Company Highlights Sensei Bio’s
proprietary platform is designed to harness conditional activation of antibodies to widen the therapeutic window and enable druggability of promising oncology targets SNS-101, the company's lead asset, is in a Phase 1b study and targets VISTA, a
critical negative regulator of T-cell function and promising immune checkpoint target SNS-101 has demonstrated ability to overcome hurdles associated with drugging VISTA, including: a well-tolerated safety profile, potentially best-in-class PK,
and initial signs of promising clinical activity 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 Initial Phase 1 expansion data
expected by year-end 2024

Large Commercial Opportunity for
Immuno-Oncology Drugs Market opportunity estimates for PD-1, PDL-1 & anti-CTLA-4 Inhibitors – TD Cowen’s Guide to Immuno-oncology GlobalData; Incident cases diagnosed in 8MM 2026 (US, UK, Japan, China, France, Germany, Italy, Spain)
960K Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) 214K 315K 1.15M Colorectal Cancer (CRC) 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 VISTA is implicated in numerous solid tumor types with large patient populations Indications such as CRC see little to no benefit from current treatment options Newly Diagnosed Patients Annually in 20262 ~2.6M new
patients per year

Industry Problem Sensei’s
Solution Conventional antibodies target immune checkpoints that are highly expressed in normal tissues, resulting in: Dose-limiting toxicities due to on-target/off-tumor action Pharmacological sink effect requires higher & more frequent dosing
Suboptimal activity due to poor PK & dose-limiting toxicities Conditionally active antibodies are selectively targeted to the tumor microenvironment, potentially providing: Little or no toxicity due to selective on-target/on-tumor action 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 2011 2014 2022 Lack of Tumor Targeting is a
Major Obstacle in IO Innovation Ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4) Pembrolizumab (anti-PD-1) Relatlimab (anti-LAG-3)

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 Sensei’s technology identifies pH-sensitive antibodies designed to bind only at
the tumor The tumor microenvironment of pH ~6 is lower than physiological pH of 7.4

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.

SNS-101 (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 receptor Upregulated on immune suppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs)

SNS-101 ASCO 2024 Summary SNS-101
is a conditionally active VISTA targeting mAb that has demonstrated promising early clinical data consistent with its mechanism of action, including: First VISTA-targeting mAb without dose-limiting CRS at pharmacologically relevant dose levels
Initial signals of anti-tumor activity in a predominantly “cold” solid tumor patient population Well tolerated Potentially best-in-class PK Initial signs of encouraging clinical activity SNS-101 well positioned to be the first
VISTA-targeted mAb to test the VISTA IO hypothesis

SNS-102 is a pH-sensitive Antibody
Designed With the Goal of Reversing T-cell Suppression within the Tumor Microenvironment SNS-102 blocks the interaction of VSIG4 with its novel counter-receptor, which has been provisionally identified SNS-102 is 585-fold more selective for VSIG4 at
low pH conditions pH 6.0 pH 7.4 0.7nm 410 nm (~No binding) Monovalent Affinity (KD) Ratio = 585

SNS-103 (ENTPDase1/CD39)

ENTPDase1 (CD39) is the Rate
Limiting Enzyme in the Production of Immunosuppressive Adenosine The primary function of ENTPDase 1 is conversion of extracellular ATP to adenosine, which exerts immunosuppressive properties through binding to A2a/A2b receptors Expressed on
various immune cells in both tumors and normal tissues Development of a TMAb antibody has potential for improved safety and PK profile compared to competitor CD39 mAbs

SNS-201 (VISTAxCD28)

Overcoming Toxicity Challenges
Associated with Targeting CD28 Targeting CD28 has shown clinical evidence of efficacy, but has been limited by dose-limiting toxicities resulting from systemic CD28 activation The Challenge Sensei’s Solution Leverage TMAb approach to
potentially restrict CD28 activation to the tumor microenvironment, with no co-stimulation in the periphery CD28 is a major co-stimulatory pathway for T cells and a clinically validated therapeutic target for activating T cells in the tumor
microenvironment

Bispecific TMAb Approach Can
Generate T Cell Co-Stimulation Selectively Within the TME Co-Stimulatory VISTAxCD28 Bispecific Powerful co-stimulatory “signal 2” selectively within the TME Potential for little or no toxicity due to selective targeting No linkers or
masks A single, off-the-shelf bispecific approach Avoids use of "tumor associated" antigens Anti-CD28 pH-Sensitive anti-VISTA Arm Cancer Cell or Myeloid Cell T Cell pH-sensitive arm confers tumor selective CD28 co-stimulation Can be used
in “cis” (tumor cell) or in “trans” (myeloid or other immune infiltrate) CD28 agonist drives signal 2

SNS-201 Provides Potential for
Profound Anti-Tumor Activity By Selectively Co-Stimulating T Cells SNS-201 (VISTAxCD28) Bispecific format with monovalent CD28 engagement Bivalent pH-selective VISTA binding for efficient engagement at low pH with cells displaying moderate VISTA
copy numbers IgG1 backbone with silencing mutations abolishing Fc receptor interactions pH-sensitive VISTA binding to restrict CD28 activation to the TME Checkpoint release through anti-PD-1

insertions into the CDR regions (VH_Y27H, VH_S57H) and Fc substitutions (M428L, N434S) of eculizumab Soliris® (eculizumab), an anti-C5 monoclonal antibody (mAb), was considered standard of care for patients with paroxysmal nocturnal
hemoglobinuria (PNH) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, but had a short half-life as a result of extensive TMDD. Engineering eculizumab using histidine substitutions resulted in a pH-sensitive mAb with markedly improved half-life. Sheridan et

Targeting VISTA and PD-1
Checkpoints in the TME Promotes Anti-tumoral M1 Macrophage Polarization M1 macrophages are anti-tumorigenic through secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and driving of Th1 CD4+ T cell responses M2 macrophages are
immunosuppressive; pro-tumor TAMs are a subset of M2-type cells SNS-101 targets suppressive signaling in the myeloid compartment, and in combination with anti-PD-1 may help shift the balance of macrophage polarization toward an anti-tumor M1
