Tevogen Bio has reported positive safety data following the conclusion of subject enrolment in the proof-of-concept clinical trial of its T cell therapy, TVGN-489, in elderly or ambulatory Covid-19 patients at increased risk.
The open-label trial is designed to analyse the safety and optimal dose of the therapy in ambulatory Covid-19 patients who were at greater risk for complications associated with the infection.

It was carried out at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, US.
Patients are deemed at increased risk due to comorbid conditions such as lung, heart, liver and kidney ailments, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, obesity or aged 65 years or above with or without comorbid conditions.
Trial subjects were given one of four escalating doses of the therapy with enrolment concluded for all levels in nine months.
At any dose levels tested in the trial, no dose-limiting toxicities or substantial treatment-associated adverse events, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS), were reported in any trial subject.
