Hematological malignancies (leukemias, lymphomas, etc.). One of the most effective treatments for these
conditions is SCT - stem cell transplantation (e.g. bone marrow transplantation). While the challenge finding donors for allogeneic (donor vs. patient derived) SCT can be addressed through haploidentical (partially mismatched donor)
transplants, is a risky and difficult procedure primarily because of potential conflicts between host and donor immune systems and also due to viral infections that often follow even successful SCT while the compromised new immune system
works to reconstitute itself by using the transplanted stem cells.
|
·
|
The broader set of cancers, including solid tumors, that can potentially be treated effectively using
genetically modified cells such as CAR-T cells, but also face efficacy and economic constraints due to limited persistence based on immune system issues (i.e., the need to be able to safely and efficiently deliver allogeneic CAR-T
therapy).
|
·
|
Organ failure and transplantation. A variety of conditions can be treated by the transplantation of vital
organs. However, transplantation is limited both by the insufficient supply of available donor organs and the need for lifelong, daily anti-reject treatments post-transplant.
|
·
|
Non-malignant hematological conditions (such as sickle cell anemia) which could, in many cases, also be
effectively treated by stem cell transplantation if the procedure could be made safer and more accessible by addressing conflicts between host and donor immune systems.

As noted above, increasing incidence of these disorders, largely driven by the aging population.
|
2)
|
Improvement and proliferation of HSCT treatments.
|
3)
|
A “virtuous circle” of lowered death rate due to better transplantations leading to more aggressive focus on
HSCT.
|
4)
|
The growing use of milder conditioning regimens, which makes the procedure more survivable for older patients
(see table below).

1)
|
Significantly improve outcomes of transplantations by reducing the host (transplant recipient) rejection rate
of T-cell depleted stem cells (e.g. from bone marrow) – thus supporting successful engraftment of the transplanted cells, which is the treatment for the blood cancer itself. In order to improve the safety of this cancer treatment, Veto
Cell technology has shown in preclinical studies that it can markedly reduce both the risk of GVHD and the need for using aggressive amounts of immunosuppression medications, as well as preventing viral infections that typically threaten
patients post transplantation. This safer means of deliver stem cell transplants would significantly reduce the HSCT mortality rate and therefore lead to broader use of this treatment.
|
2)
|
Substantively increase the number of transplantations by enabling successful engraftment under lower levels of
immune suppression and therefore making the therapy accessible to older and sicker patients (who today may not survive ablation).
|
3)
|
Further increase the number of transplantations by making transplantation appropriate for other indications
(for which today transplantation would be considered an inappropriately risky treatment).
|
– |
Gene modified cell therapy is considered to be one of the most promising cancer treatment approaches in decades, with companies like Kite Pharma and JUNO
Therapeutics having recently been acquired at multi-billion dollar valuations after having successfully treated relatively small numbers of patients in clinical trials.
|
– |
While gene modified treatments such as CAR-T have shown remarkable results in cancer treatment trials, their published successes to date have been mostly
limited to “autologous” blood cell cancer treatments using the patient’s own cells. There are concerns that this type of “personalized” treatment may not have favorable economics on a large-scale basis.
|
– |
The ideal, more lucrative commercial path for CAR-T and similar genetically engineered cell therapies is to become “allogeneic” or off-the-shelf product
with drug-like distribution economics and to treat a broad spectrum of cancers including solid tumors.
|
– |
Cell Source licenses Yeda’s patent applications for combining Veto Cells with genetically modified T cells and is currently exploring active collaboration
with CAR-T cell providers to move Veto and CAR-T combined cell therapy towards the clinic.
|
– |
Other than primary disease (typically blood cell cancer) the leading causes of death in unrelated donor bone marrow transplants are rejection, GVHD (Graft
vs. Host Disease), where the donor bone marrow rejects the host or recipient), and infections, which collectively are responsible for 30% of deaths after unrelated donor transplants within the first 100 days post-transplant.
|
– |
It is well established that GVHD can be prevented by T cell depletion of the bone marrow transplant. However, this procedure is also is associated with an
increased rate of graft rejection. Preclinical studies clearly suggest that this problem can be overcome by adding Veto Cells to the bone marrow transplant. However, viruses such as CMV and EBV remain a major threat to patients
post-transplant.
|
– |
Cell Source has developed a next generation Veto Cell that not only facilitates mismatched transplants but also protects the transplant recipient against
these common viruses. During the initial period after a stem cell transplantation the patient’s body undergoes an immune system reconstitution period. While the “new” immune system is building up, the patient is particularly
vulnerable to viral infections such as CMV, an infection that is typically development in about half of bone marrow transplant recipients during the first 100 days post transplantation. Veto cells can fend off CMV until such time as
the patient’s own immune system reconstitutes to the point that it can fight off the infection on its own.
|
– |
Combining GVHD prevention by using T cell depleted transplants with anti-rejection action as well as virus prevention, Veto Cell could potentially
significantly increase survival rates post-transplant.
|
– |
Based on preclinical data, veto cells can also be used to facilitate organ transplants (e.g. kidney transplant combined with a bone marrow transplant) with
partially mismatched donors and either reduce or eliminate the need for lifelong daily anti-rejection treatment currently given to even fully matched donor organ recipients.
|
– |
Cell Source is currently in the process of attaining regulatory validation for the production of its Anti-Viral Veto Cells in Europe and plans to commence
human clinical trials in the US in 2019.
|
1)
|
It has an outer surface coating that triggers attack by specific host T-cells (and only those specific
T-cells).
|
2)
|
It can annihilate an attacking T-cell without itself being damaged (specifically, it exposes or releases a
death-signaling molecule when an attacking T-cell binds to it).
|
3)
|
It has been oriented to attack cells of a simulated third party (i.e., neither host nor donor) and thus
exhibits markedly reduced risk of GVHD or graft rejection.
|
4)
|
It is long-lived and endures in the body for extended periods.
|
5)
|
It migrates to the thymus and lymph nodes.
|
1)
|
It destroys the host T-cells so they will not attack (reject) the donor bone marrow cells.
|
2)
|
It makes space in the host bone marrow for the new donor cells.
|
3)
|
It destroys diseased host blood cells so that they do not proliferate and cause relapse following the
procedure.
|
·
|
Host rejection - the myeloablative conditioning does not destroy all of the host T-cells. Those that remain
may aggressively attack the donor bone marrow cells before they can engraft.
|
·
|
“Graft versus Host Disease” (GVHD) - the transplanted cells include donor T-cells which recognize the host's
body as foreign and attack it.
|
·
|
Viral infections are a common complication from HSCT and result in 20% of early patients deaths in
unrelated-donor transplants in the US

Our success may depend, in part, on the extent to which reimbursement for the costs of therapeutic products and related treatments will be available from third-party payers such as government health administration authorities, private health insurers, managed care programs, and other organizations. Over the past decade, the cost of health care has risen significantly, and there have been numerous proposals by legislators, regulators, and third-party health care payers to curb these costs. Some of these proposals have involved limitations on the amount of reimbursement for certain products. Similar federal or state health care legislation may be adopted in the future and any products that we or our collaborators seek to commercialize may not be considered cost-effective. Adequate third-party insurance coverage may not be available for us or our collaborative partners to establish and maintain price levels that are sufficient for realization of an appropriate return on investment in product development.

Hematological malignancies (leukemias, lymphomas, etc.). One of the most effective treatments for these
conditions is SCT - stem cell transplantation (e.g. bone marrow transplantation). While the challenge finding donors for allogeneic (donor vs. patient derived) SCT can be addressed through haploidentical (partially mismatched donor)
transplants, is a risky and difficult procedure primarily because of potential conflicts between host and donor immune systems and also due to viral infections that often follow even successful SCT while the compromised new immune system
works to reconstitute itself by using the transplanted stem cells.
|
·
|
The broader set of cancers, including solid tumors, that can potentially be treated effectively using
genetically modified cells such as CAR-T cells, but also face efficacy and economic constraints due to limited persistence based on immune system issues (i.e., the need to be able to safely and efficiently deliver allogeneic CAR-T
therapy).
|
·
|
Organ failure and transplantation. A variety of conditions can be treated by the transplantation of vital
organs. However, transplantation is limited both by the insufficient supply of available donor organs and the need for lifelong, daily anti-reject treatments post-transplant.
|
·
|
Non-malignant hematological conditions (such as sickle cell anemia) which could, in many cases, also be
effectively treated by stem cell transplantation if the procedure could be made safer and more accessible by addressing conflicts between host and donor immune systems.

On February 7, 2019, MD Anderson submitted an IND application with respect to the Anti-Rejection, Anti-Viral Veto Cell to the FDA.
On February 19, 2019, we entered into an agreement with MD Andersen for the latter to perform cell production and conduct Phase I/II human clinical trials. In connection with that agreement, we committed to fund such work in the amount of approximately $2,000,000 over a two-year period beginning that same date.

Due to a lack of financial resources, we were unable to file our annual reports on Form 10-K for the years
ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, September 30, 2017, March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 on a timely basis. Management evaluated the
lack of financial resources in its assessment of our reporting controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency represented a material weakness.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cell Source, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has a significant working capital deficiency, has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized. ASC 740, “Income Taxes” requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is “more likely than not” that all, or a portion of, deferred tax assets will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. After consideration of all the information available, management believes that uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of its deferred tax assets and has, therefore, established a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the increase in the valuation allowance was approximately $717,000 and $408,000, respectively.
