About Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.
Tonix develops innovative prescription medicines for common disorders of the central nervous system that represent new treatment paradigms. Fibromyalgia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and episodic tension-type headache are characterized by inadequate treatment options, dissatisfaction among patients and physicians, and significant economic impact. Tonix is currently conducting the first potentially pivotal trial of TNX-102 SL in fibromyalgia, the BESTFIT trial (BEdtime Sublingual TNX-102 SL as Fibromyalgia Intervention Therapy). Tonix expects to begin a Phase 2 trial of TNX-102 SL in PTSD, the AtEase Trial, in the fourth quarter of 2014. Tonix designed TNX-102 SL to target non-restorative or disturbed sleep in a chronic bedtime treatment regimen as a means of decreasing pain and other symptoms in fibromyalgia and improving PTSD symptoms. Tonix's second clinical stage investigational new drug, TNX-201, is in development for episodic tension-type headache, and Tonix expects to begin clinical studies of TNX-201 in the first quarter of 2015.
