Century Therapeutics Inc is screened out under 2 exclusion reasons spanning 1 issue category.
This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. It is a statement of values.
Century Therapeutics Inc. develops cell therapies for cancer using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This research and development process inherently involves animal testing, as preclinical studies for novel biologics are required by regulatory agencies to assess safety and efficacy before human trials. The company's business model is predicated on this standard pharmaceutical development pathway.
Specific evidence regarding the scale, nature, or alternatives to animal use in Century Therapeutics' operations has not been gathered for this review. The exclusion is based on the company's sector and the standard practices required for its product development.
Century Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived allogeneic cell therapies for cancer. The company's preclinical research and development pipeline requires animal testing as a standard, mandated step. In its annual report, the company explicitly states that "Certain laws and regulations require us to test our product candidates on animals before initiating clinical trials involving humans." This establishes animal testing as a non-optional, integral component of its product development cycle to meet regulatory requirements for investigational new drug applications.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
