+Added: In July 2021, we had disappointing results from a second
+Added: Phase 3 study, RALLY.
+Added: In December 2023, we reported positive results from the third Phase 3 RESILIENT study, which met its pre-specified
+Added: endpoint by significantly reducing daily pain compared to placebo in patients with fibromyalgia.
+Added: In preparation for the launch
+Added: of Tonmya, we have built a team of professionals to market and distribute our products.
+Added: Our commercial portfolio consists of two FDA-approved
+Added: prescription products for the treatment of migraine which were acquired from Upsher-Smith Laboratories (“Upsher Smith”) in June 2023:
+Added: Zembrace ® SymTouch ® (sumatriptan injection) 3 mg and Tosymra ® (sumatriptan nasal spray) 10
+Added: Zembrace SymTouch and Tosymra are both indicated for the treatment of acute migraine with or without aura in adults.
+Added: Zembrace SymTouch
+Added: is the only branded sumatriptan autoinjector professionally promoted in the United States and is designed for ease of use and favorable
+Added: tolerability with a low 3 mg dose.
+Added: Tosymra is a novel intranasal sumatriptan product formulated with a permeation enhancer that provides
+Added: rapid and efficient absorption of sumatriptan.
+Added: Tosymra was approved on the basis of bioequivalence to subcutaneous ( s.c.
+Added: ) sumatriptan.
+Added: Our commercial team is engaged in marketing and distributing our products, and also engaged in planning the launch of Tonmya.
+Added: In addition to Tonmya and
+Added: our marketed products, we have a pipeline of products in development that include therapeutics and vaccines which are based on small molecules
and biologics.
−Removed: Our portfolio consists of central nervous system, or CNS, rare disease,
−Removed: immunology, and infectious disease product candidates.
−Removed: The CNS portfolio includes small molecules and biologics to treat pain, neurologic,
−Removed: psychiatric and addiction conditions.
−Removed: Our rare disease portfolio focuses on developing novel therapies for patients with rare diseases,
−Removed: including those caused by genetic disorders which are characterized by complex symptoms and for which no drug is approved.
−Removed: Our immunology
−Removed: portfolio includes biologics to address organ transplant rejection, autoimmune diseases and cancer.
−Removed: Our infectious disease portfolio includes
−Removed: a vaccine in development to prevent smallpox and mpox (formerly known as monkeypox), next-generation vaccines to prevent COVID-19, a platform
−Removed: to make fully human mAbs to treat COVID-19 and humanized anti-SARS-CoV-2 mAbs.
−Removed: Our vaccine in development to prevent smallpox and mpox
−Removed: also serves as the live virus vaccine platform or recombinant pox vaccine (RPV) platform for other infectious diseases.
−Removed: Our latest stage CNS product
−Removed: candidate is TNX-102 SL*, a proprietary sublingual tablet formulation of cyclobenzaprine (CBP) designed for bedtime administration.
−Removed: SL has active INDs for fibromyalgia, or FM, FM-type Long COVID or PASC (post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection), posttraumatic stress
−Removed: disorder, or PTSD, agitation in Alzheimer’s disease, or AAD, and alcohol use disorder, or AUD.
−Removed: TNX-102 SL is in mid-Phase 3 development for the management of FM, a pain
−Removed: disorder characterized by chronic widespread pain, non-restorative sleep, fatigue and impaired cognition.
−Removed: In December 2020, we reported
−Removed: positive results from the Phase 3 RELIEF study of TNX-102 SL 5.6 mg for the management of FM.
−Removed: In July 2021, we reported pre-planned interim
−Removed: analysis results from a second Phase 3 study, RALLY.
−Removed: Based on the recommendation from the independent data monitoring committee that the
−Removed: RALLY trial was unlikely to demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in the primary endpoint, we stopped enrollment of new
−Removed: participants but allowed those participants who were already enrolled to complete the study.
−Removed: We reported topline data from the completed
−Removed: study in March of 2022.
−Removed: As expected, based on interim analysis results, TNX-102 SL did not achieve statistical significance over placebo
−Removed: on the primary endpoint of reduction in daily pain, and relative to the previous positive Phase 3 Study (RELIEF), RALLY had an unexpected
−Removed: increase in study participant adverse event-related discontinuations in both drug and placebo groups.
−Removed: In April 2022, we started a new
−Removed: potentially confirmatory Phase 3 study of TNX-102 SL in FM, RESILIENT.
−Removed: Interim analysis results are expected in the second quarter of
−Removed: 2023 and topline results are expected in the fourth quarter of 2023.
−Removed: Following a positive outcome of the RESILIENT study, we believe we
−Removed: would be positioned to file a New Drug Application (NDA) for TNX-102 SL for the management of FM.
−Removed: TNX-102 SL is also
−Removed: being developed as a potential treatment for a type of Long COVID, the symptoms of which overlap with FM, that we term FM-type
−Removed: We initiated enrollment in the Phase 2 study PREVAIL, in August 2022.
−Removed: The primary endpoint is a change in daily pain
−Removed: scores from baseline.
−Removed: For TNX-102 SL in PTSD,
−Removed: we completed the Phase 3 RECOVERY trial and reported topline results in the fourth quarter of 2020 in which TNX-102 SL did not
−Removed: meet the primary efficacy endpoint.
−Removed: PTSD is a serious psychiatric condition that develops in response to experiencing a traumatic
−Removed: We subsequently completed a meeting with the FDA to discuss potential new endpoints for the indication of treatment of PTSD.
−Removed: Future studies will employ the one month look-back CAPS-5 as the primary endpoint rather than the one week look-back used in prior
−Removed: AAD program is Phase 2 ready with an active IND and FDA Fast Track designation.
−Removed: AAD, which includes emotional lability, restlessness,
−Removed: irritability, and aggression, is one of the most distressing and debilitating of the behavioral complications of Alzheimer’s disease.
−Removed: We do not have any near-term plans to start a Phase 2 study in AAD.
−Removed: AUD program is also Phase 2 ready with an active IND.
−Removed: AUD is a chronic relapsing brain disease characterized by compulsive alcohol use,
−Removed: loss of control over alcohol intake, and a negative emotional state when not using alcohol.
−Removed: We do not have any near-term plans to start
−Removed: a Phase 2 study in AUD.
−Removed: TNX-1900* (intranasal
−Removed: potentiated oxytocin) is in development for the treatment of chronic migraine and obesity-associated binge eating disorder, or BED.

−Removed: magnesium, which has been shown in animal studies to potentiate binding of oxytocin to the oxytocin receptor.
−Removed: We received IND
−Removed: clearance from the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2021 to study TNX-1900 in chronic migraine and we initiated a Phase 2 study in
−Removed: migraine in the first quarter of 2023.
−Removed: We expect interim analysis results from the first 50 percent of patients enrolled in the
−Removed: fourth quarter of 2023.
−Removed: In March 2022, we announced an agreement with Massachusetts General Hospital, a teaching hospital of Harvard
−Removed: Medical School, to conduct an investigator-initiated Phase 2 clinical trial to study TNX-1900 in BED.
−Removed: The Phase 2 clinical trial is
−Removed: expected to start in the second quarter of 2023.
−Removed: We do not own an IND for BED.
−Removed: We also licensed technology to use TNX-1900 for the

−Removed: pain, but we are not imminently pursuing clinical trials in either of these indications at this time.
−Removed: TNX-601 ER* (tianeptine hemioxalate extended-release tablets) is a CNS
−Removed: product candidate in development as a treatment for major depressive disorder, or depression, and with possible additional indications
−Removed: of PTSD, and neurocognitive dysfunction associated with corticosteroid use.
−Removed: TNX-601 ER represents a novel approach to treating depression
−Removed: in the U.S., since the active ingredient tianeptine induces a neuroprotective and resilient phenotype in both neurons and microglia under
−Removed: conditions of stress in animals.
−Removed: The dramatic and unique effects of tianeptine are illustrated in animal models by the restoration of
−Removed: dendritic arborization of pyramidal neurons of CA3 region of hippocampus and the dentate gyrus region new neuron formation and integration
−Removed: into hippocampal networks.
−Removed: In contrast, antidepressants that are marketed in the U.S.
−Removed: act by modulating the levels or receptor binding

+Added: TNX-102 SL has completed a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study.
+Added: Long COVID also known as PASC, (post-acute
+Added: sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection) is a chronic post-acute COVID-19 condition.
+Added: We initiated enrollment in the Phase 2 PREVAIL study, in
+Added: August 2022, and topline results were reported in September 2023.
+Added: The study did not meet the primary endpoint of change in mean pain from
+Added: baseline but did show activity in improving fatigue, a hallmark symptom of Long COVID.
+Added: TNX-102 SL also is being developed also as a treatment for acute stress reaction
+Added: (“ASR”) and to prevent acute stress disorder (“ASD”) and posttraumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”) under an investigator-initiated

+Added: TNX-801 also serves as the live virus vaccine platform for other infectious
+Added: diseases for which subsequent products will be designed by expressing other viral antigens in the horsepox vector.
+Added: TNX-1800 is a live virus vaccine on the
+Added: RPV platform that expresses the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein from the ancestral Wuhan strain, which has shown encouraging results in non-human
+Added: In the third quarter of 2023, TNX-1800 was selected by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a part of
+Added: the National Institutes of Health, to be included in their Project NextGen initiative, an initiative to advance a pipeline of new, innovative
+Added: vaccines and therapeutics for COVID-19.
+Added: The COVID-19 vaccines approved for use in the U.S.
have provided significant health benefits to
the vaccinated population;
−Removed: however, they have shown limitations in the durability of protection conferred and in their ability
−Removed: to block forward transmission.
−Removed: Live virus vaccines that protect against other viral diseases by eliciting T cell responses have
−Removed: shown durability of protection that lasts years to decades and some live virus vaccines have significantly inhibited forward transmission.
−Removed: With respect to TNX-1800 vaccination, we reported positive efficacy data from animal challenge studies using live SARS-CoV-2 in
−Removed: the first quarter of 2021.
−Removed: In this study, TNX-1800 vaccinated, SARS-CoV-2 challenged animals had undetectable SARS-CoV-2 in the
−Removed: upper airways, which we believe relates to potential inhibition of forward transmission of this respiratory pathogen.
−Removed: TNX-2300* is a live
−Removed: virus vaccine based on bovine parainfluenza virus in development to protect against COVID-19.
−Removed: In April 2022, we extended a sponsored
−Removed: research agreement with Kansas State University to develop a vaccine candidate, TNX-2300, for the prevention of COVID-19 that utilizes
−Removed: a novel live virus vaccine vector platform based on bovine parainfluenza virus.
−Removed: The efficacy of co-expression of the CD40-ligand,
−Removed: also known as CD154, to stimulate T cell immunity will also be tested.
−Removed: Attenuated bovine parainfluenza virus has previously been
−Removed: shown to be an effective antigen delivery vector in humans.
−Removed: Previous work by others has shown that attenuated BPI3V is tolerated
−Removed: and immunogenic in non-human primates and human infants and children.
−Removed: We believe the vector is well suited for mucosal immunization
−Removed: using a nasal atomizer, and can also be delivered parenterally.
−Removed: TNX-2300 is in the preclinical stage of development.
−Removed: TNX-3600* and TNX-3800*
−Removed: are mAbs directed against SARS-CoV-2 which are in development as potential therapeutic or preventative agents for COVID-19.
−Removed: the unpredictable trajectory of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and new variants, we seek to contribute a broad set of anti-SARS-CoV-2 mAbs,
−Removed: that can be scaled up quickly and potentially combined with other mAbs.
−Removed: We envision the future of mAb therapy for COVID-19 to be
−Removed: cocktails of mAbs with specificity to variants of concern.
−Removed: TNX-3600 refers to a series of fully human mAbs generated by human-human hybridomas from COVID-19 convalescent volunteers.
−Removed: We are collaborating with Columbia University to produce these fully
−Removed: human mAbs to SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins from variants such as delta, omicron and XBB1.5 and to other viral targets.
−Removed: TNX-3800 refers
−Removed: to three humanized murine mAbs which we licensed exclusively in December 2022 from Curia Global, Inc.
−Removed: for the treatment or
−Removed: prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
−Removed: The initial focus is to develop COVID-19 therapeutic mAbs.
−Removed: We plan to seek indications similar
−Removed: to previously EUA-approved therapeutic mAbs for treating individuals with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 who are at high risk for
−Removed: progression to severe disease or for prophylaxis in individuals with compromised immune systems who are at high risk for severe COVID-19 disease.
−Removed: None of the previously EUA-approved therapeutic or preventative mAbs are still available, because each
−Removed: has become obsolete since the SARS-CoV-2 virus has mutated to evade their binding.
−Removed: TNX-3600 and TNX-3800 mAbs may also be used in
−Removed: combination therapy with other COVID-19 therapeutic mAbs.
−Removed: Combination therapies with other anti-SARS-CoV-2 mAbs may reduce the
−Removed: emergence of resistant viral strains.
−Removed: TNX-3600 and TNX-3800 are in the preclinical stage of development.
−Removed: TNX-3700* is a COVID-19
−Removed: mRNA vaccine candidate employing a zinc nanoparticle (ZNP) formulation.
−Removed: In collaboration with Kansas State University, we are developing
−Removed: this ZNP technology as a potential replacement for the lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology used in current mRNA vaccines.
−Removed: ZNP technology
−Removed: potentially allows for improved stability which facilitates shipping and storage and addresses the limitations in current mRNA
−Removed: vaccines which require ultra-cold storage and shipping.
−Removed: This current requirement limits the use of mRNA vaccines in less developed
−Removed: We plan to seek initial indications as a booster, similar to the current FDA approved mRNA vaccines for COVID-19.
−Removed: intend to conduct research with Kansas State University on ZNP SARS-CoV-2 spike based vaccines in tissue culture and animals in
−Removed: the first half of 2023.
−Removed: TNX-3700 is in the preclinical stage of development.
−Removed: Relating to our COVID-19 and other infectious disease development programs,
−Removed: we are developing the resources necessary to enable internal research, development and manufacturing capabilities necessary to meet the
−Removed: goal of producing new vaccine candidates within 100 days of recognition within weeks of obtaining sequence information of a novel pathogen.
−Removed: We seek to be a leader in the movement to re-build domestic U.S.
−Removed: research, development and manufacturing capabilities.
−Removed: Because this movement
−Removed: follows a protracted period when domestic research, development and manufacturing were moved out of the U.S., or “off-shore”
−Removed: by other companies to save on labor and other costs, the movement to reverse that trend has been described as “on-shoring”
−Removed: or “re-domestication”.
−Removed: The COVID-19 pandemic taught that national borders may close during a health emergency.
−Removed: domestic capabilities are essential for the health security of the U.S., which has also been described as pandemic preparedness and biodefense.
−Removed: As articulated in the American Pandemic Preparedness Plan, or AP3, released by the U.S.
−Removed: Office of Science and Technology Policy, this
−Removed: 100-day goal for vaccines is a key component of preparedness for future pandemics.
−Removed: We believe we have established the infrastructure necessary
−Removed: to support the pandemic preparedness goals established in the AP3, specifically with respect to our RPV vaccine and potentially to other
−Removed: vaccine and therapeutic platforms.
−Removed: This infrastructure consists of (i) our R&D Center, or “RDC”, (ii) our Advanced Development
−Removed: Center, or ADC, and (iii) our Commercial Manufacturing Center, or CMC.
−Removed: We acquired the RDC in Frederick, Maryland consisting of one building
−Removed: totaling approximately 48,000 square feet.
−Removed: The acquisition closed in October 2021 and the facility is operational.
−Removed: The RDC facility focuses
−Removed: on our development of vaccines and antiviral drugs against SARS-CoV-2, its variants, and other infectious diseases.
−Removed: The RDC also conducts
−Removed: research on central nervous system and immunology drugs.
−Removed: The RDC facility is mostly biosafety level 2 (BSL-2), with some components designated
−Removed: We completed the substantial renovation of the ADC located in the New Bedford business park in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, which
−Removed: became operational as of the fourth quarter 2022.
−Removed: This approximately 45,000 square foot BSL-2 facility is intended to accelerate development
−Removed: and clinical scale manufacturing of live-virus vaccines and biologics to support clinical trials.
−Removed: We also plan to build the CMC in Hamilton,
−Removed: Montana, where we purchased approximately 44 acres of land and have built a field office to manage construction of the facility.
−Removed: will focus on developing and manufacturing commercial scale live-virus vaccines and biologics and is also intended to be BSL-2.
−Removed: Site enabling
−Removed: work is expected to be initiated for the CMC in 2023.
−Removed: Together, we expect these facilities may qualify the RPV vaccine platform for programs
−Removed: that are designed to carry out the goals of AP3.
−Removed: of our product candidates are investigational new drugs or biologics and have not been approved for any indication.
−Removed: are led by a management team with significant industry experience in drug development.
−Removed: We complement our management team with a network
−Removed: of scientific, clinical, and regulatory advisors that includes recognized experts in their respective fields.

+Added: Tonix has three pre-clinical research
+Added: and development programs developing broad spectrum antivirals.
+Added: The DoD announced in December 2022 a plan to move beyond a ‘one bug,
+Added: one drug’ approach and are seeking broad-spectrum drugs since it may be hard to predict which or how many viruses may be deployed
+Added: on the battlefield.
+Added: TNX-3900* are broad-spectrum small molecule oral antivirals which inhibit essential cathepsins required by viruses
+Added: such as coronaviruses and filoviruses to infect cells.
+Added: TNX-4200* are orally available CD45 antagonists in preclinical development.
+Added: believe that partial inhibition of CD45 will provide optimal antiviral protection while requiring lower plasma drug concentrations and
+Added: a lower dose, and therefore will have a higher safety window.
+Added: Tonix plans to leverage previous research on phosphatase inhibitors, specifically
+Added: compounds that target CD45, to optimize lead compounds for therapeutic intervention of biothreat agents.
+Added: TNX-4000* are viral glycan-targeted
+Added: engineered biologics.
+Added: These antivirals are currently in preclinical development.
+Added: Relating to our development programs, we own and operate the Research and
+Added: Development Center (“RDC”) in Frederick, Maryland consisting of one building totaling approximately 48,000 square feet.
+Added: RDC conducts research on CNS, immunology, and infectious disease candidates.
+Added: The RDC facility is mostly biosafety level 2 (BSL-2), with
