Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Tiziana Life Sciences Ltd (TLSA) reports that the last patient has completed the last visit in its Phase 2a INFORM-MS clinical trial of intranasal foralumab in non-active Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (na-SPMS).

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolled 48 patients across three cohorts at multiple U.S. sites and evaluated two doses of intranasal foralumab versus placebo over 12 weeks. The primary endpoint is change in microglial activation measured by PET imaging, with secondary endpoints including EDSS and MFIS. Tiziana expects to lock the database this week and announce 12-week topline data in October. All participants can enter a six-month open-label extension to receive intranasal foralumab, and 14 na-SPMS patients have already been treated in an Expanded Access Program, where the company reports improvement or stability of disease within six months in all patients.

INFORM-MS enrollment 48 patients Randomized Phase 2a na-SPMS trial across three cohorts at multiple U.S. sites
Blinded treatment duration 12 weeks Treatment period for intranasal foralumab versus placebo in INFORM-MS
Open-label extension duration 6 months Follow-on intranasal foralumab treatment offered to all INFORM-MS participants
Expanded Access patients 14 patients na-SPMS patients dosed with intranasal foralumab in an intermediate-sized Expanded Access Program
Expanded Access 6‑month outcome Improvement or stability in all patients within 6 months Clinical outcomes reported for 14 na-SPMS patients on intranasal foralumab
Topline data timing October Planned announcement of 12-week treatment topline data from INFORM-MS
Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis medical
"patients with non-active Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (na-SPMS)"
A long-term form of multiple sclerosis that typically begins with episodes of symptoms that come and go, then shifts into a phase of steady worsening without clear recovery—like a car that moves forward in fits and starts and then gradually loses speed for good. It matters to investors because the condition creates a persistent need for new treatments, long-term care services, and medical devices, shaping market size, clinical trial design, regulatory risk, and reimbursement dynamics in the healthcare sector.
intranasal foralumab medical
"Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating intranasal foralumab in patients"
Intranasal foralumab is an experimental antibody medication given as a spray or drops into the nose that aims to change how the immune system behaves rather than attack a virus directly. Investors care because results from trials, safety findings, and regulatory decisions determine whether this approach can become a marketed therapy, affecting a company’s future sales, development costs and competitive position — similar to betting on a new product that could reshape a company’s revenue stream.
microglial activation medical
"primary endpoint focused on change in microglial activation as measured"
Microglial activation is when the brain’s resident immune cells — microglia — switch from a resting, maintenance role into an alert, defensive state, similar to a neighborhood cleanup crew suddenly racing to douse a small fire. For investors, this matters because persistent or excessive activation is a hallmark of many neurological diseases, affects how drugs perform in trials, and can drive regulatory and market reactions to therapies aimed at calming or harnessing this response.
positron emission tomography (PET) medical
"as measured by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging"
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging method that uses tiny amounts of radioactive tracer to create detailed pictures of biological activity inside the body, like a camera that highlights where cells are most active. For investors, PET matters because it helps diagnose disease, track how well drugs or treatments are working, and drives demand for scanners, tracer production and clinical trial services—factors that can affect company revenues and regulatory outcomes.
Expanded Access Program medical
"data from the Company’s Expanded Access Program in na-SPMS have shown"
A program that allows patients with serious or life‑threatening conditions to receive an experimental drug or therapy before it is fully approved by regulators, when they cannot join clinical trials. Investors care because expanded access can change a treatment’s market perception, create early real‑world safety or demand signals, and affect regulatory timelines and potential revenue — like a pre‑order system that also reveals how the product performs outside controlled testing.
open-label extension medical
"receive intranasal foralumab in a six-month follow on open-label extension"
An open-label extension is a continuation of a clinical trial where all participants and researchers know which treatment is being given, often after an initial blinded phase. It allows further study of a drug's long-term safety and effectiveness. For investors, it can indicate ongoing interest and confidence in a product's potential, influencing perceptions of its future value.

Tiziana Announces Last Patient Completes Last Visit in Phase 2a INFORM-MS Trial of Intranasal Foralumab

 

BOSTON, MA, September 21, 2026 – Tiziana Life Sciences, Ltd. (Nasdaq: TLSA) (“Tiziana” or the “Company”), a biotechnology company developing breakthrough immunomodulation therapies with its lead development candidate, intranasal foralumab, a fully human, anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, today announced that the last patient has completed their last visit in the Company’s Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating intranasal foralumab in patients with non-active Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (na-SPMS).

 

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2a trial, known as INFORM-MS (NCT06292923), enrolled a total of 48 patients across three cohorts at multiple leading U.S. clinical sites. The study is evaluating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of two doses of intranasal foralumab versus placebo over a 12-week treatment period, with the primary endpoint focused on change in microglial activation as measured by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, along with secondary clinical endpoints including the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS). Tiziana expects to lock the database this week, and announce 12-week treatment topline data in October.

 

Following completion of the blinded phase, all participants, including those who initially received placebo, have the opportunity to receive intranasal foralumab in a six-month follow on open-label extension (OLE). The OLE is designed to generate longer term safety and efficacy data. Encouragingly, data from the Company’s Expanded Access Program in na-SPMS have shown that most patients treated with intranasal foralumab either stabilized or improved in clinical outcomes over an extended treatment duration.

 

“I congratulate the entire Tiziana team, our clinical investigators, study sites, and most importantly the patients and their families who made this milestone possible,” said Ivor Elrifi, Chief Executive Officer of Tiziana Life Sciences. “Completing the last patient last visit in our Phase 2a INFORM-MS trial is a significant achievement. The dedication and hard work of everyone involved have brought us to this important point in the development of intranasal foralumab for patients living with na-SPMS, a condition with unmet medical need. We look forward to unblinding and presenting the topline data next month.”

 

About Foralumab

 

Foralumab, a fully human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, is a biological drug candidate that has been shown to stimulate T regulatory cells when dosed intranasally. At present, 14 patients with Non-Active Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (na-SPMS) have been dosed in an open-label intermediate sized Expanded Access (EA) Program (NCT06802328) with either an improvement or stability of disease seen within 6 months in all patients. In addition, intranasal foralumab is currently being studied in a Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, dose-ranging trial in patients with non-active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (NCT06292923), as well as additional Phase 2 trials in AD and MSA.

 

Intranasal foralumab is the only fully human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb) currently in clinical development. Immunomodulation by intranasal foralumab represents a novel avenue for the treatment of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative human diseases.[1],[2]
