Tiziana Life Sciences (NASDAQ: TLSA) has expanded its Phase 2 clinical trial for intranasal foralumab in non-active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) to include prestigious medical centers across the Northeast United States. The trial now encompasses Yale University, Johns Hopkins University, Cornell University, University at Buffalo, University of Massachusetts, and Thomas Jefferson University.
The strategic selection of Northeast locations enables all trial participants to receive PET scans at a single imaging site at Invicro in New Haven, Connecticut, minimizing scan variability. This expansion is particularly significant as non-active SPMS currently has no FDA-approved therapeutic options. The company's intranasal foralumab offers a unique approach by targeting inflammation and modulating the immune system without systemic immune suppression.

Tiziana Life Sciences (TLSA) has regained compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price rule, ensuring its continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The company, which develops immunomodulation therapies, had been notified of non-compliance on July 19, 2023, when its stock failed to maintain a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for 30 consecutive business days. Tiziana successfully met the requirement by maintaining a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 or more for at least ten consecutive trading days, achieving this on August 9, 2024. As a result, the previously scheduled hearing before the Hearings Panel has been cancelled, and Tiziana's securities will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq.

The company is currently conducting a Phase 2a trial for na-SPMS and has an Expanded Access Program showing promising results.
