| Organization | 1. OrganizationSana Biotechnology, Inc. (the Company or Sana) is a biotechnology company focusing on utilizing engineered cells as medicines. The Company’s operations to date have included identifying and developing potential product candidates, executing preclinical studies, establishing manufacturing capabilities, preparing for and executing clinical trials of its product candidates and supporting clinical trials of product candidates developed using its technologies, acquiring technologies, staffing the Company, business planning, establishing and maintaining the Company’s intellectual property portfolio, raising capital, and providing general and administrative support for these operations. Liquidity and capital resourcesThe Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties similar to other biotechnology companies in the development stage, including, but not limited to, those related to the need to obtain adequate additional funding, possible failure of preclinical testing or clinical trials, the need to obtain marketing approval for its product candidates, building its manufacturing capabilities, competitors developing new technological innovations, the need to successfully commercialize and gain market acceptance of the Company’s products, the need to protect the Company’s intellectual property and proprietary technologies, and the need to attract and retain key scientific and management personnel. If the Company does not successfully commercialize or partner any of its product candidates, it will be unable to generate product revenue or achieve profitability. Until such time that the Company can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, it expects to finance its operations with the proceeds from additional equity or debt financings or capital obtained in connection with strategic collaborations or licensing or other arrangements. If additional financing is required, the Company may not be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to it or at all. In April 2026, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the SPA) with Mayo Clinic pursuant to which Mayo Clinic purchased 7.5 million shares (the Initial Shares) of the Company’s common stock at a price of $3.33 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $25.0 million, and may elect, on or prior to August 31, 2026, to purchase an additional 7.5 million shares (the Additional Shares) of the Company’s common stock at a price of $3.33 per share for additional gross proceeds of approximately $25.0 million. As of the filing of this Quarterly Report, Mayo Clinic has not elected to purchase the Additional Shares. In March 2026, the Company entered into an amended and restated sales agreement (the Sales Agreement) with TD Securities (USA) LLC (TD Cowen), acting as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell through TD Cowen shares of the Company's common stock from time to time in a series of one or more at the market equity offerings, and filed a prospectus supplement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pursuant to which it may offer and sell up to $150.0 million of shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement (collectively, the ATM facility). During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company sold an aggregate of 21.6 million shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement for net proceeds of $68.6 million, after deducting commissions and expenses. In August 2025, the Company completed an underwritten public offering pursuant to which it sold 24.3 million shares of its common stock, including 3.4 million shares pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares, and pre-funded warrants to purchase 1.5 million shares of its common stock for net proceeds of approximately $80.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The Company has incurred operating losses each year since inception and expects such losses to continue for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $160.5 million, and an accumulated deficit of $2.0 billion, which includes cumulative non-cash charges related to the revaluation of success payment liabilities and contingent consideration of $22.1 million and $99.6 million, respectively. Management has determined that the Company’s current capital resources may not be sufficient to fund its planned operations for at least one year from the date of this Quarterly Report, and there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern will depend on, among other things, its ability to obtain additional funding and appropriately manage the amount of cash used to fund its operations. The Company plans to address this condition through equity or debt offerings or capital obtained in connection with strategic collaborations or licensing or other arrangements. If the Company is unable to obtain such financing, it may be required to pursue alternative sources of capital which may not be available to it on favorable terms, if at all, or significantly modify its operational plans by delaying, reducing the scope of, or ceasing some or all of its research and development programs, or pursue strategic alternatives. |
