NEW YORK, May 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq:TNXP) (Tonix), a company that is developing innovative pharmaceutical products to address public health challenges, recently announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
“Beginning enrollment in the first quarter of 2017 of the Phase 3 HONOR study of TNX-102 SL* for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was an important milestone for Tonix,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., president and chief executive officer of Tonix. “We remain on track with our previously-disclosed guidance for reporting results next year, and are pleased to note that this pivotal study is fully funded through completion. If the topline data from the HONOR study are statistically persuasive, we can file a new drug application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking approval for TNX-102 SL for PTSD. PTSD affects approximately 8.6 million Americans, nearly 1 million of whom are military veterans. Patients with military-related PTSD experience severe symptoms, and currently-approved drugs have not shown efficacy in these patients, creating an urgent need for a new therapeutic approach.”
