) (“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 it has submitted a request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Orphan Drug Designation for intranasal foralumab for the treatment of Multiple System Atrophy (MSA)..

(“Tiziana”或“公司”),一家致力于开发突破性免疫调节疗法的生物技术公司,其领先研发候选药物为鼻用foralumab(一种全人源抗CD3单克隆抗体),今日宣布已向美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)提交申请,请求将鼻用foralumab用于治疗多系统萎缩症(MSA)认定为孤儿药。

MSA is a rare, rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects autonomic functions (such as blood pressure and bladder control) and motor control, leading to severe disability and shortened life expectancy. There are currently no FDA-approved disease-modifying therapies for MSA. The disease has a mean incidence in the U.S.

多系统萎缩(MSA)是一种罕见且快速进展的神经退行性疾病,影响自主功能(如血压和膀胱控制)及运动控制,导致严重残疾并缩短预期寿命。目前尚无美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)批准的针对MSA的疾病修饰疗法。该病在美国的平均发病率

of approximately 0.6 per 100,000 person-years, rising to about 3 per 100,000 in those aged 50 and older, with prevalence estimates of roughly 1.9–4.9 per 100,000 worldwide. Median survival is typically 6–9 years. Neuroinflammation and microglial activation are increasingly recognized as key contributors to MSA pathogenesis..

发病率约为每10万人年0.6例,在50岁及以上人群中上升至约每10万人3例,全球患病率估计约为每10万人1.9–4.9例。中位生存期通常为6–9年。神经炎症和小胶质细胞激活日益被认为是多系统萎缩(MSA)发病机制的关键因素。

Orphan Drug Designation is granted by the FDA to drugs or biologics intended to treat rare diseases or conditions affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. The FDA’s Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD) aims to complete its review of an orphan drug designation (ODD) request within 90 days of receipt.

孤儿药资格认定由美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)授予,适用于旨在治疗影响美国少于20万人的罕见疾病或状况的药物或生物制品。FDA孤儿产品开发办公室(OOPD)旨在在收到孤儿药资格认定(ODD)申请后的90天内完成审查。

If granted, the designation would provide potential benefits including seven years of market exclusivity upon approval, tax credits for qualified clinical testing, waiver of certain FDA application fees, and eligibility for protocol assistance..

如果获得批准,该认定将带来潜在益处,包括在获批后享有七年的市场独占期、合格临床试验的税收抵免、免除某些FDA申请费用,以及有资格获得方案协助。

Tiziana is currently evaluating intranasal foralumab in a Phase 2a open-label clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:

Tiziana 目前正在一项 IIa 期开放标签临床试验中评估鼻用 foralumab(ClinicalTrials.gov 标识符:

NCT06868628

) in patients with MSA. The six-month study is designed to assess effects on microglial activation (via PET imaging), clinical outcomes, and safety. Foralumab is administered via nasal spray across eight 3-week dosing cycles. The Phase 2a trial is being conducted within the MyTrial Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston under the leadership of Principal Investigator Vikram Khurana, MD, PhD, Tracy T.

)在多系统萎缩(MSA)患者中。这项为期六个月的研究旨在评估对微胶质细胞活化(通过PET成像)、临床结局和安全性的影响。Foralumab通过鼻喷雾剂在八个为期3周的给药周期中给药。Phase 2a试验正在波士顿布里格姆妇女医院的MyTrial项目中进行,由首席研究员Vikram Khurana医学博士、哲学博士Tracy T.领导。

Dr Khurana commented: “Multiple system atrophy remains one of the most challenging neurodegenerative diseases we face, with rapid progression and no approved therapies that alter its course. The growing recognition of neuroinflammation and microglial activation as central drivers of MSA pathology makes intranasal foralumab a particularly compelling candidate.

库拉纳博士评论道:“多系统萎缩仍然是我们面临的最具挑战性的神经退行性疾病之一,其进展迅速,且尚无获批的疾病修正疗法。随着神经炎症和小胶质细胞激活被广泛认为是多系统萎缩病理机制的核心驱动因素,鼻用foralumab成为一种尤为引人注目的候选药物。”

By harnessing the immune system’s regulatory pathways in a targeted, non-systemic way, this approach has the potential to address a critical unmet need. The ongoing clinical study, which includes PET imaging of microglial activity, will provide important early insights into whether this strategy can meaningfully impact the disease process.”.

通过以靶向且非全身性的方式利用免疫系统的调节通路,该方法有望满足一项关键且尚未被满足的临床需求。目前正在进行的临床研究包括对小胶质细胞活性进行正电子发射断层扫描(PET)成像,将为该策略能否对疾病进程产生有意义的影响提供重要的早期见解。

Ivor Elrifi, Chief Executive Officer of Tiziana Life Sciences, commented: “Filing for Orphan Drug Designation for intranasal foralumab in MSA represents an important regulatory step as we advance this novel therapy for patients facing a devastating disease with no approved disease-modifying options.

Tiziana Life Sciences 首席执行官 Ivor Elrifi 评论道:“就鼻用 foralumab 用于多系统萎缩(MSA)提交孤儿药资格认定申请,是我们推进这一新型疗法过程中的重要监管步骤;该疾病极具破坏性,且目前尚无获批的疾病修饰治疗选项。”

Foralumab administered intranasally induces regulatory T cells and modulates T-cell-driven inflammation. Its ability to reduce microglial activation offers a promising strategy to slow neuronal damage in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative conditions including MSA. This non-systemic approach is designed to promote immune tolerance while minimizing systemic immune suppression.”.

鼻内给药的Foralumab可诱导调节性T细胞,并调节T细胞驱动的炎症。其减少小胶质细胞活化的能力,为延缓包括多系统萎缩(MSA)在内的神经炎症和神经退行性疾病中的神经元损伤提供了一种有前景的策略。这种非全身性给药方式旨在促进免疫耐受,同时最大限度地减少全身性免疫抑制。

About Foralumab

关于 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.
