Tevogen Bio Takes Lead in Developing Cell Therapies Designed to Eradicate Post Procedure Human Papilloma Virus in Women with Precancerous Cervical Lesions
October 15 2024 - 2:30PM
Tevogen Bio (“Tevogen” or “Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc.”) (Nasdaq:
TVGN), a clinical-stage specialty immunotherapy biotech developing
off-the-shelf, genetically unmodified T cell therapeutics to treat
infectious disease and cancers, elaborates on developing TVGN 920,
a T cell therapy for the treatment of HPV in women with
precancerous cervical lesions.
The investigational product, TVGN 920, will be manufactured
utilizing Tevogen’s proprietary ExacTcell™ technology, in which
genetically unmodified, allogeneic cytotoxic CD8+ CTLs with precise
targets across the HPV genome, will be tested in safety and
feasibility studies. Tevogen aims to evaluate the potential of TVGN
920 in treating HPV, a known trigger of cervical cancer, which
often persists in women following treatment for high-grade cervical
lesions. The goal is to prevent recurrent lesions that could
eventually lead to cervical cancer and eradicate HPV infection to
prevent transmission of the virus.
“Ability to eradicate HPV in women should offer the dual benefit
of preventing recurrent cervical pathology and potentially cervical
cancer, as well as interrupting the cycle of HPV transmission, a
critical public health concern,” said Dr. Dolores Grosso, DNP, the
Clinical Development Lead at Tevogen.
“Several cancers are triggered by viral infections. We hope that
success in our efforts will open the door to new treatments for
other virus-associated cancers,” commented Dr. Neal Flomenberg, MD,
Tevogen’s Chief Scientific Officer.
“Tevogen’s goal is to provide access to the vast and
unprecedented potential of personalized immunotherapies for large
patient populations impacted by common cancers and viral
infections. This is reflected by Tevogen’s research pipeline which
includes treatment for HPV and other serious viral infections and
cancers using our precision T cell platform,” said Tevogen founder
and CEO Dr. Ryan Saadi, MD, MPH, 2023 Nobel Peace Prize
nominee.
