WARREN, N.J., May 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc. ("Tevogen" or "Tevogen Bio") (NASDAQ:TVGN), a clinical-stage specialty immunotherapy biotech pioneer developing off-the-shelf, genetically unmodified T cell therapeutics in oncology, neurology, and virology, has announced financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024, and filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
