Recurring updates also cover Tonix’s development pipeline, including TNX-4800, a long-acting anti-Borrelia OspA human monoclonal antibody for Lyme disease prophylaxis; TNX-1900 intranasal potentiated oxytocin for craniofacial pain conditions; TNX-1700 and TNX-4700 immuno-oncology programs; TNX-801 vaccine research; and TNX-1500 for prevention of kidney transplant rejection. Other company developments include scientific presentations, clinical and preclinical data, commercial access arrangements, operating results, capital-structure disclosures and governance matters.
Tonix Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:TNXP) has published positive preclinical data in Cancer Cell journal regarding mTNX-1700, their experimental cancer treatment. The study demonstrated that combining mTNX-1700 with anti-PD1 antibody therapy significantly improved survival rates and reduced metastases in gastric cancer animal models.
The research showed that mTNX-1700, a fusion protein combining murine trefoil factor-2 (mTFF2) and murine serum albumin (MSA), effectively reduces immunosuppressive neutrophils and enhances anti-tumor immune responses. The human version, TNX-1700, is currently in preclinical development for gastric and colorectal cancers.
Key findings revealed that the combination therapy successfully shrank primary tumors, reduced liver and lung metastases, and activated cancer-killing CD8+ T cells while limiting neutrophil-mediated immune evasion.
Tonix Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: TNXP) announced its inclusion in the broad-market Russell 3000® Index and small-cap Russell 2000® Index, effective June 30, 2025. This addition comes as part of the 2025 Russell indexes reconstitution, which captures the 4,000 largest US stocks based on market capitalization rankings as of April 30.
The company is currently awaiting an FDA decision on TNX-102 SL for fibromyalgia management, with a PDUFA date of August 15, 2025. The FDA has granted Fast Track designation for this candidate. Additionally, Tonix has secured a contract worth up to $34 million over five years with the U.S. DoD's Defense Threat Reduction Agency for TNX-4200, a broad-spectrum antiviral agent.
Tonix's commercial subsidiary, Tonix Medicines, currently markets Zembrace® SymTouch® and Tosymra® for acute migraine treatment. The company's development portfolio includes various candidates targeting CNS disorders, immunology, and infectious diseases, with a state-of-the-art infectious disease research facility in Frederick, Md.
Tonix Pharmaceuticals presented promising preclinical data for gastric cancer treatment at the AACR 2025 Annual Meeting in Chicago. The research focused on a combination therapy using TFF2 with anti-PD1 antibody, showing positive results in activating cancer-killing CD8+ T cells.
The study demonstrated that TFF2-MSA, when combined with anti-PD1 antibody, effectively reduces immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment. The company is developing TNX-1700 (TFF2-HAS) as their lead immuno-oncology program.
Key findings revealed that TFF2-MSA selectively reduces immunosuppressive neutrophils and cancer-driven granulopoiesis. The research also identified a potential negative correlation between TFF2 and PMN-MDSCs levels in gastric cancer patients, suggesting therapeutic potential for treating gastric and colorectal cancers.
