• Patients In the Intermediate Size Patient Population Expanded Access (EA) Program Will Receive Intranasal Foralumab As Part of the At-Home Dosing Initiative

• Greater Than 1 year Safety Exposure to anti-CD3 Foralumab Has Been Well-Tolerated

NEW YORK, Oct. 18, 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, is pleased to announce a significant milestone in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has allowed multiple sclerosis patients to take home and self-administer Intranasal Foralumab, a groundbreaking treatment developed by Tiziana Life Sciences. Delivery Device Training materials have been developed and refined in collaboration with the FDA, and patients will be trained in the use of the nasal device in accordance with these materials.

Intranasal Foralumab, a novel biologic therapy, has demonstrated remarkable potential in the management of multiple sclerosis. The FDA’s decision to allow patients to self-administer this treatment at home marks a significant advancement in the accessibility and convenience of care for those living with this challenging condition.

“Traditionally, MS patients have had to visit healthcare facilities for treatment, which could be inconvenient and burdensome. The FDA’s approval for home dosing of Foralumab will transform the way patients manage their condition, offering them greater control over their treatment schedules and the convenience of receiving care in their familiar environment,” commented Gabriele Cerrone, Chairman, acting CEO and founder of Tiziana Life Sciences on this landmark decision, saying, “We are elated with the FDA’s allowance for home dosing of Intranasal Foralumab. This step significantly aligns with our mission to make innovative therapies more accessible to patients and ultimately improve their quality of life. We believe that this treatment approach will revolutionize the way multiple sclerosis patients manage their condition.”

Dr. William A. Clementi, Chief Development Officer of Tiziana commented, “Since the beginning of the na-SPMS EA program, patients have been going to the MS clinic at Mass General Brigham to receive their 3-times a week dosing. Now, these patients will only need to go to the clinic once every 3 weeks. This dosing and medical evaluation schedule will also be mirrored in our Phase 2a double-blind study, which is due to start in November.”
