Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. reported Phase 1 results and next-step plans for TNX-4800, a long-acting monoclonal antibody being developed to prevent Lyme disease. The single-dose subcutaneous treatment is designed to offer about four months of protection for people in Lyme-endemic U.S. regions.

The Phase 1 trial enrolled 44 healthy adults, with 41 completing, and showed TNX-4800 was generally safe and well tolerated across doses from 0.5 to 10 mg/kg, with most side effects mild or moderate. Pharmacokinetic data showed rapid absorption, long half-life of roughly two to three months, and serum levels remaining measurable for up to 12 months.

Based on these data, Tonix plans a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, adaptive Phase 2 field study using a fixed 350 mg dose. The primary goal is to test whether TNX-4800 prevents the first occurrence of confirmed Lyme disease over the four months after dosing, with a key secondary endpoint at six months. The company expects GMP clinical material in early 2027 and aims to start Phase 2 in the first half of 2027, pending FDA clearance, with a potential controlled human infection model study in 2028.

Insights

Tonix advances TNX-4800 from supportive Phase 1 data into a planned Phase 2 Lyme disease prevention study.

Tonix Pharmaceuticals is progressing TNX-4800, a long-acting anti‑OspA monoclonal antibody, on the back of a 44‑subject Phase 1 trial showing acceptable safety and extended exposure. Mean half‑life of about 62–69 days supports a single seasonal dose concept.

The company selected a fixed 350 mg subcutaneous dose for Phase 2, targeting blood levels comparable to the 5 mg/kg Phase 1 cohort, which achieved around 10 μg/mL at four months, near the nonclinical Minimum Effective Concentration estimates. The planned randomized, double‑blind, placebo‑controlled adaptive design focuses on preventing first confirmed Lyme disease cases between Day 3 and Month 4.

Nonclinical work showed up to 95% protection in non‑human primates and durable exposure, but human efficacy is unproven. Execution now depends on timely FDA clearance, manufacturing GMP material expected in early 2027, and enrolling at‑risk individuals aged 16–65 in endemic U.S. regions. Subsequent disclosures on Phase 2 initiation and design details will shape how central TNX‑4800 becomes to the company’s broader CNS and immunology portfolio.

Tonix Pharmaceuticals Announces Presentation of Phase 1 Data and Outlines Planned Adaptive Phase 2 Field Study of TNX-4800 for the Prevention of Lyme Disease, at the World Vaccine Congress Washington 2026

 

TNX-4800 is a long-acting anti-Borrelia burgdorferi OspA human monoclonal antibody in development as a single-dose Lyme prophylactic

 

Phase 1 study of TNX-4800 demonstrated safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics supportive of approximately four months protection

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (“Tonix” or the “Company”), a fully integrated, commercial biotechnology company, announced Phase 1 data of TNX-4800 (formerly known as mAb 2217LS)1,2 was presented by Mark S. Klempner, MD, professor of medicine at UMass Chan Medical School, an inventor of TNX-4800 and principal investigator of the study, on March 30, 2026, at the World Vaccine Congress Washington 2026. Tonix also announced its planned strategy for an adaptive Phase 2 field study expected to initiate in the first half of 2027, pending FDA clearance.

 

TNX-4800 is a long-acting borreliacidal (or bactericidal), human monoclonal antibody (mAb) with an engineered crystallizable fragment (Fc) domain for an extended half-life that targets the outer surface protein A (OspA) of Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes 99.9% of Lyme disease cases in the U.S.3,4 Tonix is developing TNX-4800, which the Company in-licensed from UMass Chan Medical School in 2025, as a prophylactic that is administered in a single subcutaneous (SC) dose expected to provide approximately four months protection to people in endemic areas during the U.S. tick season. There are currently no marketed U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved vaccines or prophylactics to protect against Lyme disease.

 

“TNX-4800 is expected to provide a preventative option to the 87 million5 people in the United States who are at high risk of contracting the disease because they live, work, or vacation in a tick-endemic area,” said Seth Lederman, MD, Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “As a monoclonal antibody, we believe TNX-4800 offers significant advantages over vaccines in development. Lyme disease vaccines that elicit antibodies to OspA currently in development take more than six months to offer protection and require complex immunization schedules. A previously approved anti-OspA vaccine was withdrawn due to poor uptake,6 potentially relating to its complex immunization schedule.”

 

Dr. Lederman continued, “TNX-4800, targeting Borrelia burgdorferi, the serotype that causes 99.9% of Lyme disease in the U.S., is a single dose subcutaneous administration that potentially offers immunity within two days for a duration of approximately four months. We believe TNX-4800’s differentiating characteristics could offer meaningful improvements for people seeking protection from Lyme disease. We believe the Phase 1 pharmacokinetic (PK) data support our plan to conduct an adaptive field study in the first half of 2027, pending FDA clearance, in which protection at four months is the primary endpoint, and protection at six months is a key secondary endpoint.”

 

 
 

 

 

Phase 1 Results

 

“Our study demonstrated potentially protective blood levels of TNX-4800 at two days, with protective blood levels sustained for at least four months due to its extended half-life design,” said Dr. Klempner. “Additionally, with its differentiated mechanism of action, TNX-4800 has the potential to provide passive immunity by directly supplying neutralizing antibodies, bypassing the need for a vaccine to induce a patient’s immune system to generate its own antibodies, which can be associated with other issues. We look forward to further clinical investigation of TNX-4800 as we strive to overcome this major public health challenge.”

 

The primary objective of the Phase 1 study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a SC injection of TNX-4800 when administered to healthy male and female subjects ages 19-65 years old. The secondary objective was to evaluate the PK of a SC dose of TNX-4800 when administered to healthy subjects. 44 subjects were enrolled, with 41 subjects completing the study. Subjects received a single SC administration of placebo or TNX-4800 at 0.5, 1.5, 5, or 10 mg/kg.

Results showed no significant clinical or laboratory safety signals, with most adverse events mild or moderate. Peak serum concentration (Cmax) increased by ~25-fold for a 20-times increase in dose. Serum TNX-4800 was measurable at earliest sampling time of two days, indicating rapid systemic absorption. TNX-4800 levels remained quantifiable for >200 days in 80% of subjects at the lowest dose, and for up to 350 days in the majority of subjects at higher doses (i.e., ≥ 1.5 mg/kg). The mean half-life ranged from 62-69 days across TNX-4800 cohorts. Serum concentrations were quantifiable for up to 12 months in most subjects.

·Mean exposure for the 10 mg/kg cohort had <17% of the highest exposures in a nonclinical toxicology study.
·The maximum half-life ranged from 81-104 days, with the 10mg/kg cohort at 97 days and 5mg/kg cohort at 87 days.
·In the 5mg/kg dose cohort, mean serum TNX-4800 concentration was approximately 10 μg/ml at four months, which was approximately twice the minimum effective concentration, or MEC, calculated from in vitro bactericidal activity, and approximately the MEC from in vitro tick-feeding experiments. These data support Tonix’s planned evaluation of protection at four months as the proposed primary endpoint.

Adaptive Phase 2 Field Study Plans

Pending FDA clearance, the Company plans to initiate an adaptive field study in the first half of 2027. TNX-4800 will be studied in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, adaptive Phase 2 field study to evaluate the efficacy of a single SC dose of TNX-4800, 350 mg, in preventing the first occurrence of confirmed Lyme disease during the primary efficacy surveillance period (Day 3 through Month 4 following administration). Based on the Phase 1 PK data, a fixed dose of 350 mg was selected for the Phase 2 field study, which is expected to provide exposures comparable to the 5 mg/kg dose evaluated in Phase 1. Participants will include adolescents and adults 16 to 65 years of age in Lyme-endemic areas in the U.S. The primary endpoint will be the prevention of Lyme disease at four months (comparison of TNX-4800 group and placebo group). A key secondary endpoint will be the prevention of Lyme disease at six months (comparison of TNX-4800 and placebo).

 

 
 

 

The Company expects to have GMP investigational product available for clinical testing in early 2027. Additionally, if necessary and pending FDA clearance, the Company plans to initiate a controlled human infection model (CHIM) study in 2028.

About TNX-4800

TNX-4800 (formerly known as mAb 2217LS) is a long-acting borreliacidal (or bactericidal), human monoclonal antibody with an engineered extended half-life that targets the outer-surface protein A (OspA) on Lyme-causing Borrelia bacteria. 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. The Company in-licensed TNX-4800 from UMass Chan Medical School in 2025. Published work in animals showed that TNX-4800 was 95% effective at preventing infection of non-human primates after six days of exposure to ticks infected with Borrelia burgdorferi.1 TNX-4800 was derived from mAb 2217 by amino acid substitutions in its Fc domain, which serve to prolong the serum half-life. A single administration is designed to potentially provide immunity against Lyme disease within two days and maintain protective antibody levels for approximately four months, without relying on the recipient’s immune system to generate antibodies. TNX-4800 also avoids the multidose priming schedules required for OspA vaccines in development7 and the FDA-approved vaccine that was withdrawn from the market.8 

 

About the TNX-4800 Phase 1 Study

TNX-4800 was studied in a randomized, double-blind, sequential dose-escalation study (NCT04863287) that evaluated safety, tolerability, PK, and immunogenicity of TNX-4800 in healthy adults. 44 subjects were randomized, and 41 completed the study. Subjects received a single 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 two days, 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 17% of the highest exposures in a rat toxicology study. Anti-drug antibodies 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, due in part to global changes in climate expanding the habitat range for ticks.9 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, heart, and 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. 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.10

UMass Chan Medical School Growing Unmet Need: Prevention of Lyme Disease • Lyme disease is the most common tick - borne illness (80% of all tick - borne diseases) in the Northern hemisphere. The CDC estimates over 450,000 cases annually. • Global changes in climate is a factor in the expanding habitat range for ticks and other vectors, indicating the problem is likely to worsen in the coming years. • LYMErix (GSK Vaccine) was FDA approved in 1998 but withdrawn due to low sales amid overhyped fears of vaccine - induced side effects including arthritis. LYMErix elicited active immunity (antibody responses) against outer surface protein A ( OspA ) and demonstrated an efficacy of 78%. • Vaccine hesitancy, now driven mostly by online misinformation, continues to be a headwind for the uptake of new vaccines. We are developing a monoclonal antibody treatment (not a vaccine) for Lyme Disease prevention. A single shot potentially provides protection 2 days after dosing and lasts approximately 4 months 3

FAQ

What did Tonix Pharmaceuticals (TNXP) report about the TNX-4800 Phase 1 trial?

Tonix reported that its Phase 1 trial of TNX-4800 in 44 healthy adults showed the monoclonal antibody was generally safe and well tolerated. Most adverse events were mild or moderate, and drug levels remained measurable for up to 12 months, supporting a long-acting Lyme prophylaxis concept.

How is Tonix’s TNX-4800 designed to prevent Lyme disease for TNXP investors?

TNX-4800 is a long-acting human monoclonal antibody targeting OspA on Borrelia burgdorferi to block transmission within the tick. A single subcutaneous dose is expected to offer roughly four months of protection, providing passive immunity without requiring the patient’s immune system to generate antibodies.

What are the key design features of the planned TNX-4800 Phase 2 study for TNXP?

Tonix plans a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, adaptive Phase 2 field study using a single 350 mg subcutaneous dose. The primary endpoint is prevention of confirmed Lyme disease through four months, with a key secondary endpoint at six months, in participants aged 16–65 in U.S. Lyme-endemic areas.

When could Tonix Pharmaceuticals (TNXP) start the TNX-4800 Phase 2 trial?

Tonix expects to have GMP investigational product available for clinical testing in early 2027. The company aims to initiate the adaptive Phase 2 field study in the first half of 2027, pending U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance of the planned clinical program.

What nonclinical efficacy data support TNX-4800 for Tonix (TNXP)?

In nonclinical studies, TNX-4800 achieved about 95% protection in a non-human primate tick-challenge model at serum levels above roughly 21 μg/mL. Additional in vitro and tick-feeding experiments suggested a Minimum Effective Concentration in the 5–10 μg/mL range, helping define human dosing targets.

How large is the potential U.S. market TNX-4800 targets for TNXP?

Tonix cites research estimating about 87 million people in the United States live, work, or vacation in Lyme-endemic areas. This population experiences rising Lyme disease incidence and currently lacks any FDA-approved vaccines or prophylactic biologics specifically for Lyme disease prevention.
