Topline Results from Phase 2 Proof-of-Concept Study of TNX-1900 in Chronic Migraine Expected Early December 2023: Intranasal Potentiated Oxytocin

Meaningful Progress Made in Obtaining External Support for Clinical Trials from U.S. Government Agencies and Other Institutions

Revenue from Marketed Acute Migraine Products: Zembrace® SymTouch® (sumatriptan injection) and Tosymra® (sumatriptan nasal spray) Included in Third Quarter Financial Statements

CHATHAM, N.J., Nov. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (Tonix or the Company), a biopharmaceutical company with marketed products and a pipeline of development candidates, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, and provided an overview of recent operational highlights.

“Tonix expects topline results from its Phase 3 fibromyalgia study and Phase 2 chronic migraine study before year end,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix. “The Phase 3 RESILIENT trial in fibromyalgia, if successful, is expected to be the final efficacy trial required for submitting a New Drug Application (NDA) for approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for TNX-102 SL (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets). In the Phase 2 proof-of-concept PREVENTION study in chronic migraine of TNX-1900 (intranasal potentiated oxytocin), all patients have completed their final visit and topline results are expected in early December 2023.”

Dr. Lederman continued, “We are continuing to shift the expense of clinical trials from our operating budget to U.S. government agencies and other institutions through partnerships. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is supporting the upcoming Phase 2 study of TNX-102 SL in acute stress disorder, being conducted and sponsored by University of North Carolina (UNC). The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), through its Project NextGen, will conduct the Phase 1 study of our vaccine candidate TNX-1800 (modified recombinant horsepox virus, live vaccine). The National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) is supporting our Phase 2 study of TNX-1300 (recombinant double mutant cocaine esterase) for cocaine intoxication. Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is conducting Phase 2 studies of TNX-1900 in binge eating disorder and pediatric obesity, and the University of Washington is conducting a Phase 2 study of TNX-1900 in social anxiety disorder. Finally, we continue to collaborate with MGH on several preclinical non-human primate studies for TNX-1500 (anti-CD40L Fc-modified humanized monoclonal antibody), currently in a Phase 1 study being conducted by Tonix. These outside collaborations leverage our internal resources and allow us to progress our clinical programs in a capital efficient manner.”

Key Product Candidates* — Recent Highlights

Central Nervous System (CNS) Pipeline

TNX-102 SL (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets): once-daily at bedtime small molecule for the management of fibromyalgia (FM) – a centrally-acting, non-opioid analgesic.

  • The Company announced in August 2023 that it completed enrollment of its potentially confirmatory Phase 3 RESILIENT trial of TNX-102 SL 5.6 mg in FM. 457 participants were randomized in the trial, which, if successful, is expected to serve as the final, well-controlled efficacy trial required for submission of NDA for approval by the FDA. RESILIENT is a registration-quality, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Topline results from the RESILIENT trial are expected in late December of 2023.

TNX-102 SL for the treatment of acute stress reaction (ARS) and acute stress disorder (ASD), and prophylaxis against development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

  • In September 2023, the Company announced that the UNC Institute for Trauma Recovery has been awarded a $3 million grant from the DoD to investigate the potential of Tonix’s TNX-102 SL to reduce the frequency and severity of adverse effects of acute trauma, which include ASR and ASD, and development of PTSD. The proposed Phase 2, Optimizing Acute Stress Reaction Interventions with TNX-102 SL (OASIS) study will examine the safety and efficacy of TNX-102 SL to reduce adverse posttraumatic neuropsychiatric sequelae among patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) after a motor vehicle collision (MVC). The study will enroll approximately 180 MVC trauma survivors at ED study sites in the U.S. Participants will be randomized in the ED to receive a two-week course of either TNX-102 SL or placebo.
  • Initiation of patient enrollment in the proposed investigator-sponsored OASIS study is anticipated in the beginning of 2024, subject to clearance by the FDA of an investigator-initiated Investigational New Drug (IND) application.

TNX-102 SL for the treatment of Fibromyalgia-Type Long COVID, also known as Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC)

  • In September 2023, the Company announced topline results from its Phase 2 PREVAIL proof-of-concept study of TNX-102 SL for fibromyalgia-type Long COVID. TNX-102 SL showed a robust Cohen’s d effect size of 0.5 in improving fatigue relative to placebo; and it showed consistent activity across secondary measures of sleep quality, cognitive function, disability and Patient Global Impression of Change, but did not meet the primary endpoint of multi-site pain reduction at week 14. TNX-102 SL was generally well tolerated and no new safety signals were observed.
  • The Company intends to request an End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA to discuss a potential Phase 3 program based on a proposed primary outcome measure using the PROMIS Fatigue scale. The meeting is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2024.

TNX-1900 (intranasal potentiated oxytocin): small peptide for migraine, craniofacial pain, social anxiety disorder (SAD), insulin resistance and related disorders, and adolescent obesity and binge eating disorder

  • In October 2023, the Company announced it completed the clinical phase of the PREVENTION study, a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study of TNX-1900 for the prevention of migraine headaches in chronic migraineurs, as the last of 88 enrolled patients completed their final study visit. PREVENTION is a registration-quality, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
  • Topline results from the PREVENTION Phase 2 trial are expected in early December 2023.
  • In September 2023, the Company announced that David C. Yeomans, Ph.D. presented data relevant to the proposed mechanism of TNX-1900 in treating chronic migraine in a poster and an oral presentation at the 2023 International Headache Congress (IHC) in Seoul, South Korea. The poster and oral presentation titled, “Human trigeminal ganglia possess oxytocin receptors on CGRP positive neurons: expression increased by inflammation,” include research sponsored by and licensed to Tonix. The presentations show that oxytocin receptors are co-expressed with calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on human trigeminal ganglia neurons, which is similar to Professor Yeomans’ previous findings in animal trigeminal ganglia. The inflammatory cytokine IL-6 upregulated expression of oxytocin receptors on human trigeminal neurons, consistent with the previously observed impact of inflammation on the potency of oxytocin on its receptor. In animals, oxytocin has been shown to functionally inhibit the excitability of trigeminal neurons, which is consistent with oxytocin inhibiting the release of CGRP at trigeminal nerve terminals.1
  • Tonix announced in July 2023 that the first participant was enrolled in the investigator-initiated Phase 2 STROBE Study of TNX-1900 for the treatment of binge-eating disorder at MGH. Tonix is supporting the STROBE study through a clinical trial agreement with MGH.
  • Tonix announced in July 2023 that the first participant was enrolled in a Phase 2 investigator-initiated, proof-of-concept study of TNX-1900 for enhancing social safety learning in SADSAD. Tonix entered into an agreement with the University of Washington to examine the potential role of TNX-1900 in enhancing vicarious extinction learning in SAD, compared to healthy controls.
  • Tonix announced in July 2023 that the first participant was enrolled in the Phase 2 POWER study of TNX-1900 for the treatment of pediatric obesity with MGH. MGH is the sponsor of the NIH-funded trial, being conducted under an investigator-initiated IND.

TNX-1300 (recombinant double mutant cocaine esterase): biologic for life-threatening cocaine intoxication

  • Tonix expects to initiate a Phase 2 clinical study of TNX-1300 for the treatment of cocaine intoxication in the fourth quarter of 2023. In 2022, Tonix was awarded a Cooperative Agreement grant from NIDA, part of the NIH, to support development of TNX-1300.
  • TNX-1300 has been granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA.

Rare Disease Pipeline

TNX-2900 (intranasal potentiated oxytocin): small peptide for the treatment of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS)

  • In October 2023, Herbert Harris, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Translational Medicine of Tonix Pharmaceuticals, provided an overview of Tonix’s TNX-2900 program at the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research (FPWR) Family Conference in Denver, CO. The presentation highlights preclinical data showing the enhancing effects of magnesium (Mg2+) on the activation of oxytocin receptors. The Mg2+ enhanced formulation of intranasal oxytocin is the basis for TNX-2900, in development to treat hyperphagia, or pathological over-eating, in children and adolescents with PWS. In preclinical studies, Mg2+ increases the potency of oxytocin, which is a peptide hormone that reduces appetite and signals fullness, potentially improving receptor binding and resulting in improved therapeutic action.

Immunology Pipeline

TNX-1500 (anti-CD40L Fc-modified humanized monoclonal antibody): third generation anti-CD40L monoclonal antibody for prophylaxis of organ transplant rejection and treatment of autoimmune disorders.

  • In October 2023, the Company announced data from two oral presentations which were delivered recently at the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Clinical Congress 2023, and The International Pancreas and Islet Transplant Association (IPITA), the International Xenotransplantation Association (IXA), and the Cell Transplant and Regenerative Medicine Society (CTRMS) Joint Congress by faculty at the Center for Transplantation Sciences, MGH. The oral presentations titled, “Pilot Evaluation of a Clinical Xeno Heart Transplant Regimen in a Preclinical Model” and “Extended Survival of 9- and 10-Gene Edited Pig Heart Xenografts with Ischemia Minimization and CD154 Costimulation Blockade-Based Immunosuppression” by Dr. Ikechukwu Ileka et al. include data demonstrating the use of TNX-1500 as maintenance therapy after xeno heart transplant in non-human primates. In both studies, genetically engineered (GE) pigs in baboon transplants were treated with cold-perfused ischemia minimization and a novel costimulation-based immunosuppressive regimen that includes TNX-1500.
  • In October 2023, Tonix announced that a study published in the Journal Nature2 by faculty at the Center for Transplantation Sciences, MGH in collaboration with biotechnology company, eGenesis, utilized TNX-1500 as part of the immune modulating regimen to prevent organ transplant rejection. The Nature article titled, “Design and testing of a humanized porcine donor for xenotransplantation” includes data that provide additional support for TNX-1500’s activity in preventing pig xenograft organ rejection and for its safety and tolerability in non-human primates.
  • In August 2023, Tonix announced the initiation of a Phase 1 single ascending dose study of TNX-1500 in healthy volunteers. The primary objectives of the study are to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenous TNX-1500. This first-in-human study is intended to support dosing in a planned Phase 2 trial in kidney transplant recipients.
  • The first indication for TNX-1500 will be prophylaxis of organ rejection in adult patients receiving a kidney transplant, but multiple additional indications are possible, including autoimmune diseases. Two peer reviewed publications described the work at the MGH on allogeneic transplants in animals were published.3,4

Infectious Disease Pipeline

TNX-1800 (modified recombinant horsepox virus, live vaccine): potential vaccine to protect against COVID-19 designed to express the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

  • In November 2023, Tonix announced that NIAID, a part of the NIH, will conduct a Phase 1 clinical trial with TNX-1800 as part of Project NextGen. The Phase 1 trial of TNX-1800 is expected to start in the second half of 2024. NIAID will cover the full cost of the clinical trial, including operations and related analyses. Tonix will be responsible for providing clinical trial materials, and upon completion will have the right to rely on the findings in regulatory filings with the FDA to support the approval of its COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines based on the RPV platform.

TNX-801 (recombinant horsepox virus, live vaccine): potential vaccine to protect against mpox disease and smallpox.

  • In August 2023, Tonix received the official written response from a Type B pre-IND meeting with the FDA to develop TNX-801 as a potential vaccine to protect against mpox disease (formerly known as monkeypox) and smallpox. Tonix believes the FDA feedback provides a path to agreement on the design of a Phase 1/2 study and the overall clinical development plan. The Phase 1/2 clinical trial will assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of TNX-801, following the submission and clearance of an IND.

*All of Tonix’s product candidates are investigational new drugs or biologics and none have been approved for any indication.
