Sandy MacRae, Chief Executive Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: Thank you Louise and good afternoon to everyone joining the call today. This quarter we made important advances across both our clinical and preclinical pipeline. In June, we were happy to announce the positive top line results from a registrational STAR in Fabry disease, taking us one step closer on the path towards potential approval of this promising treatment for Fabry disease patients. This month we also became a clinical stage neurology genomic medicine company with the initiation of our first clinical site in the Phase onetwo STAND study in chronic neuropathic pain. This is an important achievement and means we are on track to generate clinical data for this programme anticipated towards the 2026.

Finally, earlier this quarter we held a productive meeting with The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Product Regulatory Agency, or MHRA, for our pre clinical prion disease programme and are on track for a planned CTA submission for this programme as early as mid-twenty twenty six. I’m proud of the progress and proud of my Sangamo colleagues who continue to work tirelessly to advance our pipeline while operating in such a challenging environment. Let me now hand directly to Natalie Dubois Stringfellow, our Chief Development Officer, to provide more context on these important programmes. I will then close the call by summarising the key takeaways from this quarter and will put these updates into perspective. Natalie?

Natalie Dubois Stringshallo, Chief Development Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: Thank you, Sandy. First, I am pleased to share details of the recent positive top line results from the registrational Phase onetwo STAR study evaluating Isaralgagene Sivaparvovec or ST-nine twenty, our investigational gene therapy for the treatment of adults with Fabry disease. Following a single dose of ST920, a positive mean annualized estimated glomerular filtration rate or EGFR slope of almost two was observed at fifty two weeks across all 32 dose patients in this study. The FDA has agreed that mean eGFR slope will serve as the primary basis of approval under the accelerated approval pathway. Furthermore, a positive annualized eGFR slope of 1.7 was observed for the nineteen patients who have achieved two years of follow-up.

I want to take a moment to reflect upon this important accomplishment. As a reminder, the average untreated Fabry patient experiences an annual decline in eGFR slope of minus three or minus four. Achieving a positive mean eGFR slope across all thirty two dose patients after one year and across the nineteen patients who have reached two years is remarkable. As recommended by the FDA, we plan to compare the annualized mean eGFR slope of ST920 with approved treatment for Fabry disease by performing a meta analysis of published studies. According to observational studies, other marketed treatment options such as Repligal, Fabrazyme, and Galafold show a decline in annualized eGFR slope of minus 2.2 to minus 0.4.

Key secondary endpoints in the ST920 study were also positive. We continue to see strong durability in the study, with elevated expression of alpha GalA activity maintained for up to four point five years for the longest treated patient and plasma lysosome Gb3 level that remained generally stable following the withdrawal of enzyme replacement therapy or ERT. We are excited to share for the first time a stabilization in cardiac endpoint, including a stabilization in cardiac function and morphological and biomarker data in the thirty two patients with fifty two weeks of follow-up. Measurement by MRI, including left ventricular mass, left ventricular mass index, left ventricular myocardial global longitudinal strain, T1 and T2 mapping, and diastolic and end systolic volume remained stable over one year. Furthermore, less ventricular ejection fraction measured by echo as well as cardiac biomarker, such as troponin and anti proBNP have remained stable in all patients at one year of follow-up.

These data are striking, partially given that cardiac function in Fabry patients tends to decline over time and is the leading cause of death in Fabry disease. Patient demonstrated a range of other clinical benefit, including improvement in disease severity reported in the FOS MSSI age adjusted score and statistically and clinically significant improvement in the SF-thirty six quality of life scores, including a change of plus 15 in the role physical score, plus 10 in the vitality score, and plus nine in the bodily pain score at fifty two weeks compared to baseline. Statistically significant improvement in the gastrointestinal symptom rating scale compared to baseline were also observed. I would like to particularly emphasize that ST-nine twenty has been well tolerated in the study. The majority of adverse events were grade one or two in nature without the need for preconditioning.

There was no safety related study discontinuation or death. We believe that the totality of this compelling data demonstrate the potential for a single dose of ST-nine twenty to treat the underlying pathology of Fabry disease and provide meaningful clinical benefit above current standard of care. ST-nine twenty has shown the potential to transform the lives of patients, and we have observed additional clinical benefit in some, including the reduction and elimination in pain medication usage and the resumption of sweating, which has enabled this patient to perform physical tasks and exercise they were previously unable to do. Following dosing with ST-nine twenty, all patients who came in the study on ERT were able to safely withdraw from ERT, with one patient now of ERT for more than three years. In so doing, this patient have already avoided more than 1,000 biweekly ERT infusion, each of which can last up to six hours.

What a transformation in the life of these Fabry disease patients. Since the top line readout in June 2025, a physician has decided to resume ERT for one of their treated patients who had withdrawn from ERT. This patient received ST-nine twenty more than two and a half years ago, maintained supraphysiological level of alpha GalA activity, and their ELISA Gb3 levels were generally stable as of the top line readout date. All of the other 17 patients who began the study on ERT and have withdrawn from ERT continue to remain off ERT as of today, with many experiencing benefit of ST-nine twenty over and above what they were experiencing with ERT alone. All thirty two patients have transitioned in the long term follow-up study and the STAR study is now complete.

We continue to engage with the FDA ahead of our anticipated BLA submission under the Accelerate Approval Pathway planned for as early as the first quarter of twenty twenty six. We are also looking forward to sharing additional clinical data at the fifteenth International Congress of Inborn Errors of Metabolism, or ICIEM twenty twenty five, taking place September 2025 in Kyoto, Japan. Before we move on, and on behalf of our entire Fabry team at Sangamo, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank the patient and investigator who have participated in the STAR study. Your dedication and commitment have been invaluable as we advance this treatment for such a debilitating and multifaceted condition towards registration. Thank you.

Turning now to our neurology pipeline program, as Sandy shared, this quarter we became a clinical stage neurology genomic medicine company with the initiation of our first clinical site in the Phase onetwo STANT study evaluating ST-five zero three, our investigational epigenetic regulator for patients with intractable pain due to idiopathic small fiber neuropathy, or ISFN. This is an important milestone for Sangamo, and we’re excited to be identifying patients in our first ever neurology clinical trial. I want to thank everyone involved. We anticipate activating at least eight other clinical sites in the coming months, which we believe will further accelerate patient enrollment. We expect to dose the first patient in the fall of this year and anticipate having preliminary proof of efficacy data in the 2026.

Our preclinical data for this program is compelling. By directly targeting the SCN9A gene, SC503 has shown to precisely and potently reduce the expression of 91.7 sodium channels in sensory neurons in animal models and significantly reduce pain hypersensitivity following a single intrathecal administration. SC-five zero three has been well tolerated in nonhuman primates with no off target effect observed, And we plan to present updated nonclinical data at the Ninth International Congress of Neuropathic Pain taking place September ’6 in Berlin, Germany. Finally, I am pleased to share progress in ST-five zero six, our epigenetic regulator for the treatment of prion disease to be delivered intravenously using STAG BBB. Earlier this quarter, we held a productive meeting with The UK’s MHRA and aligned on the planned nonclinical safety study, as well as the proposed clinical study design.

We appreciated the collaborative nature of the discussion and their acknowledgment of the urgency to find a treatment for prion disease patients. We were also extremely proud to be selected to present during the prestigious Presidential Symposium at the recent ASGCT Annual Meeting in New Orleans, where we showcased our potent combination of epigenetic regulation and capsid delivery technology in prion disease, including the profound survival benefit we observed when administered to post symptomatic mice. In addition, we described the sustained brain wide suppression of prion protein expression in both mouse and nonhuman primate model, supporting the potential of ST-five zero six as a one time therapeutic approach for prion disease. We have completed dose ranging finding study and are preparing for the GLP tox study ahead of an anticipated CTA submission expected as early as mid-twenty twenty six. I would like now to hand it back to Sandy for closing remarks.

Sandy?

Sandy MacRae, Chief Executive Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: Thank you, Natalie. To close, we made strong pipeline advances this quarter. Firstly, we announced positive top line results from the registrational STAR study in Fabry disease. We observed a positive mean annualised eGFR score at fifty two weeks across all dosed patients in the study, which the FDA has agreed will serve as a primary basis of approval. Beyond renal function, we are pleased to observe a range of positive secondary endpoints and broader quality of life data, including a stabilization in cardiac endpoints.

And importantly, ST-nine twenty continued to be very well tolerated in the study without the need for preconditioning. We continue to engage with the FDA ahead of the planned BLA submission expected as early as the first quarter of twenty twenty six. Secondly, this quarter we became a clinical stage neurology genomic medicine company, with the initiation of the first clinical site for the Phase onetwo STAND study in chronic neuropathic pain. We expect to dose the first patient in the fall and anticipate having preliminary proof of efficacy data in the 2026. And thirdly, we held a productive meeting with MHRA for ST506 in Crohn’s disease ahead of an anticipated CTA submission as early as mid-twenty six.

Moving now to broader business updates, earlier this quarter we completed an equity offering that we hope will bridge us to an anticipated Fabry commercialisation agreement. Our current cash runway is expected to fund our planned operations into the 2025, and we remain highly focused on our critical task of securing a fabric commercialisation partner in the near term. We continue to advance business development negotiations for that potential Fabry commercialization agreement and are also engaging in broader business development discussions across our Sangamo pipeline and platforms, including our Mint platform. We remain focused on solving our long term funding needs in order to enable us to advance our promising neurology genomic medicine pipeline. Operator, please open the line for questions.

Conference Operator: Thank you. At this time, we will conduct a question and answer session. As a reminder, to ask a question, you will need to press 11 on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, please press 11 again. Please stand by while we compile the Q and A roster.

The first question comes from the line of Maury Raycroft of Jefferies. Maury, please go ahead.

James, Analyst, Jefferies: Hi, this is James on for Maury. Congrats on the progress, and thanks for taking our questions. To start off, has the team already held the pre BLA meeting with the FDA to discuss the potential path to approval using the one year eGFR data as a predictor for the two year EGFR benefit versus having to confirm the clinical benefit with two years of data from all patients? And if you had that meeting, could you share any takeaways from that discussion? Also, how important is the FDA alignment on the two year eGFR prediction in the context of ongoing partner discussions?

And I have a follow-up.

Sandy MacRae, Chief Executive Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: Thank you for the question. So let me just restate. We held a meeting last year with the FDA, where they agreed on accelerated approval, and at that meeting they said that we could achieve accelerated approval with one year EGFR data, and included a clause in it that said we might wish to submit two year data when that was available. We currently have 32 patients at one year and 19 patients at two year, The two data sets are very similar and complementary. We have not yet held our pre BLA meeting, because it’s not the time to do it yet, and have plans in place of when and how we’re going to do that.

The pre BLA meeting is very much an operational meeting where you agree with the agency on what it is that you have to do to fulfill the BLA requirements, what sections, how it has to be presented, etc. We have no expectation that the agency will require anything other than the one year data for accelerated approval, and we are sure that we will end up providing them with yearly updates as these patients advance. So just to remind you all, the earliest patient is now four and a half years out and the data looks very consistent and very stable.

James, Analyst, Jefferies: Got it, thanks for that. And then just another one, for the upcoming presentation SSIEM, what additional insights should we anticipate? Can we expect any details at the conference regarding the meta analysis or new baseline characteristics such as proteinuria? Also, will you show individual eGFR trajectories or alpha gal levels for each patient, or just the average?

Sandy MacRae, Chief Executive Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: So I’ll pass this on to Natalie, but before I do that I’ll say it would be really unusual in a patient dataset of 32 patients where it’s comparing the body of patients before compared to after, to dissect and show each individual patient. So we don’t intend to show that at the meeting in Japan. We may do that as part of a larger publication that we’re working on at the moment. Natalie?

Natalie Dubois Stringshallo, Chief Development Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: Yeah, thank you, Sandy. We look forward to sharing additional clinical data at the ICIM conference. We plan to present the top line data with additional details compared to the press release issued back in June. We encourage you to review the data presented at ICIM that will also be available in our website once the embargo has lifted.

Sandy MacRae, Chief Executive Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: Got it. But Natalie, our plans would be to say a little more about the Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.

Natalie Dubois Stringshallo, Chief Development Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: Yeah. There will be more details on some of the endpoint. We’re still finalizing the presentation, but there absolutely will be additional details.

James, Analyst, Jefferies: Got it. Thanks for taking my questions. I’ll hop back in the queue.

Conference Operator: One moment for your next question. The next question comes from the line of D. Cohen. Ritu, please go ahead.

James, Analyst, Jefferies: Hi, Sandy. This is Joshua Fleishman on the line for Ritu. Thanks for taking our question. Curious, how do you believe ST-five zero three’s efficacy in Nav1.7 will compare to the recent small molecule Nav1.8 inhibitors? And have recent trial outcomes in Nav1.8 changed your conviction in Nav1.7 as a target?

Thank you.

Sandy MacRae, Chief Executive Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: So thank you very much for your question, and we’ve spent a lot of time looking at that data and discussing it, and landed that we are even more convinced that NAF 1.7 was the right target for us to go for. As I think we’ve discussed before, because we are using a genomic way to target it and target the specific regulatory sequences of that gene, we could have gone for NAF1.8 or NAF1.7. Our belief was that the NaF1.7 control of the action potential that controls the pain signal was a more fundamental control. One of the real pieces of evidence for that is that there are people out there that have got spontaneous mutations of NaF1.7 that just don’t feel any pain, whereas very rare incidences reported of NaF1.8 mutations and they don’t seem to have complete suppression of pain. So perhaps it isn’t so surprising that the 1.8 results reported by Vertex were not as efficacious as had been hoped.

So we are at the stage now of activating the study and hopefully we’ll have identified and recruited a patient soon and we look forward to this, it’s a dose range finding study and in our most studies we see evidence of a dose range response even in individual groups of mice and we look forward to showing the suppression of pain because it’s a really important unmet medical need. Great credit to Lily and Vertex and others who are now pushing forward with non opiate pain relief, but we believe Nav1.7 is the right target to go for.

Joshua Fleishman, Analyst, Cohen: Great. Thank you so much, Sandy.

Conference Operator: The next question comes from the line of Yanan Zhu of Wells Fargo. Yanan, please go ahead.

Kwan, Analyst, Wells Fargo: Hi. Thanks for taking our questions. This is Kwan on for Yanan. So our question is also around Fabry. We are wondering, have you done any survey to either patients or physicians to understand that with the current product profile, what could be the potential adoption rate?

Thank you.

Sandy MacRae, Chief Executive Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: Can you just repeat that question again, please?

Kwan, Analyst, Wells Fargo: Sure. We’re wondering, have you done any survey to either physicians or patients to understand that, with the current product profile, what could be the potential adoption rate?

Sandy MacRae, Chief Executive Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: Natalie, you spent a lot of time with the patient support groups. What’s your thoughts on this?

Natalie Dubois Stringshallo, Chief Development Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: Yeah, so from the patient advocacy group, they are waiting for better solution for a long time. The current standard of care is burdensome, there is some small improvement in their disease, but it really does not address all the symptom of the disease. The birth, you know, it’s a biweekly infusion that lasts many hours, which really impact their daily life. What we showed in our top line results for our patient that we have really improvement in the quality of life, it’s a one time injection and patients are uniformly saying this is what they’re waiting for for a long time. So, they’re really eager to see this drug approved.

Some of the patient, because it’s a genetic condition, want their family to have access to the product as soon as possible. So, we have an overwhelming response from the patient community. Our PI, our principal investigators that are taking care of those patients are also extremely enthusiastic when they’re reviewing the data. They’re really very impressed with what we’ve accomplished. So we do believe that the adoption rate, both from the patient side and the doc side, will be very impressive.

Sandy MacRae, Chief Executive Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: And, Nathalie, you met with cardiac experts recently, and they were very impressed

Natalie Dubois Stringshallo, Chief Development Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: with Yes, that we’ve met with cardiac expert to review our top line data with all the cardiac endpoint I mentioned. First of all, they mentioned that we had many, many measures in the cardiac function that other study didn’t have that was the most comprehensive set of data and they were also very impressed with the data and the stabilization of the cardiac function. So, know, we’re focusing for the primary basis approval on the EGFR slope and the renal function, but this is also a very important aspect of Fabry disease.

Sandy MacRae, Chief Executive Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: When we go to these conferences, we often have Fabry patients come to us and tell us that they have received our treatment and how much their life has changed. That kind of conversation spreads throughout the Fabry support groups and populations. Feel there is a real energy and anticipation. The

Kwan, Analyst, Wells Fargo: final thing

Sandy MacRae, Chief Executive Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: I would say is, if you look at the 17 patients who came in on ERT who have remained off of ERT and that’s over a thousand infusions and they feel better and SF-thirty the six scores say that they are better on this treatment. And so I really look forward to solving the commercial partner and getting this medicine to patients as soon as possible.

Kwan, Analyst, Wells Fargo: Thanks for the colors. And don’t know if you can comment on this, but with the potential partners, do they share the same view or are they looking for something else beyond what you have shared with the public? Thank you. So

Sandy MacRae, Chief Executive Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: uniformly, all of the partners, all the potential partners have said how excited they are of the data. They are completely convinced that this is a medicine that is both safe and shows an effectiveness and a benefit to patients. I don’t think, I am sure you like us, are aware of the environment for gene therapy at the moment in The United States and the stability that we all hope for and look for from the agency. Sangamo has had great interactions with the agency and continues to have them, and the partners just want to know that this is a stable place where their medicine will be well appreciated and taken forward. There is a second piece that makes the Sangamo discussions a little unusual, in that since we got accelerated approval last year, we have compressed the activities that take you to the BLA submission into a very short time.

Which means that there are lots of interactions and lots of data points and new information coming where partners will have in the past been interested in seeing the top line data, have wanted to know that we have, as we do have, agreement on the CMC. So we feel that this product is increasingly de risked and now for the partners, that gives them comfort to be able to move ahead. And I’m very pleased with the pace of negotiations at the moment and look forward to finding a positive way through this.

Kwan, Analyst, Wells Fargo: Got it. Thank you so much for all the colors.

Conference Operator: Gina, please go ahead.

Tony, Analyst: Hi. This is Tony on for Gina. I guess just questions on upcoming updates in September. What data points should we be looking for for the pain program in terms of how they would compare to existing NAB programs? And then also, what incremental color should we expect for the Fabry update?

Natalie Dubois Stringshallo, Chief Development Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: So the data that we’ll be presenting at the conference in Berlin is preclinical data and we will share more information about our GLP tox study in NHP and there will be also all the information on the mouse data and the non GLP tox study. But the additional GLP showing the safety and efficacy of the product will be presented.

Tony, Analyst: Thank you.

Conference Operator: One moment for your next question. The next question comes from the line of Luis Santos of H. C. Wainwright. Luis, please go ahead.

Joshua Fleishman, Analyst, Cohen: Hi, everyone. Thank you for taking our questions. And my question is mostly regarding your cash runway and cash burn associated with especially associated with initiation of the STAND trial where you plan to continue activating more sites and dosing the first patients by the end of the year? How is that going to weigh on your cash burn? And also, do you have any updates on your MIN platform?

Any recent additional data or coming? Thank you so much.

Pratisha Durababu, Chief Financial Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: Hi, Luis. This is Patricia. I’ll take the first one. So, our intention is to continue taking the NAAD 1.7 program forward and dose patients as intended. As Sandy mentioned, our number one priority is finding a Fabry commercialization partner, and that will help us solve for our funding needs in both in the long term and the short term.

And maybe let me turn it over to Greg to answer the question on the platform.

Tony, Analyst: Yeah, thanks Louise. We were happy to show the updates on the Mint platform at ASGCT recently. You probably saw lots of data there in relation to improvements in integration rates in primary cell types. So we’re happy to share that data this year and we continue to show that data to interested parties and engage in discussions with parties interested in collaborating with us.

Sandy MacRae, Chief Executive Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: And we have a number of ongoing discussions on the Mint platform.

Conference Operator: Thank

Joshua Fleishman, Analyst, Cohen: you. And going back to the STAND trial, you said that you might have data by the end of next year. What kind of data should we expect?

Natalie Dubois Stringshallo, Chief Development Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: So, you can expect safety data from the patient and early efficacy data for the dose escalation trial.

Joshua Fleishman, Analyst, Cohen: Got it. Thank you so much.

Sandy MacRae, Chief Executive Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: Louise, you can be sure we’re doing all the standard pain study scores, sleep assessment scores, even suicidality scores because these are patients whose life is dominated and tragically dominated by this. We will be on sorry, it would be a twelve week endpoint that we would be showing by the end of next year, but we’ll be following them long term, because we think the huge advantage of Nav1.7 as a genomic medicine is the long term benefit that it bring to the patients.

Louise Wilkie, Head of Investor Relations and Corporate Communications, Sangamo Therapeutics: Yeah, we expect to Go see a

Joshua Fleishman, Analyst, Cohen: ahead.

Natalie Dubois Stringshallo, Chief Development Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: No, no, sorry. Go ahead, please.

Joshua Fleishman, Analyst, Cohen: I was just going to say thank you for the other color, but if you have more color, always welcome.

Natalie Dubois Stringshallo, Chief Development Officer, Sangamo Therapeutics: No, I think Sandy mentioned it, so we’re good.

Kwan, Analyst, Wells Fargo: Thank you.

Conference Operator: I am showing no further questions at this time. I would now like to turn the call back to Louise Wilkie for closing remarks.

Louise Wilkie, Head of Investor Relations and Corporate Communications, Sangamo Therapeutics: Thank you once again for joining us today and for your questions. As a reminder, you can access our presentation on the Investor Relations section of the Sangamo website. We look forward to keeping you updated on our future developments.

Conference Operator: Thank you for your participation in today’s conference. This does conclude the conference. You may now disconnect.
