Tevogen Bio , a late-stage clinical biotechnology company specializing in the development of cellular immunotherapies in oncology, neurology, and virology announced today its intention to study potential therapeutic use of its investigational COVID-19 T cell therapy, TVGN-489, in Long COVID.

Key Points: 
  • Tevogen Bio , a late-stage clinical biotechnology company specializing in the development of cellular immunotherapies in oncology, neurology, and virology announced today its intention to study potential therapeutic use of its investigational COVID-19 T cell therapy, TVGN-489, in Long COVID.
  • The finding that none of the patients in the TVGN 489 Proof-of-Concept (POC) trial, treated for their initial COVID infection, developed Long COVID to date is leading Tevogen to explore the potential of TVGN 489 to also treat Long COVID.
  • Im greatly encouraged by the POC trial experience of TVGN 489 and hopeful that our investigational COVID-19 therapy will eventually offer hope to a substantial segment of Long COVID patients.
  • Anyone that knows someone who has been impacted by this debilitating disease understands the importance of advancing science to alleviate the suffering from Long COVID, said Tevogen CEO Ryan Saadi , M.D., M.P.H.

TVGN-489 is highly purified cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes (CTLs) designed to detect and kill SARS-CoV-2 infected cells.

Key Points: 
  • TVGN-489 is highly purified cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes (CTLs) designed to detect and kill SARS-CoV-2 infected cells.
  • Patients treated were infected with a range of all COVID variants at the time, from Delta through Omicron BA.5.
  • Additionally, each patient had co-morbidities rendering them high risk and 50 percent of those additionally met the definition of being immunocompromised.
  • Its concerning that, so far, all of Omicrons subvariants have shown increased transmissibility and high immune escape potential, said Dr. Neal Flomenberg, Tevogens Chief Scientific Officer.

Wednesday, October 26, 2022

The research highlights the potential for multi-cytokine inhibitors such as EQ101 and EQ102, as potentially effective strategies for the treatment of certain autoimmune diseases.

Key Points: 
  • The research highlights the potential for multi-cytokine inhibitors such as EQ101 and EQ102, as potentially effective strategies for the treatment of certain autoimmune diseases.
  • EQ101 and EQ102 are both first-in-class multi-cytokine inhibitors that provide selective targeting of biological redundancy and synergy at the receptor level, which has significant advantages over other approaches, including JAK inhibition.
  • The results shown here demonstrate the effects of EQ101 and EQ102 in the modulation of important biology relevant to several autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
  • In addition, an approximate two-fold reduction of the cytotoxic NK cell population was observed with EQ101 and EQ102 treatments.

With respect to cancer, the immune system relies on dendritic cells (DCs), a subset of potent endogenous APCs, to prime cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs).

Key Points: 
  • With respect to cancer, the immune system relies on dendritic cells (DCs), a subset of potent endogenous APCs, to prime cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs).
  • Unfortunately, however, most cancer cells can acquire strategies to escape DC-elicited immunity resulting in the development of deadly tumors.
  • To overcome this issue, Defence Therapeutics applied a novel strategy, which consists at reprogramming the immune-suppressive MSCs to convert them into potent APCs.
  • This application discovered that it uses a unique cell type to which tumor cells are not programmed to respond.
