Shares of Tiziana Life Sciences PLC (LON: TILS) fell 4.67% after releasing its half-year results showing immense progress in developing its leading drug candidate Forulamab.
The biotech company noted that it had successfully demonstrated that the drug could be administered nasally to directly target the local and lymphatic immune systems.
According to the data collected from clinical and pre-clinical studies, the nasal administration of Forulamab can induce site targeted immunomodulation and anti-inflammatory effects.
Tiziana further revealed that Foralumab trials had generated pharmacodynamic data points within a clinical dose range that the firm intends to test among multiple sclerosis patients.
The firm is also in phase II proof-of-concept testing of Forulamab’s effectiveness in treating COVID-19 patients within a hospital environment.
