Breakthrough GvHD Therapy for Safer TransplantsEvery three minutes, someone is diagnosed with life-threatening blood cancer, leading to around 50,000 bone marrow transplants (BMT) annually. However, 40% of BMT recipients face the deadly challenge of Graft-versus-Host Disease (GvHD), a life-threatening inflammatory disease where donor T-cells attack the patient’s healthy cells.
HasenTech's HT-01 treatment is designed to make potentially curative bone marrow transplants safer and more effective.

Biotech Innovation ✦ Dampening Inflammation
Led by a pioneering leadership team, HasenTech is a biotechnology firm harnessing the potential of a natural exopolysaccharide (EPS), sugars found on the surface of the harmless soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis, as a new treatment for life changing and often fatal autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
EPS-based treatment of recipients has been shown to dampen inflammation and suppress immune responses in mice. Further exploration holds the promise of unlocking solution for the better treatment of a wide variety of human diseases, including Graft-versus-Host Disease (GvHD), irritable bowel disease (IBD), and Crohn’s disease and others.
