Tonix Pharmaceuticals CEO Dr. Seth Lederman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss promising topline results from the company's Phase 1, single ascending dose trial of TNX-1500 in healthy participants. The trial evaluated safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of intravenous TNX-1500 and was designed to support dosing for an upcoming Phase 2 trial in kidney transplant recipients. Two published studies in the American Journal of Transplantation demonstrated that TNX-1500 can prevent rejection, prolong survival, and preserve graft function in non-human primate renal and heart allografts, either as a single agent or in combination with other therapies. Dr. Lederman shared that Phase 1 results showed TNX-1500 at 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg doses effectively blocked both primary and secondary antibody responses to a test antigen. Pharmacokinetic data suggest that monthly dosing at 10 mg/kg or higher could be effective. These findings reinforce the company's confidence in TNX-1500's potential to prevent organ transplant rejection and improve graft survival with a lower long-term toxicity burden compared to existing immunosuppressive therapies. Tonix plans to present these results to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in an End-of-Phase 1 meeting. Pending FDA alignment, the company will move forward with a Phase 2 efficacy study in kidney transplant recipients. #proactiveinvestors #tonixpharmaceuticalsholdingcorp #nasdaq #tnxp #TonixPharmaceuticals #Biotech #FDA #FDAApproval #TNX1500 #MonoclonalAntibodies #OrganTransplant #AutoimmuneDisease #MedicalResearch #PharmaNews #HealthcareInnovation

Tonix Pharmaceuticals CEO Dr. Seth Lederman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share additional safety and tolerability data from RESILIENT, the second positive Phase 3 study evaluating TNX-102 SL for the management of fibromyalgia. Dr. Lederman reported that the results from the study showed that TNX-102 SL treatment was not associated with increases in systolic or diastolic blood pressure or body weight. Additionally, there were no reported sexual side effects. In fact, when systematically investigated using the Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire short form, women who received the study drug had a higher CSFQ-14 score compared to those who received a placebo, indicating improved sexual function. These findings are significant for fibromyalgia patients who require long-term therapies, particularly since weight gain is associated with gabapentinoids, negative sexual side effects are linked to serotonin-reuptake inhibiting medications, and increased blood pressure is a concern with potent noradrenergic-reuptake inhibiting medications. Dr. Lederman highlighted that Tonix Pharmaceuticals' work in this field may present an opportunity to launch the first FDA-approved drug for fibromyalgia in more than a decade. This news underscores the potential for TNX-102 SL to offer improved treatment options and quality of life for individuals suffering from fibromyalgia, a condition with limited therapeutic choices. #proactiveinvestors #tonixpharmaceuticalsholdingcorp #nasdaq #tnxp #FibromyalgiaTreatment, #TandX102SL, #MedicalInnovation, #HealthcareNews, #FDAApproval, #ChronicPainRelief, #ClinicalTrials, #HealthTech, #InnovativeMedicine, #PainManagement, #MedicalBreakthrough, #FibromyalgiaAwareness, #HealthResearch, #DrugDevelopment, #PatientCare, #MedicalScience, #WellnessJourney, #HealthUpdates, #MedicalAdvancements, #CEOInterview, #HealthIndustry, #DrugSafety, #MedicalResults, #HealthTechRevolution #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

This study will involve approximately 36 PWS patients, thoughtfully divided into four distinct groups, each comprising around nine patients. Within these groups, one will receive a placebo, while the remaining three will be administered varying dosage regimens of TNX-2900. Tonix Pharmaceuticals' strategic plan includes the intention to collaborate with a partner to further advance TNX-2900 through its clinical development for PWS. This collaborative effort underscores the commitment to addressing a pressing medical need, as PWS stands out as the most common genetic cause of life-threatening childhood obesity. Importantly, PWS affects both males and females equally, spanning all races and ethnicities. This complex syndrome arises due to the absence of expression of specific genes located on the paternally acquired chromosome 15. In essence, this groundbreaking development in the treatment of Prader-Willi syndrome represents a significant step forward in the pursuit of better outcomes for children and adolescents grappling with this challenging condition, demonstrating Tonix Pharmaceuticals' dedication to advancing medical science and improving the lives of those affected by rare diseases. #proactiveinvestors #tonixpharmaceuticalsholdingcorp #nasdaq #tnxp #PraderWilliSyndrome #MedicalInnovation #HealthcareNews #ClinicalTrials #DrugDevelopment #OxytocinResearch #MagnesiumFormulation #RareDiseaseAwareness #OrphanCondition #HealthTech #PediatricHealth #GeneticDisorders #SethLetterman #Phase2Trial #InnovativeMedicine #MedicalBreakthrough #PatientCare #ScientificAdvancements #HealthScience #TreatmentOptions #WellnessJourney #ResearchUpdate #MedicalDiscovery #FutureOfMedicine #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews
Tonix Pharmaceuticals CEO Dr. Seth Lederman recently joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share exciting news about their COVID vaccine, TNX-1800, selected for testing in Project Next Gen, a White House initiative managed by the Department of Health and Human Services, NIH, and NIAID. The vaccine is based on a live virus platform, providing a unique approach to waking up the immune system. Live virus vaccines, like TNX-1800, offer more durable immunity that lasts a long time and can potentially block virus transmission, addressing limitations seen in mRNA vaccines. This choice of TNX-1800 is a testament to Tonix's nearly decade-long dedication to vaccine development. The technology platform can also be adapted to protect against other infectious diseases, such as monkeypox, smallpox, and tuberculosis, making it a versatile solution for future pandemics. This development highlights the significance of vaccine platforms for tackling various infectious threats. Tonix's approach promises to offer more robust, long-lasting immunity and potential transmission prevention, which could revolutionize our approach to infectious disease control. The platform's adaptability positions it as a valuable tool for future vaccine strategies. #proactiveinvestors #tonixpharmaceuticalsholdingcorp #nasdaq #tnxp#TonixPharmaceuticals #COVIDVaccine #TNX1800 #NextGenVaccines #LiveVirusVaccine #DurableImmunity #InfectiousDisease #PandemicResponse #VaccineTechnology #PublicHealth #HealthcareInnovation #VaccineDevelopment #NIAID #NIH #HealthNews #MedicalResearch #VaccinePlatform #ImmuneResponse #InfectiousThreats #LongLastingProtection #ViralTransmission #SethLetterman #MedicalInnovation #ScienceNews #FutureVaccines #PandemicPrevention #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews
Tonix Pharmaceuticals CEO Dr. Seth Lederman recently joined Steve Darling from Proactive to shed light on the latest developments in their research efforts. The company has successfully concluded the clinical phase of a Phase 3 registration-quality study for TNX-102 SL, a drug developed for the management of fibromyalgia. This study, which is double-blind and placebo-controlled, saw the enrollment of 457 patients across various sites in the United States. Lederman conveyed to Proactive that the topline results from this study are anticipated by late December. Should the results be favorable, this trial is expected to be the conclusive well-controlled efficacy trial needed for the submission of a New Drug Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The urgency and importance of this development are underscored by the fact that an estimated 6-12 million individuals in the U.S. are afflicted with fibromyalgia, a condition that predominantly affects women. In addition to the TNX-102 study, Lederman also discussed another significant milestone: the enrollment of the first participant in a Phase 2 study, supported by the Department of Defense, focusing on TNX-1900 for the improvement of bone health in children with autism spectrum disorder. This investigator-initiated trial represents a foray into addressing the complex needs of children with autism, potentially offering a new therapeutic avenue to enhance their quality of life. #proactiveinvestors #tonixpharmaceuticalsholdingcorp #nasdaq #tnxp #FibromyalgiaTreatment, #TNX102, #MedicalBreakthroughs, #HealthcareInnovation, #ClinicalTrialsUpdate, #AutismResearch, #BoneHealth, #DrugDevelopment, #FDAApprovalProcess, #HealthNews, #MedicalAdvancements, #PharmaceuticalIndustry, #IntranasalOxytocin, #CEOInterview, #MedicalScience, #ResearchUpdate, #HealthTech, #FutureOfMedicine, #DrugDiscovery, #ScienceAndHealth, #ClinicalStudies, #InnovationInMedicine, #MedicalBreakthroughs2023 #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Tonix Pharmaceuticals CEO Seth Lederman joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with news that the company has a monkeypox vaccine in development. Declared a public health emergency by the US government last week, Lederman told Proactive that Tonix has been working on TNX-801, which prevents smallpox and monkeypox, for 10 years. "We are excited about the prospect of getting involved in the monkeypox crisis right now," Lederman said. Lederman also discuss recent news that Tonix Pharmaceuticals has received a grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse to support development of its treatment of cocaine intoxication.
What is monkeypox and how did it get here?We're talking about the monkeypox virus: its incubation period, symptoms, transmission, how contagious it is, treatment and mortality rate. It's similar to smallpox, which only two countries are officially in possession of WHO authorized smallpox repositories of. Iraq, North Korea and France are also believed to possess “illegal” stockpiles. If you enjoy our content, become a patron and unlock our premium episodes. 1 We discuss how Russia produced tons of biological weapons using similar plagues. As Pulitzer Prize winner Ed Yong of The Atlantic said, “The US has spent decades thinking about how to handle smallpox bioterrorism. The two cases of monkeypox in 2021 provided handy test runs for those plans.” The State Centre for Research on Virology and Biotechnology in Novosibirsk called Vector is in possession of smallpox and anthrax, as well as more recent pathogens like Ebola. 2 Smallpox had a 30% fatality rate at its peak. Monkeypox is between 1-10% depending on the strain and care available. The COVID SARS 2 R0 is 8. Monkeypox's R naught is less than 1 (average) so far. R0 is the average number of people who will contract a disease from one person with that disease. Although it's rare, if you have swollen lymph nodes, fever, headaches, pustules, puss filled blisters, or lesions on your hands and feet, extremities, and face you should probably head to the ER... Monkeypox is transmitted by bodily fluids. It is not an airborne virus like COVID, monkeypox is also a DNA virus so it doesn't mutate easily. The virus is mostly carried by rodents. In 2003 USA had a monkeypox outbreak in Illinois after an import of rodents from Ghana. What's different now is so many cases without a clear prime source. Rarely, monkeypox makes away from it's endemic areas in Nigeria, Ghana, and Congo. When it does,outbreaks are usually in the single digits, not this time. On May 20th confirmed cases were in the US, UK, Spain, and Portugal. As we record on May 24, monkeypox is in all NATO countries plus a few. Those first affected were men who have sex with men. It is important to not stigmatize any group of people. Early narratives about a disease can become lore. And narratives turned stigma can stop people from reporting symptoms. Stigma and disinformation is exactly what evangelical Republicans and the Russian orthodox church will likely do, though. We discuss Russian experiments with Marburg, Ebola, bubonic plague, anthrax, HIV, and camelpox. Catherine the Great was the first Russian vaccinated for smallpox, and all these years later this outbreak has the stocks of companies with an interest in vaccines like TPOXX and TEMBEXA such as Siga, Tonix Pharmaceuticals, Emergent BioSolutions, and Bavarian Nordic soaring. We discuss Vektor Labs in Koltsovo, Siberia (as well as its predecessor, Biopreparat) where Putin's doctors work on the latest vaccines... they say... maybe also bioweapons. Ilya Drozdov was in charge of Vector, but he's now the world's most famous missing scientist, either accidentally or on purpose. If there is still a Russian bioweapons program they're in volation of the Biological Weapons Convention. Vector is the second largest such facility in the world behind the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. Our Russian bioweapons history knowledge mostly comes from defector Ken Alibek who testified about his time in Russian bioweapons research before Congress. 1. Mary G.

Seth Lederman is a physician, scientist and founder and executive officer of innovative biopharmaceuticals companies. Prior to founding Tonix, among the companies Dr. Lederman founded was Targent Pharmaceuticals, which developed late-stage oncology drugs, including pure-isomer levofolinic acid (levoleucovorin). Targent’s assets were sold to Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, which marketed levoleucovorin as Fusilev® for advanced colorectal cancer, where it gained significant market acceptance. Dr. Lederman served as an Associate Professor at Columbia University from 1996 until April 13, 2017. He joined the faculty of Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1985, became Assistant Professor of Medicine in 1988, and Associate Professor with tenure in 1996 and Director of the Laboratory of Molecular Immunology in 1997. From 1988 to 2002, Dr. Lederman directed basic science research at Columbia in molecular immunology, infectious diseases and the development of therapeutics for autoimmune diseases. Dr. Lederman is author of numerous scientific articles, and inventor of technologies recognized by a number of issued patents. His fundamental work on the CD40-Ligand (CD154) elucidated the molecular basis of T cell helper function and has led to the development of therapeutic candidates for autoimmune diseases and organ transplant rejection in collaboration with Biogen and UCB. The successful defense of his CD154 patents has led to important precedents in defining the relationship of therapeutics and molecular targets. In collaboration with Prof. David Baltimore (then at Rockefeller University and later MIT), Dr. Lederman identified and functionally characterized the CD40 signaling molecule, TRAF-3. His early work on HIV contributed to the understanding of how the V3 loop of HIV gp120 was involved in fusion with CD4 cell membranes, an early and essential event in viral entry and infection. In addition to his research, Dr. Lederman served as attending physician in the Edward Daniels Arthritis and Autoimmunity Clinic on the Medical Service at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital from 1988-1996. Dr. Lederman represented U.S. Biotechnology at a Beijing Summit in September 2015 with China’s President Xi Jinping. The Summit was organized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and involved a delegation of U.S. CEOs, former U.S. Cabinet officials and leading academic experts. Dr. Lederman earned an AB from Princeton in Chemistry cum laude in 1979 and an MD from Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1983. Dr. Lederman trained in internal medicine and rheumatology at Columbia's Presbyterian Hospital. He was an NIH Physician-Scientist 1985-1990 at Columbia.
