Exhibit 99.01
Tonix Pharmaceuticals Selects EVERSANA®
to Support Launch Strategy and Commercialization Planning of Tonmya™ for the Management of Fibromyalgia
Tonmya is a potential new first-line, centrally
acting non-opioid analgesic for the management of fibromyalgia, supported by statistically significant results from two Phase 3 trials
New Drug Application (NDA) submission to the
FDA planned for the second half of 2024
CHATHAM, N.J., March 6, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
-- Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (Tonix or the Company), a biopharmaceutical
company with marketed products and a pipeline of development candidates, announced today that EVERSANA®,
a leading provider of commercialization services to the global life sciences industry, has been selected to support the launch strategy
and commercial planning of Tonmya (also known as TNX-102 SL, cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) in the U.S. Specifically, EVERSANA
will work with Tonix to assess the fibromyalgia landscape and help plan an efficient go-to-market strategy.
“EVERSANA shares our commitment to delivering
novel therapeutics to patients in need,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “We are
excited to further refine our business strategy for the anticipated launch of Tonmya in 2025. It has been over a decade since patients
suffering with fibromyalgia have been provided a new therapeutic option.”
“Today’s dynamic market requires experts
that can help customers navigate the complexities of launch and commercial planning,” said Jim Lang, CEO, EVERSANA. “Together,
we look forward to bringing a new treatment option to market for the millions of Americans suffering from this chronic disorder.”
Tonmya is a centrally acting, non-opioid medication.
As previously announced, Tonix’s second positive Phase 3 study, RESILIENT, met its pre-specified primary endpoint, significantly
reducing daily pain compared to placebo (p=0.00005) in participants with fibromyalgia. Statistically significant and clinically meaningful
results (p=0.001 or better) were also seen in all key secondary endpoints related to improving sleep quality, reducing fatigue, and improving
overall fibromyalgia symptoms and function.
Tonix plans to submit a New Drug Application to
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the second half of 2024 for Tonmya for the management of fibromyalgia and has scheduled a Type
B pre-NDA meeting with FDA for the second quarter of 2024.
About Tonmya* (also known as TNX-102 SL)
Tonmya is a centrally acting, non-opioid, non-addictive,
bedtime medication. The tablet is a patented sublingual formulation of cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride developed for the management of fibromyalgia.
In December 2023, the company announced highly statistically significant and clinically meaningful topline results in RESILIENT, a second
positive Phase 3 clinical trial of Tonmya for the management of fibromyalgia. In the study, Tonmya met its pre-specified primary endpoint,
significantly reducing daily pain compared to placebo (p=0.00005) in participants with fibromyalgia. Statistically significant and clinically
meaningful results were also seen in all key secondary endpoints related to improving sleep quality, reducing fatigue and improving overall
fibromyalgia symptoms and function. RELIEF, the first positive Phase 3 trial of Tonmya in fibromyalgia, was completed in December 2020.
It met its pre-specified primary endpoint of daily pain reduction compared to placebo (p=0.010) and showed activity in key secondary endpoints.
*Tonmya™ is conditionally accepted by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration as the tradename for TNX-102 SL for the management of fibromyalgia. Tonmya has not been approved for
any indication.
