Insights
Tiziana starts a Phase 2 early Alzheimer’s trial of intranasal foralumab.
Tiziana Life Sciences has initiated enrollment in a Phase 2 randomized, placebo-controlled trial in early Alzheimer’s disease using intranasal foralumab. The design includes testing the drug both as monotherapy and in combination with approved anti-amyloid therapies lecanemab or donanemab, positioning the study to explore potential added benefit on top of existing standards of care.
Baseline clinical assessments, cognitive testing, TSPO-PET imaging, and fluid biomarkers are already completed for the first participants. Having these measurements at the start allows more precise evaluation of how patients change over time on treatment versus placebo.
Key upcoming steps mentioned are dosing the first patient next week and then continuing enrollment. As the trial progresses, outcomes across cognition, imaging, and biomarker readouts will be central to understanding intranasal foralumab’s potential role in early Alzheimer’s disease.
