Third MSA Patient Shows Consistent Inflammation Reduction
Quantitative PET imaging revealed up to a 34% reduction in SUV and a 26% reduction in SUVR in the basal ganglia and cerebellar white matter, closely matching the ~35% SUV and 24% SUVR reductions seen in the first two patients.
-
Reproducible Signal Across Patients
The consistency of PET findings across three patients reinforces evidence of biological activity for intranasal foralumab in dampening neuroinflammation in MSA, a disease with no approved disease-modifying treatments.
-
Next Steps: Further Validation Planned
Tiziana plans to continue evaluating intranasal foralumab in additional patients to further validate these findings and better characterize the therapy's potential in MSA.
Analysis · TLSA · Life Sciences
The third MSA patient demonstrated up to a 34% reduction in neuroinflammation on PET imaging, closely mirroring the ~35% and 24% reductions observed in the first two patients. Reproducibility across patients strengthens the case that intranasal foralumab has real biological activity in a disease with no approved treatments. While this is early-stage data, consistency is what moves a clinical program from 'interesting signal' to 'potentially real drug.'
