About CNTY-813
CNTY-813 is Century’s potential iPSC-derived islet replacement therapy for T1D. CNTY-813 is engineered with Allo-Evasion™ 5.0, Century’s proprietary immune evasion technology, which is designed to enable durable engraftment without chronic systemic immunosuppression, the central unresolved limitation of every currently approved or late-stage cell therapy approach to T1D. Preclinical data demonstrated robust glucose-responsive function, favorable pre-clinical safety profile, scalable and reproducible manufacturing, and immune protection under alloimmune pressure. Century is targeting an IND submission for CNTY-813 in the fourth quarter of 2026.
