Tonix Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing therapeutics for central nervous system disorders, immunology and rare diseases. The company’s pipeline includes small-molecule and biologic product candidates designed to address conditions such as fibromyalgia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other chronic pain syndromes, as well as vaccines for potential viral and biothreat agents.
Among Tonix’s lead programs is TNX-102 SL, a sublingual formulation of cyclobenzaprine being evaluated for the treatment of fibromyalgia and PTSD. The company is conducting late-stage clinical trials to assess safety and efficacy in people who experience chronic pain and disrupted sleep due to these conditions. In addition to its CNS portfolio, Tonix is advancing live-virus vaccine candidates against orthopoxviruses, including those that could be used for smallpox or monkeypox, and is exploring development of vaccines against other biothreat agents.
Headquartered in New York, Tonix Pharmaceuticals leverages in-house research and collaborations with academic institutions and government agencies to advance its pipeline. The company was co-founded and is led by Seth H. Lederman, M.D., who serves as President and Chief Executive Officer. Under Dr. Lederman’s direction, Tonix continues to progress multiple programs through clinical development while maintaining a focus on unmet medical needs in both therapeutic and vaccine arenas.
