IMMUNOLOGY PORTFOLIO Non - Human Primate Bone Marrow Transplantation Dr. Leslie Kean 1 , Boston Children’s Hospital/Dana Farber Studying TNX - 1500 in combination with other drugs for preventing rejection and graft versus host disease (GvHD) in bone marrow transplant 2 ‒ Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HCT) from unrelated donors is a component of the treatment protocol for several hematologic malignancies ‒ GvHD complicates treatment and limits the success of engraftment after HCT ‒ To be successful, the post - HCT indication requires prolonged engraftment. ‒ GvHD remains one of the most severe complications associated with HCT. For myeloablative MHC - haploidentical HCT, the risk of GvHD is substantial, and with the most severe form of acute GvHD, as many as half of patients can die from this disease. For these high - risk transplants, there is no fully effective GvHD prevention strategy. ‒ The primary objective of the preclinical research study is to study the activity of TNX - 1500 administered prophylactically to modify GvHD progression in animals after HCT to support an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for human studies Prof. Kean is a leader in the field of NHP bone marrow transplants ‒ Unique model of haplo - identical animals 3 1 The principal investigator is Leslie S.

9 © 2023 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. CNS PORTFOLIO History of Tianeptine and TNX - 601 ER CNS PORTFOLIO • Tianeptine sodium (amorphous) immediate release (IR) tablets have been available in Europe and many countries in Asia and Latin America for the treatment of MDD since it was first marketed in France in 1989. Due to its short half - life, tianeptine sodium IR is taken three times daily, which is challenging for patient adherence. • Currently, there is no tianeptine - containing product approved in the U.S. and no extended - release tianeptine product approved anywhere in the world. • Tonix discovered a novel hemioxalate salt of tianeptine that may provide improved stability, consistency, and manufacturability compared to known salt forms of tianeptine. • TNX - 601 ER is taken once daily, increasing patient adherence and is thereby anticipated to improve the overall effectiveness of treatment compared to that of tianeptine sodium IR.
