Tevogen Updates on Development of EBV-Specific T Cell Therapy with Support from AI-Powered Target Discovery
WARREN, N.J., June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tevogen ("Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc." or "Company") (NASDAQ:TVGN) today provided an update on its ongoing development of a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) therapy targeting Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated lymphomas.
Computer-based selection of EBV peptides is currently underway as part of Tevogen's preparation for a potential clinical trial using EBV-specific CTLs manufactured using the Company's proprietary ExacTcell™ technology. ExacTcell enables precision-engineered T cells with a high degree of specificity and scalability. In parallel, Tevogen's R&D laboratory has initiated confirmation studies to validate CTL responses to the selected viral peptides.
Tevogen Bio's scientific and clinical teams are working closely with Tevogen.AI, the Company's artificial intelligence initiative, to co-develop an advanced peptide selection strategy. This collaboration aims to accelerate the identification of immunologically active targets across the EBV genome and further strengthen Tevogen's therapeutic precision.
"The mechanisms behind EBV-induced tumorigenesis, which includes the disruption of cellular pathways and the promotion of malignant growth by EBV proteins, have become increasingly clear in recent years," said Neal Flomenberg, MD, Chief Scientific Officer of Tevogen Bio. "Targeting these proteins with highly specific CTLs presents an exciting research frontier and the potential for meaningful therapeutic breakthroughs in EBV-driven cancers."
Tevogen Bio will continue to share updates as the EBV research progresses through its preclinical evaluation phase.
