These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, expectations regarding the development and potential therapeutic benefits of our

product candidates; the expected safety, pharmacokinetic and efficacy profile of our product candidates, including SNS-101; the expected timing of clinical data from our Phase 1/2 clinical trial of SNS-101; the expansion of the Phase 1 clinical trial to include additional patients with

specific tumor types; and our belief that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations at least into the fourth quarter of 2025 and reach midway into Phase 2 clinical studies of SNS-101.

Risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially include

uncertainties inherent in the development of therapeutic product candidates, such as preclinical discovery and development; c onduct of clinical trials and related regulatory requirements, including the risk of delay or cessation of any clinical trials of Sensei's product candidates; the risk that prior results, such as signals of safety, activity or durability of effect, observed from preclinical trials and early results from the clinical trial of

SNS-101, will not be replicated or will not continue in ongoing or future studies or clinical trials involving Sensei's product candidates, including

SNS-101; our reliance on third parties over which we may not always have full control; risks regarding the accuracy of our estimates of

expenses, capital requirements and needs for additional financing; and other risk and uncertainties that are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on or about February 29, 2024 and our other Periodic Reports filed with the SEC.

Company Highlights

Sensei Bio's proprietary platform is designed to harness the unique acidic tumor microenvironment to widen the therapeutic window and enable druggability of promising oncology targets

SNS-101, the company's lead asset, targets VISTA, a critical negative regulator of T-cell function and promising immune checkpoint target

SNS-101 is currently in Phase 1 clinical testing with initial data displaying an attractive safety profile and potentially best-in-class pharmacokinetics

Anticipated near-term milestones include topline Phase 1 monotherapy & combination dose escalation data in Q2 2024

Three additional early-stage drug candidates

Cash runway into the fourth quarter of 2025, which is expected to fund operations midway into Phase 2 studies of SNS-101

Large Commercial Opportunity still exists in Immuno-Oncology (IO)

Newly Diagnosed Patients Annually in 20262

Head and Neck Cancer (H+N)

  • 1. Market opportunity estimates for PD-1, PDL-1 & anti-CTLA-4 Inhibitors - TD Cowen's Guide to Immuno-oncology

  • 2. GlobalData; Incident cases diagnosed in 8MM 2026 (US, UK, Japan, China, France, Germany, Italy, Spain)

VISTA's Potential Commercial Impact

  • The checkpoint market is large and growing fast1

  • Despite the widespread use of checkpoint inhibitors, only 20% of patients experience an objective response

  • Indications such as CRC see little to no benefit from current treatment options

  • VISTA is implicated in numerous solid tumor types with large patient populations

Lack of Tumor Targeting is a Major Obstacle in IO Innovation

Industry Problem

Sensei's Solution

Conventional antibodies target immune checkpoints that are highly expressed in normal tissues, resulting in:Conditionally active antibodies are selectively targeted to the tumor microenvironment, potentially providing:

  • Dose-limiting toxicities due to on-target/off-tumor action

    • Little or no toxicity due to selective on-target/on-tumor action

  • Pharmacological sink effect requires higher & more frequent dosing

  • Suboptimal activity due to poor PK & dose-limiting toxicities

  • Lower & less frequent doses with tumor-specific binding

  • Powerful activity selectively focused on the tumor microenvironment

One new IO checkpoint inhibitor approved after the CTLA-4 and PD-1/PD-L1 group

The TMAb Platform: pH-sensitive Antibodies Selectively Bind to Targets in the Low-pH Tumor Microenvironment

  • Exploits the tumor microenvironment using pH-selective properties

  • Intended to alleviate undesirable PK/PD properties:

    • Dose-limiting toxicities due to on-target/off-tumor binding

    • Higher and more frequent dosing due to poor pharmacokinetics

  • Bolsters specific activities

  • Unlocks previously undruggable immune targets

Innovative Pipeline of IO Drugs with Broad Commercial Potential

*Sensei has entered into a clinical supply agreement with Regeneron supporting the planned evaluation of SNS-101 in combination with Regeneron's anti-PD-1 therapy Libtayo® (cemiplimab) in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in solid tumors.

*Sensei has entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the National Cancer Institute. The goal of this collaborative effort is to further elucidate the role of VISTA in immune checkpoint resistance and expand the potential of SNS-101 as a combination therapy beyond anti-PD-1.

STNESX-1T01 (VISTA)

VISTA is a Potent T cell Checkpoint Extensively Expressed on Myeloid Cells

VISTA is a B7 family member that inhibits T cell activation1

Immunosuppressive function believed to be mediated by PSGL-1 receptorExtensive VISTA expression on off-tumor myeloid-lineage cells demands a conditionally active antibody approach

Upregulated on immune suppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) via hypoxia2

Increased expression on tissue infiltrating immune cells upon checkpoint therapy failure3

IS ACTIVATED IN A pH SENSITIVE MANNER

Myeloid lineage cell or tumor cell (less common)

T-cell proliferation & activation

  • 3 Gao et al., Nat Med. 2017

  • 4 Johnston et al., Nature 2019

VISTA has inherent pH sensitivity: its extracellular domain is uniquely rich in histidines4
