Tiziana Life Sciences CEO Ivor Elrifi joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a key clinical milestone, confirming that the first patient has been successfully dosed with intranasal foralumab in the company’s Phase 2 randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial in patients with early Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This achievement follows the company’s December 12, 2025 announcement that patient enrollment had begun, with first dosing expected imminently. The rapid progression from enrollment to dosing highlights strong site readiness and momentum for the study. The Phase 2 trial is designed to evaluate intranasal foralumab both as a standalone therapy and in combination with FDA-approved anti-amyloid treatments, including lecanemab (Leqembi®) and donanemab. By exploring combination therapy alongside monotherapy, Tiziana aims to assess whether targeting neuroinflammation can provide additive or complementary benefits to existing amyloid-reducing approaches. Elrifi explained that the trial is supported by compelling TSPO-PET imaging data, which demonstrate persistent and widespread microglial activation—a key marker of neuroinflammation—in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Notably, this neuroinflammatory activity has been shown to persist even after amyloid plaque reduction with therapies such as lecanemab. According to Elrifi, this evidence highlights a critical unmet need in Alzheimer’s treatment: addressing residual neuroinflammation that may continue to drive disease progression. Intranasal foralumab is designed to modulate immune responses within the central nervous system and calm overactivated microglia, potentially reducing chronic inflammation associated with neurodegeneration. The intranasal delivery method is intended to provide targeted central nervous system exposure while minimizing systemic side effects. The Phase 2 study is a randomized, placebo-controlled trial assessing the safety, tolerability, and potential efficacy of intranasal foralumab in patients with early or mild Alzheimer’s disease. Primary endpoints include changes in neuroinflammation as measured by TSPO-PET imaging, cognitive function outcomes, and biomarker changes related to amyloid and tau pathology. With the first patient now dosed, Tiziana Life Sciences advances into the next phase of clinical evaluation, positioning the company to generate meaningful data on whether addressing neuroinflammation—alone or in combination with anti-amyloid therapies—can improve outcomes for patients with early Alzheimer’s disease. #proactiveinvestors #tizianalifescienceslts #nasdaq #tlsa #newceo #ivorelrifi #Foralumab #AlzheimersResearch #Neuroinflammation #BiotechNews #PETscan #ClinicalTrials #AlzheimersTreatment #PharmaUpdates #HealthcareInnovation
