The laboratory space will also accommodate the company’s ongoing recruitment of highly specialized R&D personnel.

“As a company, we are dedicated to sustained medical innovation and a key component of that is expanding our research and development and key operational processes. These new laboratories will allow us to reach that goal,” said Stephen Chen, Tevogen’s Chief Technical Officer. “We are excited to work with CIC Philadelphia which offers state of the art laboratory space where our scientists and innovators will be able to execute on multiple preclinical research projects simultaneously.”

“Tevogen’s rapid growth from concept to a fully operational biotech in less than 23 months is the culmination of ambitious goals and flawless execution of well-orchestrated strategies by its highly motivated and skilled team of experts,” said Ryan Saadi, Tevogen’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The addition of the new facilities at the CIC along with Tevogen’s forthcoming Philadelphia R&D center will provide us the resources to further catalyze our product pipeline expansion activities,” Saadi added.

About Tevogen’s Next Generation Precision T Cell Platform

Tevogen’s next generation precision T cell platform is designed to provide increased specificity to eliminate malignant and viral infected cells, while allowing healthy cells to remain intact. Multiple targets are selected in advance with the goal of overcoming mutational capacity of cancer cells and viruses.

Tevogen believes its technology has the 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 open the vast and unprecedented potential of developing personalized immunotherapies for large patient populations impacted by common cancers and viral infections.

The company’s lead product, TVGN-489, is currently in clinical trials for high-risk COVID-19 patients at Jefferson University Hospitals in Philadelphia. TVGN-489 is a highly purified, SARS-CoV-2-specific cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocyte (CTL) product, which is designed to detect targets spread across the entire viral genome.

Tevogen recently announced it has completed dosing of the second cohort of patients in the proof of concept clinical trial of TVGN-489, marking the midway point of the trial’s planned four dosing levels. Trial details and recruitment information are available at Clinical Trials - Tevogen.

Tevogen’s leadership believes that accessible personalized immunotherapies are the next frontier of medicine, and that disruptive business models are required to sustain medical innovation in the post-pandemic world.
