Tiziana expects to lock the database this week, and announce 12-week treatment topline data in October. - Following completion of the blinded phase, all participants, including those who initially received placebo, have the opportunity to receive intranasal foralumab in a six-month follow on open-label extension (OLE).

- GRAIL (GRAL) is surging more than 30% after FDA briefing documents indicated that agency reviewers found no major analytical-performance, clinical-study-design, or safety concerns with its Galleri multi-cancer early-detection test ahead of a September 23 advisory-panel meeting. - Galleri uses a blood sample to identify cancer-related DNA methylation patterns across more than 50 cancer types and predict the cancer's likely origin, supplementing rather than replacing established screening methods. - The bullish reaction reflects the possibility that Galleri could become the first FDA-approved multi-cancer early-detection test, potentially accelerating physician adoption, supporting broader insurance coverage, and expanding distribution beyond its current laboratory-developed-test model. - Important uncertainty remains because the FDA is asking whether the evidence supports labeling Galleri as an "early detection" test, and the advisory panel's recommendation will not guarantee approval or a favorable commercial label. - A positive regulatory outcome could materially improve GRALs growth trajectory, building on Q2 Galleri revenue growth of 24% and test-volume growth of 35%, although today's rally prices in considerable regulatory success before the FDA reaches a final decision.
