Tiziana Life Sciences (TLSA)Tiziana Life SciencesClinical readout

Tiziana Life Sciences, Ltd. (Nasdaq: TLSA ) (“Tiziana” or the “Company”), a biotechnology company developing breakthrough immunomodulation therapies with its lead development candidate, intranasal foralumab, a fully human, anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, today announced that the last patient has completed their last visit in the Company’s Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating intranasal foralumab in patients with non-active Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (na-SPMS).

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2a trial, known as INFORM-MS ( NCT06292923 ), enrolled a total of 48 patients across three cohorts at multiple leading U.S. clinical sites. The study is evaluating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of two doses of intranasal foralumab versus placebo over a 12-week treatment period, with the primary endpoint focused on change in microglial activation as measured by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, along with secondary clinical endpoints including the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS). Tiziana expects to lock the database this week, and announce 12-week treatment topline data in October.

Following completion of the blinded phase, all participants, including those who initially received placebo, have the opportunity to receive intranasal foralumab in a six-month follow on open-label extension (OLE). The OLE is designed to generate longer term safety and efficacy data. Encouragingly, data from the Company’s Expanded Access Program in na-SPMS have shown that most patients treated with intranasal foralumab either stabilized or improved in clinical outcomes over an extended treatment duration.

“I congratulate the entire Tiziana team, our clinical investigators, study sites, and most importantly the patients and their families who made this milestone possible,” said Ivor Elrifi, Chief Executive Officer of Tiziana Life Sciences. “Completing the last patient last visit in our Phase 2a INFORM-MS trial is a significant achievement. The dedication and hard work of everyone involved have brought us to this important point in the development of intranasal foralumab for patients living with na-SPMS, a condition with unmet medical need. We look forward to unblinding and presenting the topline data next month.”

About Foralumab Foralumab, a fully human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, is a biological drug candidate that has been shown to stimulate T regulatory cells when dosed intranasally. At present, 14 patients with Non-Active Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (na-SPMS) have been dosed in an open-label intermediate sized Expanded Access (EA) Program ( NCT06802328 ) with either an improvement or stability of disease seen within 6 months in all patients. In addition, intranasal foralumab is currently being studied in a Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, dose-ranging trial in patients with non-active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis ( NCT06292923 ), as well as additional Phase 2 trials in AD and MSA.

Intranasal foralumab is the only fully human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb) currently in clinical development. Immunomodulation by intranasal foralumab represents a novel avenue for the treatment of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative human diseases. [1],[2]
