Tiziana Life Sciences presented an overview of their transformational immunotherapy platform enabling alternative routes of administration. Their proprietary technologies allow for oral, nasal, and inhalation delivery of antibodies, which currently require IV administration. They highlighted clinical progress including trials of their lead asset foralumab administered intranasally for progressive MS and COVID-19. Results demonstrated safety and positive clinical responses. Tiziana is also developing other pipeline assets and expanding their management team and scientific advisory board.

Collaboration with Precision Biosciences on use of Foralumab in
Conjunction with their CAR-T Candidates for Cancer Treatment
Cy/Flu: cyclophosphamide/fludarabine
• Recurrence rates of cancer in patients treated with CAR-T without lymphodepletion is very
high due to poor survival of CAR-T cells
• Currently, CAR-T is conducted with pre-conditioning with lymphodepletion agents (Cy/Flu) to
improve survival of CAR-T cells in patients
• Cy/Flu treatment is highly toxic resulting in deaths of patients
• Foralumab is the only fully human anti-CD3 mAb that may have the potential to be used as
safe lymphodepleting agent.
• TLSA patented the use of foralumab in conjunction with CAR-T to enhance long-term
success in cancer treatment
• TLSA executed an agreement with Precision Bio (NASDAQ:DTIL) for use of foralumab in
conjunction with their allogeneic CAR-T for cancer treatment of cancer
- Upfront payments
- Multiple milestone payments for success
- Royalty for commercialized product
- Separate royalties for subsequent CAR-T products

Individual Patient Expanded Access (IPA) Clinical Study in MS
The first patient has safely completed 3 months of dosing; No apparent
safety issues so far
Collected data are being analysed for safety tolerability and PK of nasally
administered foralumab. Clinical responses are encouraging.
The next follow up trial is being planned
A similar clinical study with nasally administered foralumab in Europe is
being explored
FDA allowed us to conduct a trial under individual access program to
evaluate nasally administered foralumab with dosing regimen (3 times/wk
for 3 months).
