Tiziana (TLSA) lines up MS trial for patients failing current drugs with a nasal antibody twist.

Tiziana Life Sciences (TLSA) signed an MOU with KAIMRC and the Foundation for Neurologic Diseases to collaborate on a clinical trial. The trial will evaluate intranasal foralumab combined with anti-CD20 therapy in RRMS patients who respond poorly to anti-CD20 alone. Foralumab has shown promise in reducing neuroinflammation in prior studies.
