Tevogen Bio’s R&D Leadership Discusses The Promise of Its Genetically Unmodified, Off-The-Shelf T Cell Technology For The Treatment of Infectious Diseases, Cancers, and Neurological Disorders With Nasdaq's Kristina Ayanian

  • Dr. Flomenberg and Dr. Grosso are leading experts in T cell biology and its clinical applications
  • Tevogen’s ExacTcell™ platform is designed to address current cost, and patient accessibility challenges
  • ExacTcell’s first product consists of single HLA restricted, off-the-shelf, genetically unmodified T cells
  • Broad application potential spanning cancer, infectious diseases, and neurological disorders
  • ExacTcell platform produced hundreds of doses from a single donor, facilitating cost reduction

WARREN, N.J., July 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dr. Neal Flomenberg and Dr. Lori Grosso of Tevogen Bio Holding Inc. (“Tevogen” or “Tevogen Bio”) (Nasdaq: TVGN), a clinical-stage specialty immunotherapy biotech pioneer developing off-the-shelf, genetically unmodified T cell therapeutics in oncology, neurology, and virology, discussed the promise of T cell therapy and Tevogen’s mission to make it mainstream on Nasdaq’s broadcast, Live From MarketSite with Kristina Ayanian.

Dr. Lori Grosso, Clinical Development Lead, spoke to advances made with genetically modified T cell therapies but noted that patient affordability, tolerability, and accessibility barriers have prevented broader adoption. She noted that unlike genetically modified autologous T cells which produce one treatment dose per patient, Tevogen’s ExacTcell platform produced hundreds of doses from a single donor for its successful phase I clinical trial. In terms of safety, this trial, the results of which were recently published in the journal Blood Advances, showed no dose-limiting toxicities or significant adverse events related to Tevogen’s investigational therapy.

Dr. Neal Flomenberg, Chief Scientific Officer, discussed the company’s goal of making cytotoxic T cell immunotherapy a routine, outpatient treatment, which he felt was achievable if the therapy was safe, affordable, readily and rapidly accessible, and comfortable for patients. He noted that cytotoxic T cell therapy harnessed one of nature’s most powerful tools to treat disease and that continued development of this type of therapy, as well as efforts to make it highly accessible to all patients, would be beneficial to large portions of the population.

About Tevogen Bio’s Next Generation Precision T Cell Platform

Tevogen’s next generation precision T cell platform is designed to provide increased immunologic specificity to eliminate malignant and virally infected cells, while allowing healthy cells to remain intact. Multiple, precise candidate targets on viral or malignant cells are selected in advance for T cell sensitization and effector functions with the goal of overcoming the mutational escape capacity of cancer cells and viruses while limiting cross-reactivity.

Tevogen is investigating its technology’s potential to overcome the primary barriers to the broad application of personalized T cell therapies: potency, purity, production-at-scale, and patient-pairing, without the limitations of current approaches. Tevogen’s goal is to provide access to the vast and unprecedented potential of developing personalized immunotherapies for large patient populations impacted by common cancers and viral infections. The ability to administer this therapy in an outpatient setting and the ongoing work by Tevogen scientists to address diverse patient populations, highlights Tevogen Bio’s commitment to patient accessibility.
