[{"type":"text","content":"Results from Planned Interim Analysis of First 50 Percent of Participants Expected Second Quarter 2023 Topline Results Expected Fourth Quarter 2023 Positive Outcome in RESILIENT, Together with Results from Previous Positive Phase 3 RELIEF Study, Would Support Submission of an NDA CHATHAM, N.J., Dec. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (Tonix or the Company), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that the first 50% of participants have been randomized in the Phase 3 RESILIENT study of TNX-102 SL (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) 5.6 mg for the management of fibromyalgia. An interim analysis by an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) of the first 50% of randomized participants for a potential sample size adjustment or early stop for futility is expected in the second quarter of 2023. TNX-102 SL is in mid-Phase 3 development for the management of fibromyalgia, a chronic pain disorder that afflicts between 6 and 12 million adults in the U.S., of which 90 percent are women. Despite dissatisfaction with currently marketed products, no new treatment for fibromyalgia has been approved by the FDA since 2009. In December 2020, Tonix reported positive results from the first Phase 3 study (RELIEF) of TNX-102 SL 5.6 mg for the management of fibromyalgia (primary endpoint, p=0.010). Several secondary measures in RELIEF highlighted the broad effects of TNX-102 SL across several cardinal symptoms of fibromyalgia beyond pain. In March 2022, Tonix reported results of a subsequent Phase 3 study (RALLY) in which TNX-102 SL did not achieve statistical significance on the primary endpoint (p=0.115). Relative to the previous positive Phase 3 study (RELIEF), RALLY had an unexpected increase in study participant adverse event-related discontinuations in both the drug and placebo groups. TNX-102 SL was generally well tolerated in both studies with an adverse event profile comparable to prior studies, and no new safety signals observed. “We are pleased to have reached this important milestone in our ongoing development of TNX-102 SL for fibromyalgia. RESILIENT is a potentially pivotal and confirmatory Phase 3 study, and we look forward to the IDMC's assessment of interim results in the second quarter of 2023,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmac...
