Tonix Pharmaceuticals CEO Dr. Seth Lederman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss promising topline results from the company's Phase 1, single ascending dose trial of TNX-1500 in healthy participants.
The trial evaluated safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of intravenous TNX-1500 and was designed to support dosing for an upcoming Phase 2 trial in kidney transplant recipients.
Two published studies in the American Journal of Transplantation demonstrated that TNX-1500 can prevent rejection, prolong survival, and preserve graft function in non-human primate renal and heart allografts, either as a single agent or in combination with other therapies.
Dr. Lederman shared that Phase 1 results showed TNX-1500 at 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg doses effectively blocked both primary and secondary antibody responses to a test antigen. Pharmacokinetic data suggest that monthly dosing at 10 mg/kg or higher could be effective. These findings reinforce the company’s confidence in TNX-1500’s potential to prevent organ transplant rejection and improve graft survival with a lower long-term toxicity burden compared to existing immunosuppressive therapies.
Tonix plans to present these results to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in an End-of-Phase 1 meeting. Pending FDA alignment, the company will move forward with a Phase 2 efficacy study in kidney transplant recipients.
