Molecular Therapy releases characteristics and activity of SNS01 formulation

Senesco Technologies, Inc. ("Senesco" or the "Company") (NYSE MKT: SNT), announced today that the characteristics and activity of SNS01 have been released on-line in Molecular Therapy, the official journal of the American Society for Gene & Cell Therapy. The print version of the article is scheduled to be published during the summer. http://www.nature.com/mt/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/mt201294a.html    

"SNS01 is an earlier formulation of Senesco's therapeutic candidate SNS01-T, which is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1b/2a clinical study to treat patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma," said Leslie J. Browne, Ph.D., President and CEO of Senesco. "SNS01 helped us to establish the benefits of modulating the eIF5A pathway to selectively trigger programmed cell death in malignant B-cells and to develop a more potent and better tolerated version to take into clinical trials."

The Company recently announced the oral presentation, entitled "SNS01-T, an eIF5A-Based Gene Therapy Nanoparticle Designed for the Treatment of Multiple Myeloma, has Anti-Tumoral Activity in Lymphoma", which described the effectiveness of SNS01-T in B-cell cancers. Research for both publications was performed in Senesco CSO John Thompson's research laboratory at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada.
