Gabriele Cerrone, Chairman, acting CEO and founder of Tiziana Life Sciences commented, “Tiziana is pleased to receive $3.4 million in non-dilutive funding to support our ongoing Phase 2 trial of intranasal foralumab in non-active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (na-SPMS) as well as our work in Alzheimer's Disease. We continue to explore all avenues to pursue further non-dilutive funding in the near term.”

About Foralumab

Activated T cells play an important role in the inflammatory process. Foralumab, the only fully human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb), binds to the T cell receptor and dampens inflammation by modulating T cell function, thereby suppressing effector features in multiple immune cell subsets. This effect has been demonstrated in patients with COVID and with multiple sclerosis, as well as in healthy normal subjects. The non-active SPMS intranasal foralumab Phase 2 trial (NCT06292923) began screening patients in November of 2023. Immunomodulation by nasal anti-CD3 mAb represents a novel avenue for treatment of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative human diseases.^[1],[2]
