Key Points from Mehta’s Commentary

Realizing the Full Potential of T Cell Therapies. Mehta emphasized that the full potential of T cell-based therapies remains untapped due to various limitations, including the imbalance between the cost of manufacturing and reimbursement rates.

Development of a New Class of T Cell Therapies. Mehta highlighted that Tevogen is leading the development of a potential new class of T cell therapies for treatment of acute viral infections, long-term consequences of viral infections such as Long COVID, viral- and non-viral-induced cancers, and certain neurological disorders, including multiple sclerosis.

Overcoming Common Challenges Faced by the Industry with the CAR-T Approach. Mehta discussed that product candidates from company’s proprietary ExacTcell™ platform are designed to:

• Mainstream cell therapy through off-the-shelf outpatient administration focusing on diseases that impact large patient populations.
• Eliminate side effects associated with traditional CAR-based T cell therapies.
• Significantly reduce manufacturing costs. Mehta pointed out that Tevogen has achieved the production of hundreds of doses from a single donor for its recently completed clinical trial.
  

Industry’s First Attempt to Develop T Cell-Based Therapies for Large Patient Populations. Mehta discussed how Tevogen designed its entire business approach, from future pricing strategies to large-scale cell therapy manufacturing plans.
