Event Summary

Tiziana Life Sciences announced the publication of positive preclinical data for its lead candidate, intranasal foralumab, in a bioRxiv preprint. The study, co-authored by Akiko Iwasaki and Howard L. Weiner, demonstrated that nasal anti-CD3 treatment significantly reduces neuroinflammation, boosts regulatory T cells in the brain, restores hippocampal neurogenesis, and improves short-term memory in a Long COVID mouse model. Ivor Elrifi, CEO of Tiziana Life Sciences, highlighted that these results support the mechanistic foundation for ongoing programs in multiple sclerosis, MSA, Alzheimer's disease, and ALS. The findings suggest a promising, non-invasive strategy to address 'brain fog' in Long COVID patients.
