Sana Biotechnology has been granted fast track designation to accelerate development of its proposed treatment for relapsed and refractory systemic lupus erythematosus.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave SC291, a CD19-directed allogeneic CAR T cell therapy developed using Sana's hypoimmune platform, fast track designation, a process designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs to treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need.

C291 is being evaluated in a trial of patients with B-cell mediated autoimmune diseases including lupus nephritis, extrarenal lupus and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis. Sana is enrolling patients in the study and said it expects to share initial data in 2025.

In premarket trading Monday, Sana's shares rose 1.1% after ending last week at $2.78, down 32% so far this year.
