Tonix Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: TNXP) has received its first payment from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) under a contract worth up to $34 million over five years. The funding aims to develop broad-spectrum antiviral agents for protecting military personnel in biological threat environments. This non-dilutive funding supports Tonix's ongoing research to advance its antiviral discovery program.
The contract will accelerate the development of Tonix's broad-spectrum antiviral program, focusing on phosphatase inhibitors targeting CD45. The company plans to optimize lead compounds for therapeutic intervention against biothreat agents. Tonix will utilize its research facilities, including a Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) lab at its research and development center in Frederick, Md., to carry out this work.
Tonix Pharmaceuticals has submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA for TNX-102 SL, a non-opioid, centrally-acting analgesic for fibromyalgia. The NDA is based on two successful Phase 3 studies showing statistically significant pain reduction. TNX-102 SL has been granted Fast Track designation by the FDA, potentially expediting the review process.
Key points:
- TNX-102 SL could be the first new drug for fibromyalgia in over 15 years
- It targets non-restorative sleep characteristic of fibromyalgia
- The drug was generally well-tolerated in clinical trials
- Fibromyalgia affects more than 10 million adults in the U.S., mostly women
- If approved, TNX-102 SL would be the first in a new class of analgesic drugs for fibromyalgia
The company expects an FDA decision on approval in 2025, pending acceptance of the NDA for review.

Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:TNXP) is developing TNX-801, a promising single-dose mpox vaccine candidate that aligns with the World Health Organization's (WHO) preferred target product profile. TNX-801 shows potential advantages over current FDA-approved vaccines Jynneos and ACAM2000, including better tolerability, single-dose protection, and suitability for immunocompromised individuals. The vaccine has demonstrated efficacy against the new, more lethal Clade I mpox strain in preclinical trials. TNX-801's lyophilized version can be stable at ambient temperatures, making it more accessible in regions with cold-chain infrastructure. Tonix has partnered with Bilthoven Biologics to scale up production, potentially enabling global distribution to address the urgent need for a safer, more effective mpox vaccine.
