Release – Tonix Pharmaceuticals Presented Post Hoc Analyses of Phase 3 Data on TONMYATM at the 8th International Congress on Controversies in Fibromyalgia

Research News and Market Data on TNXP

March 10, 2026 8:00am EDT Download as PDF

Company launched TONMYA, approved by the FDA as a treatment for fibromyalgia, in November 2025

In post hoc analysis of the pivotal RESILIENT study, TONMYA produced rapid pain relief as early as Day 2 of treatment, with durable pain reduction and significant improvements in all key secondary endpoints as compared to placebo

In pooled post hoc analysis of the pivotal RELIEF and RELISIENT studies, TONMYA showed favorable benefit-risk profile using number needed to treat, number needed to harm, and likelihood to be helped or harmed

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (“Tonix” or the “Company”), a fully integrated, commercial biotechnology company, announced two oral presentations on TONMYATM, which was investigated as TNX-102 SL (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) at the 8th International Congress on Controversies in Fibromyalgia held on March 9-10, 2026, in Krakow, Poland.

“Phase 3 post hoc analyses reinforce the potential of TONMYA to provide a benefit to the approximately 10 million adults in the U.S. living with fibromyalgia,” said Gregory Sullivan, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “In a post hoc analysis of RESILIENT, the data show rapid and early onset of pain relief. In a post hoc analysis of two pivotal studies, TONMYA showed a favorable benefit-risk profile that suggests treatment benefit is nearly four times more likely than discontinuation of treatment due to an adverse event. Together, these findings underscore TONMYA’s profile as a differentiated, generally well tolerated, and effective medicine that may address the unmet medical needs of those with fibromyalgia. TONMYA is the first medication approved for fibromyalgia in over 15 years.”

Oral Presentation One: “Cyclobenzaprine HCl Sublingual Tablets (CBP SL) Provide Rapid Pain Relief in Adults with Fibromyalgia”

In the RESILIENT trial, a 14-week, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study evaluating 457 adults with fibromyalgia as defined by 2016 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria, a post hoc mixed-model repeated-measures analysis demonstrated that TONMYA produced a rapid reduction in pain, with improvements versus placebo observed as early as Day 2 of treatment and statistically significant pain relief at each week over Weeks 1–14. The primary endpoint, change from baseline to Week 14 in weekly average daily numeric rating scale (NRS) pain scores, was met with high statistical significance (p<0.001), with a least-squares mean treatment difference of -0.65. All key secondary endpoints were also statistically significant in favor of TONMYA.

TONMYA was generally well tolerated, with 6.1% of participants discontinuing due to adverse events versus 3.5% with placebo. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were oral cavity reactions, including oral hypoesthesia (23.8%) and abnormal product taste (11.7%), which were typically mild, transient, and self-limited.

Oral Presentation Two: “Cyclobenzaprine HCl Sublingual Tablets for the Treatment of Fibromyalgia: Number Needed to Treat and Number Needed to Harm”

The data from a pooled post hoc analysis of 959 participants (783 completed the studies) from the RELIEF and RESILIENT Phase 3 trials was utilized to further clarify the benefit-risk profile of TONMYA using number needed to treat (NNT), number needed to harm (NNH), and likelihood to be helped or harmed (LHH). The NNT for achieving a clinically meaningful ≥30% pain reduction over placebo at Week 14 was 7 (95% confidence interval (CI): 5–12) while the NNH for discontinuation due to an adverse event was 26 (95% CI: 14–110). Based on these values, the LHH was 3.7, indicating that TONMYA provides a nearly four-fold greater likelihood of clinical benefit than adverse event-related discontinuation.

The pooled safety data were consistent with the known profile of TONMYA, with no new or unexpected safety signals. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were oral cavity reactions that were typically mild, transient, and self-limited.

About Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder that is understood to result from amplified sensory and pain signaling within the central nervous system. Fibromyalgia afflicts an estimated 6-12 million adults in the U.S., approximately 90% of whom are women. Symptoms of fibromyalgia include chronic widespread pain, nonrestorative sleep, fatigue, and morning stiffness. Other associated symptoms include cognitive dysfunction and mood disturbances, including anxiety and depression. Individuals suffering from fibromyalgia struggle with their daily activities, have impaired quality of life, and frequently are disabled. Physicians and patients report common dissatisfaction with currently marketed products.

About TONMYA™ (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets)

TONMYA (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) is a patented sublingual tablet formulation of cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride which provides rapid transmucosal absorption and reduced production of a long half-life active metabolite, norcyclobenzaprine, due to bypass of first-pass hepatic metabolism. As a multifunctional agent with potent binding and antagonist activities at the 5-HT2A serotonergic, α1-adrenergic, H1-histaminergic, and M1-muscarinic receptors, TONMYA was approved on August 15, 2025, by the FDA for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults. TONMYA is the first new prescription medicine approved for fibromyalgia in more than 15 years. TONMYA was investigated as TNX-102 SL. TNX-102 SL is also being developed to treat acute stress reaction (ASR)/acute stress disorder (ASD), and major depressive disorder (MDD). The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued United States Patent No. 9636408 in May 2017, Patent No. 9956188 in May 2018, Patent No. 10117936 in November 2018, Patent No. 10,357,465 in July 2019, and Patent No. 10736859 in August 2020. The Protectic™ protective eutectic and Angstro-Technology™ formulation claimed in the patent are important elements of Tonix’s proprietary TONMYA composition. These patents are expected to provide TONMYA with U.S. market exclusivity until 2034/2035.

INDICATION

TONMYA is indicated for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

TONMYA is contraindicated: In patients with hypersensitivity to cyclobenzaprine or any inactive ingredient in TONMYA. Hypersensitivity reactions may manifest as an anaphylactic reaction, urticaria, facial and/or tongue swelling, or pruritus. Discontinue TONMYA if a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected. With concomitant use of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors or within 14 days after discontinuation of an MAO inhibitor. Hyperpyretic crisis seizures and deaths have occurred in patients who received cyclobenzaprine (or structurally similar tricyclic antidepressants) concomitantly with MAO inhibitors drugs. During the acute recovery phase of myocardial infarction, and in patients with arrhythmias, heart block or conduction disturbances, or congestive heart failure. In patients with hyperthyroidism.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Embryofetal toxicity: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause neural tube defects when used two weeks prior to conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk and to use effective contraception during treatment and for two weeks after the final dose. Perform a pregnancy test prior to initiation of treatment with TONMYA to exclude use of TONMYA during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Serotonin syndrome: Concomitant use of TONMYA with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), tricyclic antidepressants, tramadol, bupropion, meperidine, verapamil, or MAO inhibitors increases the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition. Serotonin syndrome symptoms may include mental status changes, autonomic instability, neuromuscular abnormalities, and/or gastrointestinal symptoms. Treatment with TONMYA and any concomitant serotonergic agent should be discontinued immediately if serotonin syndrome symptoms occur and supportive symptomatic treatment should be initiated. If concomitant treatment with TONMYA and other serotonergic drugs is clinically warranted, careful observation is advised, particularly during treatment initiation or dosage increases.

Tricyclic antidepressant-like adverse reactions: Cyclobenzaprine is structurally related to TCAs. TCAs have been reported to produce arrhythmias, sinus tachycardia, prolongation of the conduction time leading to myocardial infarction and stroke. If clinically significant central nervous system (CNS) symptoms develop, consider discontinuation of TONMYA. Caution should be used when TCAs are given to patients with a history of seizure disorder, because TCAs may lower the seizure threshold. Patients with a history of seizures should be monitored during TCA use to identify recurrence of seizures or an increase in the frequency of seizures.

Atropine-like effects: Use with caution in patients with a history of urinary retention, angle-closure glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure, and in patients taking anticholinergic drugs.

CNS depression and risk of operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery: TONMYA monotherapy may cause CNS depression. Concomitant use of TONMYA with alcohol, barbiturates, or other CNS depressants may increase the risk of CNS depression. Advise patients not to operate a motor vehicle or dangerous machinery until they are reasonably certain that TONMYA therapy will not adversely affect their ability to engage in such activities. Oral mucosal adverse reactions: In clinical studies with TONMYA, oral mucosal adverse reactions occurred more frequently in patients treated with TONMYA compared to placebo. Advise patients to moisten the mouth with sips of water before administration of TONMYA to reduce the risk of oral sensory changes (hypoesthesia). Consider discontinuation of TONMYA if severe reactions occur.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2% and at a higher incidence in TONMYA-treated patients compared to placebo-treated patients) were oral hypoesthesia, oral discomfort, abnormal product taste, somnolence, oral paresthesia, oral pain, fatigue, dry mouth, and aphthous ulcer.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

MAO inhibitors: Life-threatening interactions may occur. Other serotonergic drugs: Serotonin syndrome has been reported. CNS depressants: CNS depressant effects of alcohol, barbiturates, and other CNS depressants may be enhanced. Tramadol: Seizure risk may be enhanced. Guanethidine or other similar acting drugs: The antihypertensive action of these drugs may be blocked.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

Pregnancy: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The limited amount of available observational data on oral cyclobenzaprine use in pregnancy is of insufficient quality to inform a TONMYA-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Advise pregnant women about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to TONMYA and to avoid use of TONMYA two weeks prior to conception and through the first trimester of pregnancy. Report pregnancies to the Tonix Medicines, Inc., adverse-event reporting line at 1-888-869-7633 (1-888-TNXPMED). Lactation: A small number of published cases report the transfer of cyclobenzaprine into human milk in low amounts, but these data cannot be confirmed. There are no data on the effects of cyclobenzaprine on a breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for TONMYA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from TONMYA or from the underlying maternal condition. Pediatric use: The safety and effectiveness of TONMYA have not been established. Geriatric patients: Of the total number of TONMYA-treated patients in the clinical trials in adult patients with fibromyalgia, none were 65 years of age and older. Clinical trials of TONMYA did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients. Hepatic impairment: The recommended dosage of TONMYA in patients with mild hepatic impairment (HI) (Child Pugh A) is 2.8 mg once daily at bedtime, lower than the recommended dosage in patients with normal hepatic function. The use of TONMYA is not recommended in patients with moderate HI (Child Pugh B) or severe HI (Child Pugh C). Cyclobenzaprine exposure (AUC) was increased in patients with mild HI and moderate HI compared to subjects with normal hepatic function, which may increase the risk of TONMYA-associated adverse reactions.

Please see additional safety information in the full Prescribing Information.

To report suspected adverse reactions, contact Tonix Medicines, Inc. at 1-888-869-7633, or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

TONMYA (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults, was commercially launched in November 2025

Treatment with TONMYA provided statistically significant pain reduction in two Phase 3 trials and was generally well tolerated

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., March 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (“Tonix” or the “Company”), a fully integrated, commercial biotechnology company, presented data on TONMYATM (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets), at the 2026 American Academy of Pain Medicine (AAPM) PainConnect Annual Meeting, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

“The data presented at the AAPM PainConnect Annual Meeting support TONMYA’s role as a safe and effective non-opioid analgesic for daily use at bedtime in fibromyalgia,1,2” said Gregory Sullivan, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “TONMYA is designed to target nonrestorative sleep and is a first-in-class tertiary amine tricyclic for long-term use. As the first approved therapy for fibromyalgia in over 15 years, TONMYA is an alternative to three currently FDA-approved medicines, which are limited by side effects, adherence, and high discontinuation rates. TONMYA’s unique sublingual formulation enables cyclobenzaprine to bypass first-pass hepatic metabolism. Relative to off-label oral swallowed cyclobenzaprine, TONMYA treatment results in reduced formation of the active, persistent metabolite norcyclobenzaprine, which we believe interferes with the durability of cyclobenzaprine’s treatment effect in fibromyalgia with long term dosing. Oral cyclobenzaprine failed in development because it provided only short-term (one month) benefit3, which is not sufficient for the treatment of fibromyalgia, a chronic condition that requires a sustained treatment effect.”

Data presented at the AAPM PainConnect Annual Meeting are from the Phase 3 RESILIENT trial, a 14-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that assessed the safety and efficacy of TONMYA in 457 patients who met the 2016 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia. In addition to showing a statistically significant reduction in mean daily pain at 14 weeks, TONMYA treatment resulted in an increase over placebo in the number of individuals with a 30% reduction in daily pain, which is considered a clinically meaningful response. The most common adverse events were mild and self-limited oral cavity reactions that uncommonly led to study withdrawal. TONMYA was approved by the FDA in August 2025 in part based on the Phase 3 RESILIENT trial results and was commercially launched in the U.S. in November 2025.

TCAs have been reported to produce arrhythmias, sinus tachycardia, prolongation of the conduction time leading to myocardial infarction and stroke. If clinically significant central nervous system (CNS) symptoms develop, consider discontinuation of TONMYA. Caution should be used when TCAs are given to patients with a history of seizure disorder, because TCAs may lower the seizure threshold. Patients with a history of seizures should be monitored during TCA use to identify recurrence of seizures or an increase in the frequency of seizures.

Atropine-like effects: Use with caution in patients with a history of urinary retention, angle-closure glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure, and in patients taking anticholinergic drugs.

CNS depression and risk of operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery: TONMYA monotherapy may cause CNS depression. Concomitant use of TONMYA with alcohol, barbiturates, or other CNS depressants may increase the risk of CNS depression. Advise patients not to operate a motor vehicle or dangerous machinery until they are reasonably certain that TONMYA therapy will not adversely affect their ability to engage in such activities. Oral mucosal adverse reactions: In clinical studies with TONMYA, oral mucosal adverse reactions occurred more frequently in patients treated with TONMYA compared to placebo. Advise patients to moisten the mouth with sips of water before administration of TONMYA to reduce the risk of oral sensory changes (hypoesthesia). Consider discontinuation of TONMYA if severe reactions occur.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2% and at a higher incidence in TONMYA-treated patients compared to placebo-treated patients) were oral hypoesthesia, oral discomfort, abnormal product taste, somnolence, oral paresthesia, oral pain, fatigue, dry mouth, and aphthous ulcer.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

MAO inhibitors: Life-threatening interactions may occur. Other serotonergic drugs: Serotonin syndrome has been reported. CNS depressants: CNS depressant effects of alcohol, barbiturates, and other CNS depressants may be enhanced. Tramadol: Seizure risk may be enhanced. Guanethidine or other similar acting drugs: The antihypertensive action of these drugs may be blocked.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

Pregnancy: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The limited amount of available observational data on oral cyclobenzaprine use in pregnancy is of insufficient quality to inform a TONMYA-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Advise pregnant women about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to TONMYA and to avoid use of TONMYA two weeks prior to conception and through the first trimester of pregnancy. Report pregnancies to the Tonix Medicines, Inc., adverse-event reporting line at 1-888-869-7633 (1-888-TNXPMED). Lactation: A small number of published cases report the transfer of cyclobenzaprine into human milk in low amounts, but these data cannot be confirmed. There are no data on the effects of cyclobenzaprine on a breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for TONMYA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from TONMYA or from the underlying maternal condition. Pediatric use: The safety and effectiveness of TONMYA have not been established. Geriatric patients: Of the total number of TONMYA-treated patients in the clinical trials in adult patients with fibromyalgia, none were 65 years of age and older. Clinical trials of TONMYA did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients. Hepatic impairment: The recommended dosage of TONMYA in patients with mild hepatic impairment (HI) (Child Pugh A) is 2.8 mg once daily at bedtime, lower than the recommended dosage in patients with normal hepatic function. The use of TONMYA is not recommended in patients with moderate HI (Child Pugh B) or severe HI (Child Pugh C). Cyclobenzaprine exposure (AUC) was increased in patients with mild HI and moderate HI compared to subjects with normal hepatic function, which may increase the risk of TONMYA-associated adverse reactions.

Please see additional safety information in the full Prescribing Information.

To report suspected adverse reactions, contact Tonix Medicines, Inc. at 1-888-869-7633, or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

Release – Tonix Pharmaceuticals Presented Phase 3 RESILIENT Data on TONMYA™ (Cyclobenzaprine HCl Sublingual Tablets) at the 2026 Non-Opioid Pain Therapeutics Summit

Research News and Market Data on TNXP

January 30, 2026 7:00am EST Download as PDF

TONMYA demonstrated significant reduction in fibromyalgia pain compared with placebo in the Phase 3 RESILIENT study

Unique sublingual formulation designed for bedtime dosing bypasses first-pass metabolism, optimizing parent-drug exposure during sleep and decreasing levels of the persistent active metabolite

Treatment was well tolerated with minimal effects on weight or blood pressure

CHATHAM, N.J., Jan. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (“Tonix” or the “Company”), a fully integrated, commercial biotechnology company, presented data on TONMYA™, which was investigated as TNX-102 SL, at the 2026 Non-Opioid Pain Therapeutics Summit, on January 29, 2026, in Boston, Massachusetts. A copy of the Company’s presentation, titled “TNX-102 SL (Sublingual Cyclobenzaprine HCl): a Centrally Acting Non-Opioid Analgesic for the Treatment of Fibromyalgia,” is available under the Scientific Presentations tab of the Tonix website at www.tonixpharma.com.

“Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder affecting more than 10 million adults in the U.S., with existing treatments often limited by tolerability and side effects,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “The data presented at the Non-Opioid Pain Therapeutics Summit by our Chief Medical Officer, Gregory Sullivan, M.D. highlight TONMYA’S role as a centrally-acting, differentiated non-opioid treatment. TONMYA’S unique sublingual formulation is designed for bedtime administration and to bypass first-pass metabolism, resulting in a pharmacokinetic profile that favors parent-drug exposure during sleep while limiting daytime exposure to the active metabolite. Since fibromyalgia patients are commonly prescribed opioids off-label, there is a clear need for effective non-opioid alternatives.”

The data presented at the Summit come from RESILIENT, a 14-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial at 34 U.S. sites, with 456 intent-to-treat participants who met the 2016 American College of Rheumatology criteria for fibromyalgia. Participants received TONMYA or placebo administered sublingually at bedtime. Treatment with TONMYA resulted in a statistically significant reduction in weekly average pain scores at Week 14 (p<0.0001) versus placebo, with an effect size of 0.38. The study also demonstrated significant improvements in key secondary endpoints, including sleep disturbance (p<0.001), fatigue (p<0.001), and the Symptoms (p<0.001) and Function (p=0.001) domains of the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire-Revised (p<0.001 for both). TONMYA was well tolerated, with minimal impact on weight and blood pressure, and a rate of adverse event-related discontinuations of 6.1% on TONMYA vs. 3.5% on placebo. The most common adverse events were mild and self-limited oral cavity reactions that rarely led to study withdrawal.

“TONMYA’S sublingual formulation largely bypasses first-pass hepatic metabolism, which reduces formation of norcyclobenzaprine, the persistent active metabolite that we believe otherwise interferes with the duration of the treatment effect,” said Dr. Sullivan. “This results in a distinct pharmacokinetic profile compared to oral cyclobenzaprine, with greater relative bioavailability of the parent drug during sleep and reduced active metabolite exposure during daytime. Bedtime sublingual administration is also designed to target the non-restorative sleep that is central to fibromyalgia pathophysiology, translating to broad-spectrum activity across the core symptoms of fibromyalgia, including pain, sleep disturbance, and fatigue, with a favorable tolerability profile that may reduce the need for polypharmacy.”

TONMYA was approved on August 15, 2025, by the FDA for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults. It is the first new prescription medicine approved for fibromyalgia in more than 15 years.

INDICATION
TONMYA is indicated for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
TONMYA is contraindicated:
In patients with hypersensitivity to cyclobenzaprine or any inactive ingredient in TONMYA. Hypersensitivity reactions may manifest as an anaphylactic reaction, urticaria, facial and/or tongue swelling, or pruritus. Discontinue TONMYA if a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected. With concomitant use of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors or within 14 days after discontinuation of an MAO inhibitor. Hyperpyretic crisis seizures and deaths have occurred in patients who received cyclobenzaprine (or structurally similar tricyclic antidepressants) concomitantly with MAO inhibitors drugs.

During the acute recovery phase of myocardial infarction, and in patients with arrhythmias, heart block or conduction disturbances, or congestive heart failure. In patients with hyperthyroidism.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Embryofetal toxicity: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause neural tube defects when used two weeks prior to conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk and to use effective contraception during treatment and for two weeks after the final dose. Perform a pregnancy test prior to initiation of treatment with TONMYA to exclude use of TONMYA during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Serotonin syndrome: Concomitant use of TONMYA with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), tricyclic antidepressants, tramadol, bupropion, meperidine, verapamil, or MAO inhibitors increases the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition. Serotonin syndrome symptoms may include mental status changes, autonomic instability, neuromuscular abnormalities, and/or gastrointestinal symptoms. Treatment with TONMYA and any concomitant serotonergic agent should be discontinued immediately if serotonin syndrome symptoms occur and supportive symptomatic treatment should be initiated. If concomitant treatment with TONMYA and other serotonergic drugs is clinically warranted, careful observation is advised, particularly during treatment initiation or dosage increases.

Tricyclic antidepressant-like adverse reactions: Cyclobenzaprine is structurally related to TCAs. TCAs have been reported to produce arrhythmias, sinus tachycardia, prolongation of the conduction time leading to myocardial infarction and stroke. If clinically significant central nervous system (CNS) symptoms develop, consider discontinuation of TONMYA. Caution should be used when TCAs are given to patients with a history of seizure disorder, because TCAs may lower the seizure threshold. Patients with a history of seizures should be monitored during TCA use to identify recurrence of seizures or an increase in the frequency of seizures.

Atropine-like effects: Use with caution in patients with a history of urinary retention, angle-closure glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure, and in patients taking anticholinergic drugs.

CNS depression and risk of operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery: TONMYA monotherapy may cause CNS depression. Concomitant use of TONMYA with alcohol, barbiturates, or other CNS depressants may increase the risk of CNS depression. Advise patients not to operate a motor vehicle or dangerous machinery until they are reasonably certain that TONMYA therapy will not adversely affect their ability to engage in such activities. Oral mucosal adverse reactions: In clinical studies with TONMYA, oral mucosal adverse reactions occurred more frequently in patients treated with TONMYA compared to placebo. Advise patients to moisten the mouth with sips of water before administration of TONMYA to reduce the risk of oral sensory changes (hypoesthesia). Consider discontinuation of TONMYA if severe reactions occur.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2% and at a higher incidence in TONMYA-treated patients compared to placebo-treated patients) were oral hypoesthesia, oral discomfort, abnormal product taste, somnolence, oral paresthesia, oral pain, fatigue, dry mouth, and aphthous ulcer.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

MAO inhibitors: Life-threatening interactions may occur.

Other serotonergic drugs: Serotonin syndrome has been reported.

CNS depressants: CNS depressant effects of alcohol, barbiturates, and other CNS depressants may be enhanced.

Tramadol: Seizure risk may be enhanced.

Guanethidine or other similar acting drugs: The antihypertensive action of these drugs may be blocked.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Pregnancy: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The limited amount of available observational data on oral cyclobenzaprine use in pregnancy is of insufficient quality to inform a TONMYA-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Advise pregnant women about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to TONMYA and to avoid use of TONMYA two weeks prior to conception and through the first trimester of pregnancy. Report pregnancies to the Tonix Medicines, Inc., adverse-event reporting line at 1-888-869-7633 (1-888-TNXPMED).

Lactation: A small number of published cases report the transfer of cyclobenzaprine into human milk in low amounts, but these data cannot be confirmed. There are no data on the effects of cyclobenzaprine on a breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for TONMYA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from TONMYA or from the underlying maternal condition.

Pediatric use: The safety and effectiveness of TONMYA have not been established.

Geriatric patients: Of the total number of TONMYA-treated patients in the clinical trials in adult patients with fibromyalgia, none were 65 years of age and older. Clinical trials of TONMYA did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.

Hepatic impairment: The recommended dosage of TONMYA in patients with mild hepatic impairment (HI) (Child Pugh A) is 2.8 mg once daily at bedtime, lower than the recommended dosage in patients with normal hepatic function. The use of TONMYA is not recommended in patients with moderate HI (Child Pugh B) or severe HI (Child Pugh C). Cyclobenzaprine exposure (AUC) was increased in patients with mild HI and moderate HI compared to subjects with normal hepatic function, which may increase the risk of TONMYA-associated adverse reactions.

The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2% and at a higher incidence in TONMYA-treated patients compared to placebo-treated patients) were oral hypoesthesia, oral discomfort, abnormal product taste, somnolence, oral paresthesia, oral pain, fatigue, dry mouth, and aphthous ulcer.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

MAO inhibitors: Life-threatening interactions may occur.

Other serotonergic drugs: Serotonin syndrome has been reported.

CNS depressants: CNS depressant effects of alcohol, barbiturates, and other CNS depressants may be enhanced.

Tramadol: Seizure risk may be enhanced.

Guanethidine or other similar acting drugs: The antihypertensive action of these drugs may be blocked.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Pregnancy: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The limited amount of available observational data on oral cyclobenzaprine use in pregnancy is of insufficient quality to inform a TONMYA-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Advise pregnant women about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to TONMYA and to avoid use of TONMYA two weeks prior to conception and through the first trimester of pregnancy. Report pregnancies to the Tonix Medicines, Inc., adverse-event reporting line at 1-888-869-7633 (1-888-TNXPMED).

Lactation: A small number of published cases report the transfer of cyclobenzaprine into human milk in low amounts, but these data cannot be confirmed. There are no data on the effects of cyclobenzaprine on a breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for TONMYA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from TONMYA or from the underlying maternal condition.

Pediatric use: The safety and effectiveness of TONMYA have not been established.

Geriatric patients: Of the total number of TONMYA-treated patients in the clinical trials in adult patients with fibromyalgia, none were 65 years of age and older. Clinical trials of TONMYA did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.

Hepatic impairment: The recommended dosage of TONMYA in patients with mild hepatic impairment (HI) (Child Pugh A) is 2.8 mg once daily at bedtime, lower than the recommended dosage in patients with normal hepatic function. The use of TONMYA is not recommended in patients with moderate HI (Child Pugh B) or severe HI (Child Pugh C). Cyclobenzaprine exposure (AUC) was increased in patients with mild HI and moderate HI compared to subjects with normal hepatic function, which may increase the risk of TONMYA-associated adverse reactions.

Please see additional safety information in the full Prescribing Information.

Release – Tonix Pharmaceuticals Announces Program Updates on Phase 2/3-Ready Long-Acting Monoclonal Antibody (mAb) Designed for Seasonal Prevention of Lyme Disease (TNX-4800)

Research News and Market Data on TNXP

December 29, 2025 7:45am EST Download as PDF

Exploring clinical development plan options including a controlled human infection model (CHIM) and a Phase 2/3 adaptive field study

Expect to have investigational product of TNX-4800 (anti-Borrelia OspA mAb) available for clinical trials in early 2027

Approximately 70 million people that live, work or vacation in areas of the U.S. in which Lyme disease is endemic could potentially benefit from pre-exposure prophylaxis

CHATHAM, N.J., Dec. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (“Tonix” or the “Company”), a fully-integrated commercial stage biotechnology company, today announced program updates on TNX-4800 (formerly known as mAb 2217LS)1,2, which is a long-acting human monoclonal antibody (mAb) that targets the outer surface protein A (OspA) of Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease in humans. TNX-4800 is being developed for annual seasonal use, as one subcutaneous administration in the spring to protect against Lyme disease through fall, or the entire tick season in the U.S. There are no currently marketed U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved vaccines or prophylactics to protect against Lyme disease.

“We plan to meet with the FDA in 2026 to explore Phase 2/3 development options,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “We believe a controlled human infection model (CHIM)3-5 study using Borrelia-infected ticks that mimics natural infection would be a potential path to demonstrating TNX-4800 efficacy for approval. We are on a path to have investigational product produced under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) available for testing early in 2027. We believe TNX-4800’s long-acting mAb prophylaxis could play an important role for preventing Lyme for millions of people who live, work, and vacation in regions endemic for Lyme disease. TNX-4800 provides near-immediate immunity to the bacteria that cause Lyme disease after a single administration, which is very different from Lyme disease vaccine programs currently in development. Prophylaxis with TNX-4800 may also avoid the limitations of vaccine products designed to actively immunize against Lyme, including suboptimal immune responses from age, immunocompetence, and other reasons.”

About TNX-4800
TNX-4800 (formerly known as mAb 2217LS) is a fully human monoclonal antibody with an engineered extended half-life that targets the outer-surface protein A (OspA) on Lyme-causing Borrelia bacteria. By binding OspA when TNX-4800 containing blood is ingested by the tick, TNX-4800 kills and blocks the maturation of Borrelia burgdorferi in the mid-gut of infected deer ticks. Published work in non-human primates showed that TNX-4800 was 95% effective in preventing infection after 6 days of exposure to ticks infected with Borrelia burgdorferi.1 TNX-4800 was derived from mAb 2217 by amino acid substitutions in its crystallizable fragment (Fc) domain which served to prolong the serum half-life. A single administration in the Spring is designed to provide immunity within two days and maintain protective antibody titers for the entire tick season, providing pre-exposure prophylaxis against Lyme disease without relying on the recipient’s immune system to generate antibodies. By delivering a well-characterized antibody directly, TNX-4800 has been shown to block transmission of the major Borrelia genospecies from ticks to animals. TNX-4800 also sidesteps the multidose schedules required for OspA vaccines in development6 and FDA-approved vaccines that have been withdrawn from the market due to concerns about increased risk of autoimmunity.7 Tonix intends to advance TNX-4800 through additional clinical trials with the goal of submitting a Biologics Licensing Application (BLA) to the FDA.

About TNX-4800 Pharmacokinetics
TNX-4800 was studied in a randomized, double-blind, sequential dose-escalation study (NCT04863287) that evaluated safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of TNX-4800 in healthy adults. Forty-four subjects were randomized and 41 completed the study. Subjects received a single subcutaneous (SC) administration of placebo or TNX-4800 at 0.5, 1.5, 5, or 10 mg/kg. Safety was assessed via clinical and lab evaluations. Drug exposure increased by approximately 25-times for a 20-times increase in dose. Serum TNX-4800 was measurable at the earliest sampling time of 24 hours, indicating rapid systemic absorption. TNX-4800 concentrations remained quantifiable for >200 days in 80% of volunteers at the lowest dose and for up to 350 days in the majority of volunteers at higher doses (i.e., ≥ 1.5 mg/kg). Mean half-life ranged from 62–69 days across groups. Serum concentrations remained quantifiable for up to 12 months in most subjects. Mean exposure for the 10 mg/kg cohort was less than 20% of the highest exposures in a rat toxicology study. Anti-drug antibodies (ADA) were detected in <10% of treated subjects, with no impact on PK. Most adverse events were mild or moderate. TNX-4800 was determined to be generally safe and well tolerated.

About Lyme Disease 
In the United States, Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. Lyme disease remains the most common vector-borne infection in the United States and its incidence is climbing each year.8 It occurs most commonly in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic, and upper-Midwest regions. Lyme disease bacteria are transmitted through the bite of infected Ixodes ticks. Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Laboratory testing is helpful if used correctly and performed with FDA-cleared tests. Although many cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with antibiotics, diagnosis and treatment are often delayed or missed, and even with treatment, up to 20% of cases may progress to a Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS) called “Chronic Lyme” or “Long Lyme”. Chronic Lyme is considered an Infection Associated Chronic Illness (IACI), and is a chronic, debilitating disease state characterized by joint and muscle pain, fatigue and other symptoms.9

About Borrelia Burgdorferi
In infected deer ticks, Borrelia’s OspA lipoprotein binds to tick-gut receptor TROSPA and helps it adhere to the midgut lining. During a tick bite blood meal, Borrelia downregulates OspA, upregulates OspC, and activates motility genes. Borrelia undergoes a metamorphic-like transformation, becoming highly flagellated and mobile, which facilitates migration to the tick salivary glands and invasion of human host tissues. During a tick bite of an animal pre-treated with TNX-4800, the tick ingests host blood containing TNX-4800, which kills and blocks the metamorphic-like transformation of Borrelia in the tick’s midgut preventing transmission of the bacteria. Lyme-causing Borrelia-exposed or -infected individuals, rarely make antibodies against OspA which allows for people to be reinfected despite having immunity to OspC. Consequently, we expect that protection against Borrelia would require annual prophylaxis with TNX-4800.

About Monoclonal Antibody Prophylaxis
Two long-acting monoclonal antibody products10,11 have won FDA approval for prophylaxis against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). AstraZeneca (in partnership with Sanofi) markets Beyfortus™ (nirsevimab) and Merck markets Enflonsia™ (clesrovimab).

INDICATION
TONMYA is indicated for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
TONMYA is contraindicated:
In patients with hypersensitivity to cyclobenzaprine or any inactive ingredient in TONMYA. Hypersensitivity reactions may manifest as an anaphylactic reaction, urticaria, facial and/or tongue swelling, or pruritus. Discontinue TONMYA if a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected.
With concomitant use of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors or within 14 days after discontinuation of an MAO inhibitor. Hyperpyretic crisis seizures and deaths have occurred in patients who received cyclobenzaprine (or structurally similar tricyclic antidepressants) concomitantly with MAO inhibitors drugs.

During the acute recovery phase of myocardial infarction, and in patients with arrhythmias, heart block or conduction disturbances, or congestive heart failure.
In patients with hyperthyroidism.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Embryofetal toxicity: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause neural tube defects when used two weeks prior to conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk and to use effective contraception during treatment and for two weeks after the final dose. Perform a pregnancy test prior to initiation of treatment with TONMYA to exclude use of TONMYA during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Serotonin syndrome: Concomitant use of TONMYA with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), tricyclic antidepressants, tramadol, bupropion, meperidine, verapamil, or MAO inhibitors increases the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition. Serotonin syndrome symptoms may include mental status changes, autonomic instability, neuromuscular abnormalities, and/or gastrointestinal symptoms. Treatment with TONMYA and any concomitant serotonergic agent should be discontinued immediately if serotonin syndrome symptoms occur and supportive symptomatic treatment should be initiated. If concomitant treatment with TONMYA and other serotonergic drugs is clinically warranted, careful observation is advised, particularly during treatment initiation or dosage increases.
Tricyclic antidepressant-like adverse reactions: Cyclobenzaprine is structurally related to TCAs. TCAs have been reported to produce arrhythmias, sinus tachycardia, prolongation of the conduction time leading to myocardial infarction and stroke. If clinically significant central nervous system (CNS) symptoms develop, consider discontinuation of TONMYA. Caution should be used when TCAs are given to patients with a history of seizure disorder, because TCAs may lower the seizure threshold. Patients with a history of seizures should be monitored during TCA use to identify recurrence of seizures or an increase in the frequency of seizures.

Atropine-like effects: Use with caution in patients with a history of urinary retention, angle-closure glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure, and in patients taking anticholinergic drugs.

CNS depression and risk of operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery: TONMYA monotherapy may cause CNS depression. Concomitant use of TONMYA with alcohol, barbiturates, or other CNS depressants may increase the risk of CNS depression. Advise patients not to operate a motor vehicle or dangerous machinery until they are reasonably certain that TONMYA therapy will not adversely affect their ability to engage in such activities.
Oral mucosal adverse reactions: In clinical studies with TONMYA, oral mucosal adverse reactions occurred more frequently in patients treated with TONMYA compared to placebo. Advise patients to moisten the mouth with sips of water before administration of TONMYA to reduce the risk of oral sensory changes (hypoesthesia). Consider discontinuation of TONMYA if severe reactions occur.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2% and at a higher incidence in TONMYA-treated patients compared to placebo-treated patients) were oral hypoesthesia, oral discomfort, abnormal product taste, somnolence, oral paresthesia, oral pain, fatigue, dry mouth, and aphthous ulcer.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

MAO inhibitors: Life-threatening interactions may occur.

Other serotonergic drugs: Serotonin syndrome has been reported.

CNS depressants: CNS depressant effects of alcohol, barbiturates, and other CNS depressants may be enhanced.

Tramadol: Seizure risk may be enhanced.
Guanethidine or other similar acting drugs: The antihypertensive action of these drugs may be blocked.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Pregnancy: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The limited amount of available observational data on oral cyclobenzaprine use in pregnancy is of insufficient quality to inform a TONMYA-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Advise pregnant women about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to TONMYA and to avoid use of TONMYA two weeks prior to conception and through the first trimester of pregnancy. Report pregnancies to the Tonix Medicines, Inc., adverse-event reporting line at 1-888-869-7633 (1-888-TNXPMED).

Lactation: A small number of published cases report the transfer of cyclobenzaprine into human milk in low amounts, but these data cannot be confirmed. There are no data on the effects of cyclobenzaprine on a breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for TONMYA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from TONMYA or from the underlying maternal condition.

Pediatric use: The safety and effectiveness of TONMYA have not been established.
Geriatric patients: Of the total number of TONMYA-treated patients in the clinical trials in adult patients with fibromyalgia, none were 65 years of age and older. Clinical trials of TONMYA did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.

Hepatic impairment: The recommended dosage of TONMYA in patients with mild hepatic impairment (HI) (Child Pugh A) is 2.8 mg once daily at bedtime, lower than the recommended dosage in patients with normal hepatic function. The use of TONMYA is not recommended in patients with moderate HI (Child Pugh B) or severe HI (Child Pugh C). Cyclobenzaprine exposure (AUC) was increased in patients with mild HI and moderate HI compared to subjects with normal hepatic function, which may increase the risk of TONMYA-associated adverse reactions.

Tonix Announced Acquisition of A Non-Opioid Pain Reliever. Tonix continues to build its neurological pain pipeline with the licensing of a Sigma-1 receptor antagonist for development in neuropathic pain relief. Published studies on the Sigma-1 receptor’s mechanism of action have shown activity in pain and several neurological diseases. We see this as an extension of the company’s product line in neurology, including products for fibromyalgia/pain, acute stress disorder, major depressive disorder, and migraine headache.

TNX-4900 Is Highly Selective For The Sigma-1 Receptor.  The new molecule, known as TNX-4900, is a small molecule developed to be highly selective for the Sigma-1 receptor, avoiding the Sigma-2 and other Sigma receptor-family members. It  has been tested in multiple models of pain and selected for its efficacy and safety profile. TNX-4900 has also shown ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, with favorable adsorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME) properties.

Release – Tonix Pharmaceuticals Announces Licensing TNX-4900, a Selective Sigma-1 Receptor Antagonist for Chronic Neuropathic Pain from Rutgers University

Research News and Market Data on TNXP

December 16, 2025 7:00am EST Download as PDF

Non-opioid analgesic shows efficacy in several animal pain models, including diabetic and chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain

Compelling safety and pharmacokinetic profiles in animals support IND-enabling studies

CHATHAM, N.J., Dec. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (“Tonix” or the “Company”), a fully-integrated commercial biotechnology company, today announced licensing exclusive worldwide rights to TNX-4900 (formerly known as PW507), a highly selective small-molecule Sigma-1 receptor (S1R) antagonist with demonstrated analgesic activity in multiple models of neuropathic pain.

“Sigma-1 receptor antagonism has generated considerable scientific interest as a promising class of non-opioid, non-addictive analgesics,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “With our extensive experience studying and developing an FDA approved non-opioid analgesic we are well-positioned to oversee this new development program. We believe TNX-4900 has the potential to be best-in-class.”

Dr. Youyi Peng, co-inventor of TNX-4900, formerly a Senior Bioinformatics Specialist at the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and now a consultant to Tonix, added, “We used computer-aided and AI-driven approaches to design this new class of selective Sigma-1 receptor antagonists. TNX-4900 showed robust analgesic efficacy in multiple pain models and an encouraging safety profile, supporting its potential as a new non-opioid approach to treating neuropathic pain.”

TNX-4900 was created from a structure-based drug design program led by Dr. Youyi Peng and Dr. William Welsh at Rutgers University that produced a series of potent and selective triazole-based S1R antagonists. The compound binds the human Sigma-1 receptor with nanomolar affinity (Ki = 7.5 nM), demonstrates > 100-fold selectivity over the Sigma-2 receptor, and exhibits high blood-brain barrier penetration and favorable adsorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME) properties, including oral bioavailability of approximately 28%.

“Our foundational research into TNX-4900 represents an important step toward developing non-opioid solutions for chronic pain. We are pleased to see this innovation progress toward potential clinical application, which could address a critical need for safer pain management options,” said Dr. William Welsh, Distinguished Professor in the Department of Pharmacology at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS).

In preclinical models of diabetic and chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain, TNX-4900 produced significant and durable reductions in pain behaviors after both acute and chronic dosing without evidence of tolerance or motor impairment. Tonix plans to advance TNX-4900 through expanded pharmacokinetic, formulation, and safety studies to support IND-enabling development.

INDICATION
TONMYA is indicated for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
TONMYA is contraindicated:

In patients with hypersensitivity to cyclobenzaprine or any inactive ingredient in TONMYA. Hypersensitivity reactions may manifest as an anaphylactic reaction, urticaria, facial and/or tongue swelling, or pruritus. Discontinue TONMYA if a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected.

With concomitant use of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors or within 14 days after discontinuation of an MAO inhibitor. Hyperpyretic crisis seizures and deaths have occurred in patients who received cyclobenzaprine (or structurally similar tricyclic antidepressants) concomitantly with MAO inhibitors drugs.

During the acute recovery phase of myocardial infarction, and in patients with arrhythmias, heart block or conduction disturbances, or congestive heart failure.

In patients with hyperthyroidism.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Embryofetal toxicity: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause neural tube defects when used two weeks prior to conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk and to use effective contraception during treatment and for two weeks after the final dose. Perform a pregnancy test prior to initiation of treatment with TONMYA to exclude use of TONMYA during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Serotonin syndrome: Concomitant use of TONMYA with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), tricyclic antidepressants, tramadol, bupropion, meperidine, verapamil, or MAO inhibitors increases the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition. Serotonin syndrome symptoms may include mental status changes, autonomic instability, neuromuscular abnormalities, and/or gastrointestinal symptoms. Treatment with TONMYA and any concomitant serotonergic agent should be discontinued immediately if serotonin syndrome symptoms occur and supportive symptomatic treatment should be initiated. If concomitant treatment with TONMYA and other serotonergic drugs is clinically warranted, careful observation is advised, particularly during treatment initiation or dosage increases.

Tricyclic antidepressant-like adverse reactions: Cyclobenzaprine is structurally related to TCAs. TCAs have been reported to produce arrhythmias, sinus tachycardia, prolongation of the conduction time leading to myocardial infarction and stroke. If clinically significant central nervous system (CNS) symptoms develop, consider discontinuation of TONMYA. Caution should be used when TCAs are given to patients with a history of seizure disorder, because TCAs may lower the seizure threshold. Patients with a history of seizures should be monitored during TCA use to identify recurrence of seizures or an increase in the frequency of seizures.

Atropine-like effects: Use with caution in patients with a history of urinary retention, angle-closure glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure, and in patients taking anticholinergic drugs.

CNS depression and risk of operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery: TONMYA monotherapy may cause CNS depression. Concomitant use of TONMYA with alcohol, barbiturates, or other CNS depressants may increase the risk of CNS depression. Advise patients not to operate a motor vehicle or dangerous machinery until they are reasonably certain that TONMYA therapy will not adversely affect their ability to engage in such activities.

Oral mucosal adverse reactions: In clinical studies with TONMYA, oral mucosal adverse reactions occurred more frequently in patients treated with TONMYA compared to placebo. Advise patients to moisten the mouth with sips of water before administration of TONMYA to reduce the risk of oral sensory changes (hypoesthesia). Consider discontinuation of TONMYA if severe reactions occur.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2% and at a higher incidence in TONMYA-treated patients compared to placebo-treated patients) were oral hypoesthesia, oral discomfort, abnormal product taste, somnolence, oral paresthesia, oral pain, fatigue, dry mouth, and aphthous ulcer.

DRUG INTERACTIONS
MAO inhibitors: Life-threatening interactions may occur.

Other serotonergic drugs: Serotonin syndrome has been reported.

CNS depressants: CNS depressant effects of alcohol, barbiturates, and other CNS depressants may be enhanced.

Tramadol: Seizure risk may be enhanced.

Guanethidine or other similar acting drugs: The antihypertensive action of these drugs may be blocked.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Pregnancy: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The limited amount of available observational data on oral cyclobenzaprine use in pregnancy is of insufficient quality to inform a TONMYA-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Advise pregnant women about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to TONMYA and to avoid use of TONMYA two weeks prior to conception and through the first trimester of pregnancy. Report pregnancies to the Tonix Medicines, Inc., adverse-event reporting line at 1-888-869-7633 (1-888-TNXPMED).

Lactation: A small number of published cases report the transfer of cyclobenzaprine into human milk in low amounts, but these data cannot be confirmed. There are no data on the effects of cyclobenzaprine on a breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for TONMYA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from TONMYA or from the underlying maternal condition.

Pediatric use: The safety and effectiveness of TONMYA have not been established.

Geriatric patients: Of the total number of TONMYA-treated patients in the clinical trials in adult patients with fibromyalgia, none were 65 years of age and older. Clinical trials of TONMYA did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.

Hepatic impairment: The recommended dosage of TONMYA in patients with mild hepatic impairment (HI) (Child Pugh A) is 2.8 mg once daily at bedtime, lower than the recommended dosage in patients with normal hepatic function. The use of TONMYA is not recommended in patients with moderate HI (Child Pugh B) or severe HI (Child Pugh C). Cyclobenzaprine exposure (AUC) was increased in patients with mild HI and moderate HI compared to subjects with normal hepatic function, which may increase the risk of TONMYA-associated adverse reactions.

Please see additional safety information in the full Prescribing Information.

To report suspected adverse reactions, contact Tonix Medicines, Inc. at 1-888-869-7633, or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

Release – Tonix Pharmaceuticals Announces FDA IND Clearance for Phase 2 Study of TNX-102 SL for the Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder

Research News and Market Data on TNXP

November 24, 2025 7:00am EST Download as PDF

Tonix plans to initiate potential pivotal Phase 2 HORIZON study of TNX-102 SL in adults with major depressive disorder in mid-2026

More than 21 million US adults experience a major depressive episode each year

CHATHAM, N.J., Nov. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (“Tonix” or the “Company”), a fully-integrated commercial biotechnology company, today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the Investigational New Drug (IND) application to support clinical development of TNX-102 SL (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) 5.6 mg for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults.

“There is a clear need for innovative therapies that address depression,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “We believe TNX-102 SL offers a promising approach for individuals suffering from MDD. The unique pharmacological profile of TNX-102 SL is designed to target the disruptive sleep which is often associated with depression. Prior studies of TNX-102 SL in fibromyalgia and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) showed promising signals for improvement of depressive symptoms on the Beck Depression Inventory-II and the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), respectively. We are excited to advance TNX-102 SL and look forward to evaluating its potential as a new treatment option for those affected by depression.”

The IND clearance enables Tonix to proceed with the potentially pivotal Phase 2 HORIZON study, a 6-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of TNX-102 SL as a first-line monotherapy in adults with MDD. About 360 patients will be enrolled at approximately 30 U.S. sites. Eligible participants are 18 years or older and currently experiencing a moderate to severe major depressive episode. The study will compare TNX-102 SL 5.6 mg, taken sublingually at bedtime to placebo, with the primary endpoint being the MADRS total score change from baseline at Week 6. Secondary endpoints include global impression scores, anxiety ratings, and measures of sleep disturbance. Tonix plans to initiate enrollment of the study in mid-year 2026.

“TNX-102 SL is designed to target the disturbed sleep of depression, which is a novel mechanism of action,” said Gregory Sullivan, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “TNX-102 SL has been generally well tolerated in registrational studies of fibromyalgia patients. In the fibromyalgia studies, TNX-102 SL treatment was associated with a low incidence of side effects common with traditional antidepressants like weight gain, blood pressure changes, sexual dysfunction and cognitive issues.”

About Major Depressive Disorder
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a prevalent and serious psychiatric illness that affects adults of all ages, races, and backgrounds. It is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness or loss of interest, along with symptoms such as sleep and appetite disturbances, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts of worthlessness or suicide. These symptoms must last at least two weeks and significantly impair daily functioning. In the United States, more than 21 million adults experience a major depressive episode each year. While several antidepressant medications are available, many individuals do not achieve adequate relief or discontinue treatment due to side effects like weight gain, sleep disruption, and sexual dysfunction. MDD is associated with increased risk of suicide and substantial impairment in quality of life, underscoring the urgent need for new, first-line therapies that are both effective and well-tolerated.

About TNX-102 SL
TNX-102 SL is a patented sublingual tablet formulation of cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride that enables rapid transmucosal absorption and reduces production of the persistent active metabolite, norcyclobenzaprine, by bypassing first-pass hepatic metabolism. TNX-102 SL is a tertiary amine tricyclic (TAT) and multifunctional agent with potent binding and antagonist activities at the 5-HT2A serotonergic, α1-adrenergic, H1-histaminergic, and M1-muscarinic receptors. It is currently FDA approved in the U.S. as a once-daily bedtime treatment for fibromyalgia in adults under the brand name TONMYATM (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets). TNX-102 SL is also in development as a daily bedtime treatment for acute stress reaction/acute stress disorder under an Investigator-initiated IND. In addition to MDD, Tonix also holds active INDs for the following indications for TNX-102 SL: Long COVID (post-acute sequelae of COVID-19), PTSD, alcohol use disorder, and agitation in Alzheimer’s disease. The United States Patent and Trademark Office issued United States Patent No. 9636408 in May 2017, Patent No. 9956188 in May 2018, Patent No. 10117936 in November 2018, Patent No. 10357465 in July 2019, and Patent No. 10736859 in August 2020. The Protectic™ protective eutectic and Angstro-Technology™ formulation claimed in the patents are important elements of Tonix’s proprietary composition. These patents are expected to provide TNX-102 SL U.S. market exclusivity until 2034. Pending patent applications related to method of use could extend exclusivity until 2044.

INDICATION
TONMYA is indicated for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
TONMYA is contraindicated:
In patients with hypersensitivity to cyclobenzaprine or any inactive ingredient in TONMYA. Hypersensitivity reactions may manifest as an anaphylactic reaction, urticaria, facial and/or tongue swelling, or pruritus. Discontinue TONMYA if a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected.
With concomitant use of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors or within 14 days after discontinuation of an MAO inhibitor. Hyperpyretic crisis seizures and deaths have occurred in patients who received cyclobenzaprine (or structurally similar tricyclic antidepressants) concomitantly with MAO inhibitors drugs.
During the acute recovery phase of myocardial infarction, and in patients with arrhythmias, heart block or conduction disturbances, or congestive heart failure.
In patients with hyperthyroidism.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Embryofetal toxicity: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause neural tube defects when used two weeks prior to conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk and to use effective contraception during treatment and for two weeks after the final dose. Perform a pregnancy test prior to initiation of treatment with TONMYA to exclude use of TONMYA during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Serotonin syndrome: Concomitant use of TONMYA with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), tricyclic antidepressants, tramadol, bupropion, meperidine, verapamil, or MAO inhibitors increases the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition. Serotonin syndrome symptoms may include mental status changes, autonomic instability, neuromuscular abnormalities, and/or gastrointestinal symptoms. Treatment with TONMYA and any concomitant serotonergic agent should be discontinued immediately if serotonin syndrome symptoms occur and supportive symptomatic treatment should be initiated. If concomitant treatment with TONMYA and other serotonergic drugs is clinically warranted, careful observation is advised, particularly during treatment initiation or dosage increases.
Tricyclic antidepressant-like adverse reactions: Cyclobenzaprine is structurally related to TCAs. TCAs have been reported to produce arrhythmias, sinus tachycardia, prolongation of the conduction time leading to myocardial infarction and stroke. If clinically significant central nervous system (CNS) symptoms develop, consider discontinuation of TONMYA. Caution should be used when TCAs are given to patients with a history of seizure disorder, because TCAs may lower the seizure threshold. Patients with a history of seizures should be monitored during TCA use to identify recurrence of seizures or an increase in the frequency of seizures.
Atropine-like effects: Use with caution in patients with a history of urinary retention, angle-closure glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure, and in patients taking anticholinergic drugs.
CNS depression and risk of operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery: TONMYA monotherapy may cause CNS depression. Concomitant use of TONMYA with alcohol, barbiturates, or other CNS depressants may increase the risk of CNS depression. Advise patients not to operate a motor vehicle or dangerous machinery until they are reasonably certain that TONMYA therapy will not adversely affect their ability to engage in such activities.
Oral mucosal adverse reactions: In clinical studies with TONMYA, oral mucosal adverse reactions occurred more frequently in patients treated with TONMYA compared to placebo. Advise patients to moisten the mouth with sips of water before administration of TONMYA to reduce the risk of oral sensory changes (hypoesthesia). Consider discontinuation of TONMYA if severe reactions occur.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2% and at a higher incidence in TONMYA-treated patients compared to placebo-treated patients) were oral hypoesthesia, oral discomfort, abnormal product taste, somnolence, oral paresthesia, oral pain, fatigue, dry mouth, and aphthous ulcer.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

MAO inhibitors: Life-threatening interactions may occur.
Other serotonergic drugs: Serotonin syndrome has been reported.
CNS depressants: CNS depressant effects of alcohol, barbiturates, and other CNS depressants may be enhanced.
Tramadol: Seizure risk may be enhanced.
Guanethidine or other similar acting drugs: The antihypertensive action of these drugs may be blocked.
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Pregnancy: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The limited amount of available observational data on oral cyclobenzaprine use in pregnancy is of insufficient quality to inform a TONMYA-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Advise pregnant women about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to TONMYA and to avoid use of TONMYA two weeks prior to conception and through the first trimester of pregnancy. Report pregnancies to the Tonix Medicines, Inc., adverse-event reporting line at 1-888-869-7633 (1-888-TNXPMED).
Lactation: A small number of published cases report the transfer of cyclobenzaprine into human milk in low amounts, but these data cannot be confirmed. There are no data on the effects of cyclobenzaprine on a breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for TONMYA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from TONMYA or from the underlying maternal condition.
Pediatric use: The safety and effectiveness of TONMYA have not been established.
Geriatric patients: Of the total number of TONMYA-treated patients in the clinical trials in adult patients with fibromyalgia, none were 65 years of age and older. Clinical trials of TONMYA did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.
Hepatic impairment: The recommended dosage of TONMYA in patients with mild hepatic impairment (HI) (Child Pugh A) is 2.8 mg once daily at bedtime, lower than the recommended dosage in patients with normal hepatic function. The use of TONMYA is not recommended in patients with moderate HI (Child Pugh B) or severe HI (Child Pugh C). Cyclobenzaprine exposure (AUC) was increased in patients with mild HI and moderate HI compared to subjects with normal hepatic function, which may increase the risk of TONMYA-associated adverse reactions.
Please see additional safety information in the full Prescribing Information.
To report suspected adverse reactions, contact Tonix Medicines, Inc. at 1-888-869-7633, or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

Release – Tonix Pharmaceuticals Announces U.S. Commercial Availability of TONMYA™ (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) as a First-in-Class Fibromyalgia Treatment

November 17, 2025 7:00am EST

CHATHAM, N.J., Nov. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (“Tonix” or the “Company”), a fully integrated, commercial biotechnology company, announced today that TONMYATM (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) is now commercially available at pharmacies by prescription in the United States. TONMYA is a first-in-class treatment for fibromyalgia in adults as a non-opioid analgesic taken once daily at bedtime.

“The availability of TONMYA is a momentous day for Tonix, providing the estimated 10 million people living with fibromyalgia a novel treatment that has been shown to address the debilitating, core symptom of this disease, widespread pain,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “After more than 15 years without innovation for this disease, we are honored to bring this new treatment option to patients in partnership with the full fibromyalgia community including researchers, patients, and investigators. We are excited and motivated to make TONMYA accessible to as many patients as possible.”

The latest Phase 3 trial, RESILIENT, was published in Pain Medicine with data on primary endpoints measuring pain, and secondary endpoints measuring patient’s global impression of change, patient-reported symptoms and function, sleep disturbance, and fatigue.

“For years, fibromyalgia patients have struggled with limited treatment options that often fall short. The availability of TONMYA marks a meaningful advancement by targeting neurotransmitters thought to be involved in fibromyalgia,” said Andrea L. Chadwick, M.D., MSc, FASA, Anesthesiology, Pain, and Perioperative Medicine at The University of Kansas Health System.

“We’re truly excited about this new option for people living with fibromyalgia,” said Sharon Waldrop, a person with lived experience and founder of the Fibromyalgia Association. “The availability of TONMYA provides new hope for our community and represents a crucial step forward in fibromyalgia treatment.”

TONMYA was approved by the FDA on August 15, 2025.

The approval incorporated efficacy from two double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 clinical trials of nearly 1,000 patients in total that evaluated TONMYA as a bedtime treatment for fibromyalgia. Across both Phase 3 trials, TONMYA significantly reduced daily pain scores compared to placebo at 14 weeks, the primary endpoint. Additionally, a greater percentage of study participants taking TONMYA experienced a clinically meaningful (≥30%) improvement in their pain after three months, compared to placebo.

Across three Phase 3 clinical trials with over 1,400 patients evaluated, TONMYA was generally well tolerated. The most common adverse events (incidence ≥2% and at a higher incidence in TONMYA-treated patients compared to placebo-treated patients) included oral hypoesthesia (numbness in the mouth), oral discomfort, abnormal product taste, somnolence (drowsiness), oral paresthesia (tingling, pricking or burning in the mouth), oral pain, fatigue, dry mouth, and aphthous ulcer (canker sore).

About Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder that is understood to result from amplified sensory and pain signaling within the central nervous system. Fibromyalgia afflicts an estimated 10 million adults in the U.S., approximately 80% of whom are women. Symptoms of fibromyalgia include chronic widespread pain, nonrestorative sleep (waking up tired and unrefreshed), fatigue, and morning stiffness. Other associated symptoms include cognitive dysfunction and mood disturbances, including anxiety and depression. Individuals suffering from fibromyalgia struggle with their daily activities, have impaired quality of life, and frequently are disabled. Patients with fibromyalgia have double the medical costs compared to the general population in the U.S.

About TONMYATM (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets)
TONMYA, which was investigated as TNX-102 SL, is a patented sublingual tablet formulation of cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride, which provides rapid transmucosal absorption and reduced production of a long half-life active metabolite, norcyclobenzaprine, due to bypass of first-pass hepatic metabolism. As a tertiary amine tricyclic (TAT) and multifunctional agent with potent binding and antagonist activities at the 5-HT2A serotonergic, α1-adrenergic, H1-histaminergic, and M1-muscarinic receptors, TONMYA is now commercially available as a once-daily bedtime treatment for fibromyalgia in adults. The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued United States Patent No. 9636408 in May 2017, Patent No. 9956188 in May 2018, Patent No. 10117936 in November 2018, Patent No. 10357465 in July 2019, and Patent No. 10736859 in August 2020. The Protectic™ protective eutectic and Angstro-Technology™ formulation claimed in the patent are important elements of Tonix’s proprietary composition. These patents are expected to provide TONMYA with U.S. market exclusivity until 2034. Pending patent applications related to method of use could extend exclusivity until 2044.

About the Phase 3 Clinical Trials: RELIEF and RESILIENT
The RELIEF and RESILIENT studies were double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trials designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TONMYATM (cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride sublingual tablets) for the treatment of fibromyalgia. RELIEF and RESILIENT were two-arm trials that enrolled 503 and 457 adults with fibromyalgia across 40 and 33 United States sites, respectively. In both trials, the first two weeks of treatment consisted of a run-in period in which participants started on TONMYA 2.8 mg (1 tablet) or placebo. Thereafter, all participants increased their dose to TONMYA 5.6 mg (2 x 2.8 mg tablets) or two placebo tablets for the remaining 12 weeks. The primary endpoint across both trials was the daily diary pain intensity score change (TONMYA 5.6 mg vs. placebo) from baseline to Week 14 (using the weekly averages of the daily numerical rating scale scores). Additional details on RELIEF (NCT04172831) and RESILIENT (NCT05273749) are available on clinicaltrials.gov.

RALLY was a replicate Phase 3 trial to RELIEF and RESILIENT that demonstrated greater but non-significant treatment effect with TONMYA compared to placebo and demonstrated consistent safety. Results of this trial may not have been generalizable due to the presence of factors outside the conduct of the study. Additional details are available on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04508621).

Planning to initiate an open-label Phase 2 study of TNX-1500 under an investigator-initiated IND to evaluate safety and activity in the first half of 2026  

Novel immunomodulatory regimen designed to reduce calcineurin inhibitor exposure and improve outcomes

Dimeric Fc-modified mAb TNX-1500 selectively targets cell-associated CD40L with once-monthly dosing

CHATHAM, N.J., Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (“Tonix” or the “Company”), a fully-integrated, commercial biotechnology company, today announced a collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a founding member of Mass General Brigham (MGB) to conduct a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating monoclonal antibody (mAb) TNX-1500 in kidney transplant recipients. The investigator-initiated study will be led by Ayman Al Jurdi, M.D., at MGH and is designed to assess the safety, tolerability and activity of Fc-modified anti-CD40L mAb TNX-1500 in preventing kidney transplant rejection while significantly minimizing the dose of conventional immunosuppressive drugs, which are associated with infection, cancer, cardiovascular side effects and various metabolic derangements. The CD40 ligand (CD40L) is also known as CD154. Study initiation is contingent on institutional review board (IRB) approval and FDA clearance of an investigator-initiated investigational new drug application (IND).

“TNX-1500 represents a differentiated approach that is designed to block the function of cell-associated CD40L,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “Collaborating with MGH, one of the nation’s leading transplant research centers, allows us to advance this promising candidate in patients who need safer therapies with better long-term outcomes. The Fc-modified TNX-1500 has shown activity and has been well tolerated in animals1,2 and in a Phase 1 pharmacodynamic (PD) and pharmacokinetic (PK) study that supports monthly dosing. Ultimately, our goal is to establish TNX-1500 as a monotherapy, with the potential to transform the landscape of organ transplant management.”

“The ability to modulate the immune system without the toxicities associated with prolonged standard dose CNIs is one of the most pressing unmet needs in transplantation,” said Ayman Al Jurdi, M.D., Principal Investigator at MGH. “Studying TNX-1500 in this Phase II trial will allow us to explore its potential to improve long-term outcomes for kidney transplant recipients.”

Pending IRB approval and IND clearance, the open-label, single-center study will enroll five adult kidney transplant recipients at MGH. Patients will receive induction therapy with anti-thymocyte globulin, TNX-1500, tacrolimus, and corticosteroids. The corticosteroids will be tapered and discontinued by Day 33 post-transplant. TNX-1500 will be continued for 12 months (to the primary endpoint) with an option to continue treatment beyond 12 months. Tacrolimus at standard dose will be continued for six months, at which point tacrolimus will be decreased to low dose with the expectation of discontinuing tacrolimus after 12 months. The primary endpoint is the incidence of adverse and serious adverse events at 12 months. Secondary endpoints include graft survival, renal function, biopsy-proven acute rejection, and incidence of donor-specific antibodies. The study is expected to be initiated in the first half of 2026.

About TNX-1500

TNX-1500 (Fc-modified humanized anti-CD40L mAb) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that interacts with the CD40-ligand (CD40L), also known as CD154. TNX-1500 is being developed for the prevention of allograft and xenograft rejection, for the prevention of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) and for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. The first-in-human Phase 1 PD/PK study of TNX-1500 was completed and topline reported in first quarter 2025 to support dosing in a planned Phase 2 trial in kidney transplant recipients. The primary objective of the Phase 1 trial was to assess the safety, tolerability, PD and PK of single-dose intravenous (i.v.) TNX-1500 at 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, and 30 mg/kg. Two published articles in the peer-reviewed American Journal of Transplantation demonstrate TNX-1500 prevents rejection, prolongs survival and preserves graft function as a single agent or in combination with other drugs in animal renal and heart allografts.1,2

INDICATION
TONMYA is indicated for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
TONMYA is contraindicated:
In patients with hypersensitivity to cyclobenzaprine or any inactive ingredient in TONMYA. Hypersensitivity reactions may manifest as an anaphylactic reaction, urticaria, facial and/or tongue swelling, or pruritus. Discontinue TONMYA if a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected.
With concomitant use of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors or within 14 days after discontinuation of an MAO inhibitor. Hyperpyretic crisis seizures and deaths have occurred in patients who received cyclobenzaprine (or structurally similar tricyclic antidepressants) concomitantly with MAO inhibitors drugs.
During the acute recovery phase of myocardial infarction, and in patients with arrhythmias, heart block or conduction disturbances, or congestive heart failure.
In patients with hyperthyroidism.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Embryofetal toxicity: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause neural tube defects when used two weeks prior to conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk and to use effective contraception during treatment and for two weeks after the final dose. Perform a pregnancy test prior to initiation of treatment with TONMYA to exclude use of TONMYA during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Serotonin syndrome: Concomitant use of TONMYA with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), tricyclic antidepressants, tramadol, bupropion, meperidine, verapamil, or MAO inhibitors increases the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition. Serotonin syndrome symptoms may include mental status changes, autonomic instability, neuromuscular abnormalities, and/or gastrointestinal symptoms. Treatment with TONMYA and any concomitant serotonergic agent should be discontinued immediately if serotonin syndrome symptoms occur and supportive symptomatic treatment should be initiated. If concomitant treatment with TONMYA and other serotonergic drugs is clinically warranted, careful observation is advised, particularly during treatment initiation or dosage increases.
Tricyclic antidepressant-like adverse reactions: Cyclobenzaprine is structurally related to TCAs. TCAs have been reported to produce arrhythmias, sinus tachycardia, prolongation of the conduction time leading to myocardial infarction and stroke. If clinically significant central nervous system (CNS) symptoms develop, consider discontinuation of TONMYA. Caution should be used when TCAs are given to patients with a history of seizure disorder, because TCAs may lower the seizure threshold. Patients with a history of seizures should be monitored during TCA use to identify recurrence of seizures or an increase in the frequency of seizures.
Atropine-like effects: Use with caution in patients with a history of urinary retention, angle-closure glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure, and in patients taking anticholinergic drugs.
CNS depression and risk of operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery: TONMYA monotherapy may cause CNS depression. Concomitant use of TONMYA with alcohol, barbiturates, or other CNS depressants may increase the risk of CNS depression. Advise patients not to operate a motor vehicle or dangerous machinery until they are reasonably certain that TONMYA therapy will not adversely affect their ability to engage in such activities.
Oral mucosal adverse reactions: In clinical studies with TONMYA, oral mucosal adverse reactions occurred more frequently in patients treated with TONMYA compared to placebo. Advise patients to moisten the mouth with sips of water before administration of TONMYA to reduce the risk of oral sensory changes (hypoesthesia). Consider discontinuation of TONMYA if severe reactions occur.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2% and at a higher incidence in TONMYA-treated patients compared to placebo-treated patients) were oral hypoesthesia, oral discomfort, abnormal product taste, somnolence, oral paresthesia, oral pain, fatigue, dry mouth, and aphthous ulcer.
DRUG INTERACTIONS
MAO inhibitors: Life-threatening interactions may occur.
Other serotonergic drugs: Serotonin syndrome has been reported.
CNS depressants: CNS depressant effects of alcohol, barbiturates, and other CNS depressants may be enhanced.
Tramadol: Seizure risk may be enhanced.
Guanethidine or other similar acting drugs: The antihypertensive action of these drugs may be blocked.
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Pregnancy: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The limited amount of available observational data on oral cyclobenzaprine use in pregnancy is of insufficient quality to inform a TONMYA-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Advise pregnant women about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to TONMYA and to avoid use of TONMYA two weeks prior to conception and through the first trimester of pregnancy. Report pregnancies to the Tonix Medicines, Inc., adverse-event reporting line at 1-888-869-7633 (1-888-TNXPMED).
Lactation: A small number of published cases report the transfer of cyclobenzaprine into human milk in low amounts, but these data cannot be confirmed. There are no data on the effects of cyclobenzaprine on a breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for TONMYA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from TONMYA or from the underlying maternal condition.
Pediatric use: The safety and effectiveness of TONMYA have not been established.
Geriatric patients: Of the total number of TONMYA-treated patients in the clinical trials in adult patients with fibromyalgia, none were 65 years of age and older. Clinical trials of TONMYA did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.
Hepatic impairment: The recommended dosage of TONMYA in patients with mild hepatic impairment (HI) (Child Pugh A) is 2.8 mg once daily at bedtime, lower than the recommended dosage in patients with normal hepatic function. The use of TONMYA is not recommended in patients with moderate HI (Child Pugh B) or severe HI (Child Pugh C). Cyclobenzaprine exposure (AUC) was increased in patients with mild HI and moderate HI compared to subjects with normal hepatic function, which may increase the risk of TONMYA-associated adverse reactions.
Please see additional safety information in the full Prescribing Information.
To report suspected adverse reactions, contact Tonix Medicines, Inc. at 1-888-869-7633, or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
