Sigilon Therapeutics Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Financial Results and Business Highlights

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sigilon Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGTX), a biotechnology company that seeks to develop functional cures for chronic diseases through its Shielded Living Therapeutics™ platform, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020 as well as certain other business highlights.
“2020 was a transformational period for Sigilon marked by the achievement of numerous key regulatory, clinical, and financial milestones, which we believe have positioned us to deliver on our commitments over the next several years,” commented Rogerio Vivaldi, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Sigilon. “The modularity of our Shielded Living Therapeutics™ platform has enabled us to build a robust pipeline spanning a diverse range of chronic disorders, including rare blood, lysosomal and endocrine diseases. Notably, in 2020, our lead product candidate SIG-001 received IND and CTA clearance and we dosed the first patients in our Phase 1 /2 safety and dose-ranging study in severe to moderate-severe hemophilia A—a significant milestone for both our platform technology and the hemophilia community.”Continued Dr. Vivaldi: “While our immediate priority is developing SIG-001, looking ahead, we are also leveraging our platform to advance several additional candidates—including SIG-005 for MPS-1, SIG-007 for Fabry disease and SIG-002 for Type 1 Diabetes—into the clinic over the next two years. Having successfully completed an upsized Initial Public Offering in December, which attracted a breadth of healthcare specialists and long-term focused shareholders, we are well-positioned to execute across each of these initiatives as we work to provide functional cures for patients.”About Sigilon Therapeutics
