Tiziana Life to dose first patient with moderate Alzheimer’s with foralumab

Tiziana Life Sciences announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, FDA, has allowed intranasal foralumab to be used under an Expanded Access, EA, IND in its first patient with moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Expanded access IND’s provide a pathway for patients to gain access to investigational drugs, biologics, and medical devices used to diagnose, monitor, or treat patients with serious diseases or conditions for which there are no comparable or satisfactory therapy options available outside of clinical trials. Gabriele Cerrone, Chairman, acting CEO and founder of Tiziana Life Sciences commented, “In addition to our previously announced IND clearance of the Phase 2a early symptomatic Alzheimer’s Disease study, this additional FDA clearance allows Tiziana to also study intranasal foralumab in patients with moderate Alzheimer’s Disease who do not qualify for approved therapies.”
