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
July 10 2024 - 8:05AM
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.
