Tiziana Life Sciences Ltd. (NASDAQ:TLSA) shares are up on Wednesday following the announcement of positive preclinical data regarding its lead candidate, intranasal foralumab.

Data Points To Cognitive Benefits And Reduced Neuroinflammation

The recent data highlight nasal anti-CD3’s potential in reversing cognitive decline associated with aging, which is a significant concern in neurodegenerative diseases.

Tiziana’s chairman, Howard Weiner, noted that these results reinforce the mechanism of action of intranasal foralumab, which stimulates regulatory T cells to reduce neuroinflammation.

Further emphasizing the importance of this research, CEO Ivor Elrifi stated that the findings support ongoing clinical programs for foralumab in conditions like Non-Active Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease.

The company is advancing its clinical trials while expanding its preclinical research into additional areas, including aging-related cognitive impairment.
