NEW YORK, May 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tiziana Life Sciences Ltd. (Nasdaq: TLSA) (“Tiziana” or the “Company”), a biotechnology company developing breakthrough immunomodulation therapies via novel routes of drug delivery, today announced that its Chief Medical Officer is presenting at the Hanson Wade Novel Nasal Formulation and Delivery Summit on May 17 in San Diego.

“I was truly honored when Hanson Wade contacted me requesting that I speak at its Novel Nasal Formulation and Delivery Summit¹,” stated Matthew W. Davis, M.D., RPh, Chief Medical Officer of Tiziana. “I will be joined at the summit by several distinguished speakers from the industry and the FDA.²   The continued interest we receive on our intranasal foralumab program from pharma, investors and the media demonstrates that our novel approach to deliver the only fully human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody intranasally has captured the attention of the medical community.”

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. Intranasal foralumab Phase 2 trials are expected to start in the third quarter of 2023 in patients with non-active SPMS. Immunomodulation by nasal anti-CD3 mAb represents a novel avenue for treatment of inflammatory human diseases.³
