Tonix Pharmaceuticals Announces IND Clearance by the FDA for Phase 2 Trial of TNX-2900 for the Treatment of Prader-Willi Syndrome, the Most Common Genetic Cause of Life-Threatening Childhood Obesity

TNX-2900 is a proprietary magnesium-potentiated formulation of intranasal oxytocin, a naturally occurring hormone that reduces appetite and eating

Preclinical data show magnesium-potentiation increases the potency of exogenous oxytocin

Formulations of intranasal oxytocin without magnesium have reported inconsistent results in clinical trials of Prader Willi Syndrome1,2

CHATHAM, N.J., December 4, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP), a biopharmaceutical company with marketed products and a pipeline of development candidates, today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the Investigational New Drug (IND) application to support clinical development of TNX-2900 (intranasal potentiated oxytocin), a proprietary magnesium (Mg2+)-enhanced formulation of intranasal oxytocin, to treat Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) in children and adolescents. TNX-2900 for the treatment of PWS was granted Orphan Drug designation by the FDA in 2022.

The Phase 2 study approved by the IND is a dose-finding study involving approximately 36 PWS patients divided into four groups with approximately nine PWS patients per group. One group will receive placebo and three groups will receive different dosage regimens of TNX-2900. Tonix intends to seek a partner to advance TNX-2900 for PWS in clinical development.

“We are pleased that TNX-2900 is cleared for clinical studies for the treatment of PWS in children and adolescents as there remains a significant need for new therapies, particularly for PWS hyperphagia, which currently has no approved treatments,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “PWS is the most common genetic cause of life-threatening childhood obesity.3,4 We believe adding Mg2+ to the formulation has the potential to improve intranasal oxytocin’s therapeutic action.”

The IND application for TNX-2900 was supported by preclinical data demonstrating that Mg2+ enhances the potency of oxytocin. Oxytocin is a naturally-occurring hormone that reduces appetite and eating and regulates hunger, anxiety and prosocial behavior. PWS is a genetic disorder associated with abnormalities of the oxytocin system5. Several previous clinical studies in PWS of intranasal oxytocin without Mg2+-potentiation have shown trends toward improvement, but the results have been inconsistent.1,2 Tonix believes that Mg2+-potentiation of intranasal oxytocin in PWS may improve consistency in clinical trials because in animal studies Mg2+-potentiation appears to eliminate the high-dose suppression of oxytocin’s inverted “U”-shaped dose response.6

Gregory Sullivan, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals added, “Recent reports show Mg2+ is necessary for oxytocin to fully activate the oxytocin receptor.3,6 Oxytocin has potent effects in adult mice correcting behavioral characteristics of the Magel2 knock-out mouse model for PWS and autism.4 Oxytocin has many potential therapeutic roles in reducing appetite, eating, weight, migraine pain and autistic spectrum behaviors. Tonix recently completed enrollment in a Phase 2 study of TNX-1900, a related Mg2+-potentiated intranasal oxytocin candidate, for the prevention of migraine headaches, and is also studying TNX-1900 through external collaborations for the treatment of obesity in adolescents, binge eating disorder, bone health in autism, and social anxiety disorder.”

  


About Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS)

PWS is recognized as the most common genetic cause of life-threatening childhood obesity and affects males and females with equal frequency and all races and ethnicities. PWS results from the absence of expression of a group of genes on the paternally acquired chromosome 15. The hallmarks of PWS are lack of suckling in newborns and, in children and adolescents, severe hyperphagia, an overriding physiological drive to eat, leading to severe obesity and other complications associated with significant mortality. A systematic review of the morbidity and mortality as a consequence of hyperphagia in PWS found that the average age of death in PWS was 22.1 years.7 There is no approved medication to treat poor feeding in newborns or hyperphagia in children and adolescents with PWS. Given these serious or life-threatening manifestations of these conditions, there is a critical need for effective treatments to decrease morbidity and mortality, improve quality of life, and increase life expectancy in people with PWS. Oxytocin has potent effects in adult mice correcting behavioral characteristics of the Magel2 knock-out mouse model for PWS and autism.4 In addition, oxytocin has potent effects in correcting behavioral characteristics of the neonatal Magel2 knock-out mouse model for PWS and autism8 and intriguing effects in a clinical trial of neonates with PWS.9

About TNX-2900 and Tonix’s Potentiated Oxytocin Platform

TNX-2900 is based on Tonix’s patented intranasal potentiated oxytocin formulation intended for use by adults and adolescents. Tonix’s patented potentiated oxytocin formulation is believed to increase specificity for oxytocin receptors relative to vasopressin receptors as well as to enhance the potency of oxytocin. Tonix is also developing a different intranasal formulation, designated TNX-1900, for prophylaxis of chronic migraine as well as for adolescent obesity, binge eating disorder, bone health in autism and social anxiety disorder. Oxytocin is a naturally occurring human hormone that acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain. Oxytocin is believed to be more than 600 million years old and is present in vertebrates including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish.10,11 It was originally approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Pitocin®*, an intravenous infusion or intramuscular injection drug, for use in pregnant women to induce labor. An intranasal formulation of oxytocin is marketed in some European countries to assist in the production of breast milk as Syntocinon®** (oxytocin nasal 40 units/ml). *Pitocin® is a trademark of Par Pharmaceutical, Inc.

Exhibit 99.02

 

 

 

The Enantiomer (R)-Tianeptine, but not (S)-Tianeptine, is an Agonist on the μ-Opioid Receptor and Decreases Immobility in the Murine Forced Swim Test Darryl Rideout1, David T. Hsu1*, Luciana M. Leo2, Sam R. J. Hoare2, Alexis Zajicek3, Taleen Hanania3, Siobhan Fogarty1, Bruce Daugherty1, Seth Lederman1, Gregory Sullivan1 1Tonix Pharmaceuticals Inc, 2Montana Molecular LLC, 3PsychoGenics Inc Tianeptine sodium (trade name Stablon®) is an approved antidepressant in Europe, Asia, and Latin America, but is not approved in the US for any indication. Tianeptine’s antidepressant efficacy is well established, however its mechanism of action is not completely understood. Tianeptine was discovered to have weak agonist activity at the μ-opioid receptor (MOR) [1] and reduce immobility in the murine forced swim test (FST) [2], an animal model for behavioral “despair.” Tianeptine is a racemic drug composed of a 1:1 mixture of two enantiomers (mirror image isomers): Methods Summary & Conclusions Z Citations & Disclosures Presented at American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) 62nd Annual Meeting, Tampa, FL December 3-6, 2023; Poster Session 1, Poster M128, Monday, Dec 4th, 5:00 PM-7:00 PM EST www.tonixpharma.com (S)-Tianeptine (R)-Tianeptine Previous studies have shown that both enantiomers are biologically active and may have differential effects [3,4], however those studies did not report their chiral purity, and did not examine their differential effects on the MOR or in an animal model of depression. In the present study, we isolated and compared the activity of (R)- and (S)-tianeptine at the MOR using G-protein coupled receptor signaling via cAMP inhibition and ββ-arrestin recruitment and compared their effects of each on immobility in the FST. Establishing differential activity of (R)- vs. (S)-tianeptine at the MOR may serve to elucidate and differentiate tianeptine’s unique antidepressant mechanism from its potential abuse liability due to activity at the MOR. Drugs Racemic tianeptine sodium and hemioxalate were obtained from (Chemo Iberica, Madrid, Spain). Racemic tianeptine was separated into (R)- and (S)-tianeptine using chiral supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) (X-Chem, Waltham, MA). Chiral purities for in vitro assays using (R)- and (S)-tianeptine are shown in Figs. 2 & 3. [D-Ala2, NMe-Phe4, Gly-ol5]-enkephalin (DAMGO) (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI) served as a positive control for the in vitro assays. Chiral purities for the behavioral studies were >99.9% enantiomeric excess (e.e.) for (R)-tianeptine sodium and >99.9% e.e. for (S)-tianeptine sodium. Sertraline (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) served as a positive control in the behavioral study. MOR assays in vitro MOR activation was assessed with fluorescent biosensors measuring cyclic adenosine 3,5-monophosphate (cAMP) inhibition and ββ-arrestin recruitment in HEK293T cells. Concentrations of the compounds ranged from 0.001 nM to 31620 nM. Concentration-response curves were generated and EC50 values were determined. Detailed information on the protocol for this assay can be obtained from Montana Molecular (https://montanamolecular.com/). Forced Swim Test Animals: Male BalbC/J mice (8 weeks of age; Jackson Laboratories, Bar Harbor, ME) were group-housed with chow and water provided ad libitum and maintained on a 12h/12h light/dark schedule. Mice were acclimated to the vivarium for 1 week prior to testing. Each mouse was randomly assigned to a treatment group (n = 10 per group) and testing was performed during the light phase. All behavioral studies were conducted at PsychoGenics, Inc. (Paramus, NJ). Protocols were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee in accordance with the National Institute of Health Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Behavioral Testing: Following i.p. administration of drug, animals were placed in holding cages for 60 min for racemic, (R)-, and (S)-tianeptine sodium, or 30 min for sertraline, prior to the Forced Swim Test (FST). All drugs were dissolved in saline with a dose volume of 10 ml/kg. Each animal was placed in an opaque cylinder (1000 ml) containing fresh tap water 12 cm deep. Time immobile was recorded over one 6-min session by an observer unaware of treatment conditions. Between groups analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted followed by Dunnett’s post-hoc test. An effect was considered significant at P < 0.05. Total Time Immobile (sec) Figure 3. Dose response of (A) racemic, (B) (R)-tianeptine, and (C) (S)-tianeptine on immobility in the FST. Data are mean + s.e.m. for 10 mice/group. *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001 ➢ In vitro, (R)-tianeptine showed MOR agonism similar to that observed with racemic tianeptine, whereas (S)-tianeptine was devoid of MOR agonist activity. ➢ In the mouse FST, (R)-tianeptine significantly reduced immobility similar to that observed with racemic tianeptine, whereas (S)-tianeptine did not reduce immobility at any dose tested. The results suggest that (R)-tianeptine, and not (S)-tianeptine, is responsible for the MOR-mediated effects of racemic tianeptine, including reduced immobility in the FST in mice. It has been proposed that tianeptine’s antidepressant mechanism is dependent its activity on the MOR [2,5], however the relatively high acute doses required for these effects (10 or 30 mg/kg) can induce hyperlocomotion [2,6], which could explain reduced immobility in the FST. Other MOR agonists, such as morphine, have also been shown to reduce immobility in the FST [7,8]. In addition, there are limitations for the use of i.p. tianeptine in mice as a model for p.o. tianeptine in humans.When administered i.p. in mice, <1% of peak tianeptine remains in plasma 1 hour after peak plasma concentration [2] compared to >70% for p.o. tianeptine in humans [9]. In the mouse, nearly all of the tianeptine was metabolized to MC5 by the time the FST studies began [2], suggesting that these mouse models are testing MC5 rather than tianeptine.

Differential Effects of Enantiomers (S)- and (R)-Tianeptine on Neurite Outgrowth and Mitochondrial Activity in Cultured Glutamatergic Neurons Authors^: Herbert Harris, David Hsu*, Bruce Daugherty, Siobhan Fogarty, Darryl Rideout, Sina Bavari, Annabelle Iserson, Seth Lederman, Gregory Sullivan ^Tonix Pharmaceuticals Inc, *Presenter Introduction ➢ In animal models of stress to the brain, tianeptine has unique neuroprotective and neurorestorative effects, including restoration of neuroplasticity in key learning and memory regions such as hippocampus1 ➢ Racemic tianeptine is a 50:50 mixture of (S)- and (R)-enantiomers ➢ We have previously reported that the (S)-isomer is a PPAR-ββ/δ agonist, whereas the (R)-isomer is a weak μ–opioid receptor agonist; both isomers have agonist activity at PPAR-γγ2 ➢ Tianeptine’s neurorestorative and pro-cognitive effects are potentially explained by its activity on the PPAR system where it acts intracellularly, activating transcription factors ➢ The presented studies assessed the effects of the (S)- and (R)-isomers on in vitro plastogenic (i.e., connectivity-enhancing) activity in cultured human iPSC-derived glutamatergic neurons and in vivo in the rat Novel Object Recognition test Methods Results Conclusions In Vitro Neurite Outgrowth Assay: iCell Glutaneurons (Fujifilm CDI) were seeded, and on day 5 (D5) in culture, cells were treated with (R)- and (S)-tianeptine (0.1, 1, and 10 μM each), dexamethasone (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 μM), and matrixed concentrations of dexamethasone doses (R)- and (S)-tianeptine doses. Treatments refreshed on D7. On D9, plates treated for 24 hrs with staurosporine (0.02, 0.063, 0.2, and 0.63 μM), an inhibitor of ATP binding to protein kinases, and vincristine (0.2, 2, and 20 μM), a microtubule inhibitor. At 22 hours post-staurosporine and vincristine treatment, plates were treated with FCCP (6.2 and 62 μM), an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, for 2 hrs. MitoTracker CMXRos (Thermo Fisher Scientific) added 45 min prior to end of treatment period; plates fixed at treatment endpoint.

Image analysis performed using Neuronal Profiling protocol in HCS Studio Cellomics, v6.6.2. In Vivo Novel Object Recognition (NOR) Test: Adult male Long-Evans rats (275-299 g) assessed for recognition memory in an open-field arena (40 x 40 cm) under dimmed lighting. On Day 1 (D1) & D2, rats allowed to freely explore empty arena for 10-min habituation. On D3, rats (n=16/group) received intraperitoneal injections of saline (vehicle), galantamine (1 mg/kg) as a positive control, racemic, (S)- and (R)-tianeptine (3, 10, and 30 mg/kg).(R)- and (S)-tianeptine possessed a chiral purity of >99%. Test compounds administered 30 min prior to testing for saline and galantamine; 60 min prior for racemic, (S)- and (R)-tianeptine. Rats placed in test arena in presence of two identical objects, each placed facing same direction at same position. Time spent actively exploring objects during a 3-min training session (T1) video recorded.After 48 hrs, rats administered test compounds again and placed in test arena in presence of one familiar and one novel object. Time spent exploring each object recorded for 5 min in testing session (T2). T1 & T2 scored by an observer blind to treatments. Presentation order and object positions (left/right) in T2 randomized to prevent bias from order or place preference. Recognition Index (RI) was primary endpoint, defined as ratio of time spent exploring novel object divided by total time spent exploring both objects [(Novel / (Familiar + Novel)) × 100%] during the 5 min T2. RI value of 50% suggests no memory of familiar object. Data analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post hoc. Study approved by IACUC in accordance with National Institute for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. In Vivo Plastogenic Activity of (S)-Tianeptine on Memory in the Novel Object Recognition Test: a Model Relevant to Neurodegenerative Conditions Including Alzheimer’s Disease ➢ (S)-tianeptine significantly stimulates all metrics of neurite outgrowth and mitochondrial staining in an in vitro assay of plastogenic effects in cultured human glutamatergic neuron; dexamethasone in this assay system is also stimulatory of neurite outgrowth and has additive or synergistic activity with (S)-tianeptine ➢ (R)-tianeptine, previously reported to be the enantiomer of tianeptine with all μ-opioid receptor activity, does not stimulate neurite outgrowth and reduces the stimulatory effects so dexamethasone, suggesting some level of anti-plastogenic activity ➢ In vivo exploration of plastogenic activity of the enantiomers in a test of memory relevant to pathology in Alzheimer’s disease, the Novel Object Recognition (NOR) test, indicates (S)-tianeptine enhances learning and memory in the lower doses tested, 3 and 10 mg/kg, with a potential inverted-U shaped dose response suggested at 30 mg/kg ➢ In contrast, (R)-tianeptine did not significantly enhance memory on the NOR at 3 mg/kg, although the trend for an increase in the RI at 10 mg/kg may suggest minor activity in this system, possibly due to PPAR-γ effects ➢ The nature of the toxic effects on behaviors and reflexes at 30 mg/kg of (R)-tianeptine are potentially suggestive of an adverse impact resulting from its demonstrated activity on the μ-opioid receptor ➢ The robust in vitro and in vivo plastogenic effects of (S)-tianeptine suggest potential development of (S)-tianeptine as a new chemical entity for the treatment in neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and traumatic brain injury Citations & Disclosures ^ The authors are all employees of Tonix Pharmaceuticals and own stock and/or stock options in the company. 1 McEwen BS, et al.

American Society for Clinical Psychopharmacology Annual Meeting, Poster T41 presented 1 June 2023, Miami, FL Results Morphometric image analysis of glutamatergic neurons cultured for 10 days demonstrated: • (S)-tianeptine significantly increased all metrics of neurite outgrowth including neurite length (see Fig 1A), width, area, count, staining intensity and branching (p<0.05 in all cases); and (S)-tianeptine significantly increased mitochondrial (Mito) staining in neurite processes (p<0.05; see Fig 1B), and produced no changes in cell body Mito staining (data not shown) • (R)-tianeptine is without significant changes in neurite metrics (ex. Length in Fig 2A) except moderate increase in neurite count at 1.0 μM concentration; and (R)-tianeptine without effect on Mito staining in neurite processes, and significantly decreased cell body Mito staining (see Fig 2B) Presented at American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) 62nd Annual Meeting, Tampa, FL December 3-6, 2023;
