About Cynata Therapeutics (ASX: CYP)
Cynata Therapeutics Limited (ASX: CYP) is an Australian clinical-stage stem cell and regenerative medicine company focused
on the development of therapies based on Cymerus™, a proprietary therapeutic stem cell platform technology. Cymerus™
overcomes the challenges and limitations of conventional MSC production by using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to
achieve economic manufacture of cell therapy products, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), at commercial scale
without the necessity to obtain tissue from multiple donors on an ongoing basis, and without the complexity and product
inconsistency resulting from conventional methods.
Cynata has demonstrated positive safety and efficacy data for its Cymerus™ product candidates CYP-001 and CYP-006TK in
Phase 1 clinical trials in steroid-resistant acute graft versus host disease (GvHD) and diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), respectively.
Further clinical trials are now ongoing: a Phase 2 trial of CYP-001 in GvHD under a cleared US FDA IND; a Phase 1/2 trial of
CYP-001 in patients undergoing kidney transplantation; and a Phase 3 trial of CYP-004 in osteoarthritis. In addition, Cynata has
demonstrated utility of its Cymerus™ technology in preclinical models of numerous other diseases, including critical limb
ischaemia, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, asthma, heart attack, sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and
cytokine release syndrome.
Cynata Therapeutics encourages all current investors to go paperless by registering their details with the designated registry service
provider, Automic Group.

Benefits of CymerusTM
New donors required on ongoing basis
Sourcing new donors → cost & complexity
Donor variability → MSC inconsistency
MSCs have limited reproduction capacity
→ scalability constraints
MSCs lose function with over-expansion
Inconsistent potency and quality
• No need for ongoing donor sourcing or variability
• Avoids costs & complexity of sourcing new donors
• Avoids variability, as starting material is the same for every batch
• Highly scalable: iPSCs have effectively limitless reproduction capacity
• No need to over-expand MSCs → retains potency
• Consistent, potent MSCs every time

Osteoarthritis
There’s no cure. Only symptom relief or invasive surgery.
What is Osteoarthritis?
• Chronic joint disease causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility
• Driven by inflammation and cartilage breakdown over time
• Affects ~600 million people globally; major cause of disability2
• Economic burden >US$486 billion annually in U.S. alone1
Osteoarthritis
There’s no cure. Only symptom relief and/or invasive surgery.
The Challenge
• No cure — current drugs only relieve symptoms
• Cartilage loss continues despite treatment
• Surgery is invasive, costly, and not suitable for all
• Urgent need for therapies that change course of disease
