About Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.
Tonix is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering
and developing small molecules and biologics to treat psychiatric, pain and addiction conditions. Tonix's lead product candidate,
TNX-102 SL*, is in Phase 3 development as a bedtime treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (trade name Tonmya**) and
fibromyalgia. The Phase 3 RECOVERY trial (P302) in PTSD is currently enrolling and results from an interim analysis for a potential
sample size adjustment are expected in the first quarter of 2020 and topline data are expected in the second quarter of 2020 if
the sample size remains the same. TNX-102 SL for PTSD has U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Breakthrough Therapy Designation.
The Company has started enrollment in the Phase 3 RELIEF trial in fibromyalgia. TNX-102 SL is also in development for agitation
in Alzheimer's disease and alcohol use disorder (AUD). The agitation in Alzheimer's disease program is Phase 2 ready
with FDA Fast Track designation and the development for AUD is in the pre-Investigational New Drug (IND) application stage. TNX-601
CR (tianeptine oxalate controlled-release tablets) is in development as a daytime treatment for PTSD, as well as for depression.
The first efficacy study will be performed outside the U.S. and it is expected to be IND-ready in 2020. TNX-1600 (a triple reuptake
inhibitor) is a third product candidate being developed for PTSD, as a daytime treatment. Tonix s programs for treating addiction
conditions also include TNX-1300*** (double-mutant cocaine esterase), which is in Phase 2 development for the treatment of cocaine
intoxication and has FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation. Tonix's preclinical pipeline includes TNX-1500 (anti-CD154), a
monoclonal antibody being developed to prevent and treat organ transplant rejection and autoimmune conditions, and TNX-1700 (rTFF2),
a biologic being developed to treat gastric and pancreatic cancers. Finally, TNX-801 (live virus vaccine for percutaneous [scarification]
administration) to potentially prevent smallpox and TNX-701 (undisclosed small molecule) to prevent radiation effects are being
advanced as medical countermeasures to improve biodefense.
*TNX-102 SL (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) is an investigational
new drug and has not been approved for any indication.
**Tonmya has been conditionally accepted by the FDA as the proposed
trade name for TNX-102 SL for the treatment of PTSD.
***TNX-1300 (T172R/G173Q double-mutant cocaine esterase 200 mg,
i.v. solution) is an investigational new biologic and has not been approved for any indication.
