Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On December 9, 2025, Senti Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing initial clinical data from a Phase 1 clinical trial of SENTI-202, a potential first-in-class Logic Gated off-the-shelf chimeric antigen receptor natural killer investigational cell therapy, for the treatment of relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies including acute myeloid leukemia (“AML”). SENTI-202 is designed to selectively target and eliminate CD33 and/or FLT3- expressing hematologic malignancies, including AML, while sparing healthy bone marrow cells. The press release also announced that the Company has received a Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation from the FDA on Senti-202. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the accompanying Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, regardless of the general incorporation language of such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events
The Company has also made available a slide presentation deck relating to initial clinical data from the Phase 1 clinical trial of SENTI-202, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Company undertakes no obligation to update, supplement or amend the materials attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K and other related materials may contain a number of “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including statements regarding the Company’s expectation about any or all of the following: timing of its clinical trials for SENTI-202; the timing of availability of data from the ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial of SENTI-202; as well as the ability of any product candidate to perform in humans in a manner consistent with nonclinical, preclinical or previous clinical study data. Forward-looking statements can be identified by terms such as “will,” “intent,” “expect,” “plan,” “potential,” “would” or similar expressions and the negative of those terms. The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Although the Company believes that such statements are based on reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are neither promises nor guarantees and they are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond the Company’s control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The anticipated trends and challenges in the Company’s business and the market in which it operates; and other factors that are described in the “Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, which are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and available on the SEC website at https://www.sec.gov/. In addition to the risks described above and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC, other unknown or unpredictable factors also could affect the Company’s results. No forward-looking statements can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from such statements, accordingly, existing and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, other than to the extent required by law.
