study that will also include combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Our treatments are designed as one-time monotherapies, but with the additional potential, when used in combination, to significantly enhance the efficacy of other approved therapeutics.
