Tevogen is partnering with renowned bone marrow transplant expert, Dr. Neal Flomenberg, chair of the Department of Medical Oncology at Thomas Jefferson University, with the intent to evaluate Tevogen's T cell technology to treat hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
This collaboration aims to harness Tevogen's proprietary immunotherapy platform and Dr. Flomenberg's expertise in research and the transplantation of T cells so that both Tevogen and Dr. Flomenberg can conduct clinical trials of T cell treatments for COVID-19.
Under normal circumstances, the body generates specific T cells to rid itself of viruses such as COVID-19.
In the proposed trials, such T cells will be generated in the laboratory and administered to patients at the sicker end of the COVID-19 spectrum.
In addition to developing its potential therapies, Tevogen is committed to organizational and manufacturing efficiency. This should allow it to engage in affordable innovation to the benefit of all patients.
Tevogen Bio was formed after decades of research by its contributors to concentrate and leverage their expertise, spanning multiple sectors of the healthcare industry, to help address some of the most common and deadly illnesses known.
The company's mission is to provide curative and preventative treatments that are affordable and scalable, in order to positively impact global public health.
Dr. Neal Flomenberg is the chairman of the Department of Medical Oncology and Deputy director of the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson University in Philadelphia.
Dr. Flomenberg launched Jefferson's Blood and Marrow Transplantation Program in 1995.
Throughout his four decades of practice, he has maintained a longstanding interest in the immunogenetics and immunology of stem cell transplantation, with the goal of making transplantation safer and more widely available.
He is board certified in the fields of internal medicine, hematology, and medical oncology.
