Tonix Pharma Publishes Positive Phase 1 TNX-1500 Data; Phase 2 H2 2026

AI Summary

Tonix Pharmaceuticals announced the publication of positive Phase 1 clinical data for TNX-1500, an Fc-modified anti-CD154 monoclonal antibody, in the Journal of Clinical Immunology. The study in 26 healthy adults showed TNX-1500 was well-tolerated and effectively blocked T cell-dependent antibody responses, supporting its development for organ transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases. A Phase 2 investigator-initiated study for kidney transplant rejection is expected to begin in the second half of 2026, pending FDA IND clearance.
