This is an open-label, intermediate-size patient population expanded access treatment study utilizing 1 dose level of nasal Foralumab (50 µg/dosing day) with the possibility of increasing to 100 µg/dosing day. The goal of this expanded access clinical trial is to evaluate safety, tolerability, and immune effects of intranasal Foralumab in non-active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis patients. The primary objective is to treat patients who have failed current available therapy. Participants will visit the clinic for testing and follow-up every cycle (3 weeks) while administering the medication at home if able three times weekly.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common autoimmune disorder affecting young adults, driven by an aberrant T cell response against central nervous system (CNS) antigens. Epidemiologic studies show that approximately 50% of patients are classified as having relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), while about 35% have SPMS and the remaining 15% have primary progressive MS (PPMS).
Foralumab is a human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody being developed for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. It is hypothesized that nasal Foralumab will slow disability accumulation and microglial activation measured by PET imaging in non-active SPMS.
Patients will be dosed in 3-week cycles, with Foralumab dosing on Days 1, 3 and 5 of the first and second weeks, followed by a "rest week". This study will assess the safety of nasal Foralumab given over 6 months to non-active secondary progressive MS patients who have failed currently available treatments including the standard of care therapy, Ocrevus (ocrelizumab).

| Foralumab TZLS-401 50 µg | Drug | Foralumab 50 µg/dosing day for patients who have failed current therapies. Patients will be dosed in 3-week cycles, with foralumab dosing on Days 1, 3 and 5 of the first and second weeks, followed by a "rest week".

Inclusion Criteria:
Confirmed diagnosis of MS (according to the 2010 McDonald criteria).
Age 25-75 years old.
Clinical diagnosis of non-active SPMS, as defined by the absence of relapses for 2 years.
MRI imaging consistent with a diagnosis of MS at any time point.
Score on the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) of 2.5-7.5.
Have failed standard of care treatment and continued to decline clinically for at least 6 months.
Adequate hematologic parameters without ongoing transfusion support:
Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN), or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/minute x 1.73 m2 per the Cockcroft-Gault formula.
Total bilirubin ≤ 2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) unless due to Gilbert's disease.
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 times ULN.
QT interval corrected for rate (QTcF) ≤ 470 msec for women and ≤ 450 msec for men on the ECG obtained at Screening
Negative urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first dose of study therapy for women of child-bearing potential (WCBP), defined as a sexually mature woman who has not undergone a hysterectomy or who has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., who has had menses any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months). Sexually active WCBP and male patients must agree to use highly effective methods to avoid pregnancy (oral, injectable, or implantable hormonal contraceptive; tubal ligation; intra-uterine device; barrier contraceptive with spermicide; or vasectomized partner) throughout the study and for 90 days after the completion of study treatment.
Patients whose immunizations are fully up to date at the Screening, according to the assessment of their primary care physician and neurologist.
Ability to provide written informed consent.
