Tonmya: Hypothesized Novel Mechanism Targets Sleep Quality for Recovery from PTSD 12 PTSD is a disorder of recovery • Most people exposed to extreme trauma recover over a few weeks • In PTSD, recovery process impeded due to insufficient sleep-dependent memory processing1,2 Memory processing is essential to recovery • Vulnerability to memory intrusions and trauma triggers remains if no consolidation of new learning (extinction) Tonmya targets sleep quality3 • The active ingredient in Tonmya, cyclobenzaprine, interacts with receptors that regulate sleep quality: strongly binds and potently blocks 5-HT2A, 1-adrenergic and histamine H1 receptors, permissive to sleep-dependent recovery processes 1Straus LD, Acheson DT, Risbrough VB, Drummond SPA.

Proposed Mechanism of Action of Tonmya in the Treatment of PTSD: Focus on Nocturnal HT2A Receptor Blockade in REM 14 • Generally, serotonin (5-HT) activity promotes the awake state and inhibits REM sleep; whereas once in REM sleep, the 5-HT system is normally quiescent • Extinction learning is critical to recovery from trauma, and such new learning is consolidated (moving from labile short term to established long term memory) during particular stages of sleep1,2 • Recent rodent research shows how particular brain wave patterns during REM sleep, known as “P-waves” are critical to extinction consolidation3 5-HT activation of pontine brainstem region richly expressing 5-HT2A receptors inhibits P-wave generation during REM4Nocturnal blockage of 5-HT2A receptors may restore extinction consolidation by inhibition of errant 5-HT stimulation during REM (see model in next 2 slides) 1.

Overview of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) 16 PSTD is a chronic disabling disorder in response to experiencing traumatic event(s) Symptoms of PTSD fall into four clusters: 1. Intrusion (aversive memories, nightmares, flashbacks) 2. Avoidance (avoiding persons, places or situations) 3. Mood/cognitions (memory block, emotional numbing, detachment from others) 4. Hyperarousal (anxiety, agitation & sleep disturbance) Diagnosis, symptom severity, as well as treatment effect, is determined by CAPS-5* • Recognized as the standard for rating PTSD severity in clinical trials • Takes into account all four symptom clusters • Higher Total CAPS-5 score reflects more severe PTSD symptoms * Clinician-administered PTSD scale for Diagnostic Statistical Manual version 5 (DSM-5) © 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.

What is Agitation in Alzheimer’s Disease? 56 Agitation is one of the most distressing and debilitating of the behavioral complications of Alzheimer’s disease • Includes emotional lability, restlessness, irritability and aggression1 Link between disturbed sleep and agitation in Alzheimer’s1-3 • Agitation is commonly diurnal (“sundowning”) Prevalence • Agitation is likely to affect more than half of the 5.3 million Americans who currently suffer from moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease, and this number is expected to nearly triple by 20504 1Rose, K.et al. (2015). American Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease & Other Dementias, 30:78 2Shih, Y. H., et al. (2017). Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 18, 396. 3Canevelli, M., et al. (2016).

Consequences of Agitation in Alzheimer’s Disease 57 Outcomes • Agitation is associated with significant poor outcomes for Alzheimer’s patients and challenges for their caregivers Common reason for institutionalization • Development of agitation, or its worsening, is one of the most common reasons for patients having to transition from lower- to higher levels of care (nursing homes and other long-term care settings)1 Cost • The presence of agitation nearly doubles the cost of caring for patients with Alzheimer’s disease, and agitation is estimated to account for more than 12% of the healthcare and societal cost of Alzheimer’s disease, which is currently estimated to be $256 Billion for the year 2017 in the United States1 1The Alzheimer’s Association, 2017 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures: https://www.alz.org/facts/ © 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.

 

 

 

 

 

Agitation in Alzheimer’s Disease – Additional Indication Being Developed for TNX 102 SL 58 FDA designated Fast Track development program Significant unmet need • No FDA approved drugs for the treatment of agitation in Alzheimer’s Mechanism of improving sleep quality • Sleep disturbance is a significant and common symptoms in Alzheimer’s Pharmacological advantages outweigh potential concerns of using TNX-102 SL in treating agitation in Alzheimer’s disease • Blocks 3 receptors, not just one (e.g., 5-HT2A) © 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.

Scientific Rationale for Developing TNX 102 SL for Agitation in Alzheimer’s Disease 61 Connection between Sleep Disturbance and Agitation • Agitation in Alzheimer’s Disease is associated with sleep disturbance1,2 • Evidence that improving sleep could improve agitation3 Supported by Potential Mechanism of Action • TNX-102 is a multifunctional agent including antagonism of 5-HT2A, α 1-adrenergic and histamine H1 receptors • Certain 5-HT2A antagonists have shown clinical efficacy against agitation in dementia including trazodone4,5, and mirtazapine6 • The α1-adrenergic antagonist prazosin has shown efficacy in the treatment of agitation in dementia7 • The histamine H1 antagonist hydroxyzine had historical use in treating agitation in dementia8 1Bachmen, D. and Rabins, P.

TNX 801 (Synthesized Live Horsepox Virus): A Smallpox Preventing Vaccine Candidate 71 Synthesis1 from sequence of a 1976 Mongolian isolate2 In mice, TNX-801 behaved like attenuated vaccinia virus • Vaccinia is the term used to classify the live poxviruses that are used as smallpox vaccines, including ACAM2000, which is the latest smallpox vaccine licensed in the U.S. How is HPXV related to modern vaccines? • Multiple sources3-5 indicate that the smallpox vaccine discovered by Dr. Edward Jenner in the early 19th century was either HPXV or a very similar virus and that vaccinia vaccines are derived from this ancestral strain • A 1902 U.S. smallpox vaccine was found to be highly similar (99.7% similarity in core genome6) to HPXV sequence from the 1976 Mongolian isolate • Horsepox is now believed to be extinct5 1 Noyce, RS, Lederman S, Evans DH.

Evidence of Effectiveness for Smallpox Vaccine 87 Given that smallpox is eradicated the only evidence of effectiveness for modern vaccines is from historical use when smallpox was endemic • Stimulates interest in the evolution of vaccinia Vaccinia stocks around the world diverged from Jenner’s 1798 vaccine • Evolutionary argument that common progenitor was horsepox or a similar virus U.S. vaccine from 1902 was found to be 99.7% similar to horsepox in core viral sequence1 • Strong evidence linking a horsepox-like virus as progenitor to modern vaccinia • Effectiveness of older vaccines support belief that HPXV will be protective against smallpox 1Schrick, L. et al (2017) An Early American Smallpox Vaccine Based on Horsepox N Engl J Med 2017; 377:1491 © 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.

What’s the Evidence of Effectiveness of Smallpox Vaccines for Preventing Smallpox? 92 Theoretical effectiveness of modern vaccinia vaccines are based on extrapolation from older vaccines • Newer/modern vaccines were not widely used when smallpox was endemic MVA (Modified Virus Ankara) which has large deletions also produces different T cell responses • In non-human primates, MVA is less effective than ACAM2000 in protecting against monkeypox1 • MVA has fewer epitopes, and elicits different responses to existing epitopes2 • MVA effectiveness argument is based on the immune response to intracellular mature virus (IMV) • Immunity to the other form of virus, extracellular enveloped virus (EEV), is weak because the immunodominant B5 gene is heavily mutated and deleted in MVA 1Golden JW, et al.

Viral Replication Proficiency is Critical to Human Immunogenicity but May Compromise Safety 94 Pox vaccines with low or no replication appear safer than vaccines replicate fast in human cells • Canarypox and Imvamune® (Modified Virus Ankara/MVA) appear to have good tolerability • Relatively safe in immunocompromised hosts • Rapidly replicating modern vaccinia vaccines (Dryvax® and ACAM2000®) are associated with myocarditis Replication correlates positively with immunogenicity • Jenner’s vaccine and modern vaccinia engender strong immunity • Canarypox and MVA appear to be weak immunogens, suitable for priming of the immune system in healthy human being and potentially safe enough to use in immunocompromised people © 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.

 

 

 

 

 

Manufacturing and Dosing Requirements 95 TNX-801 (HPXV) is expected to have similar scalability for mass production as ACAM2000 • TNX-801 grows well in cell lines – immunity is expected after single administration (immunization) • Only a small dose (replicating live virus) is required for immunization MVA is hard to scale up for commercial production • Requires high dose to engender an immune response (non-replicating virus) • Cumbersome immunization schedule– two doses, 4 weeks apart, are used typically to prime the immune system (slow growth) Antivirals • Relatively expensive to manufacture – requires repeated dosing • May provide logistical challenges to at risk population over the at risk period © 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.

 

 

 

 

 

Rationale for Developing a Potentially Improved New Smallpox Vaccine Based on Jenner’s Vaccine 96 Vaccination protects against smallpox – both individuals and populations at risk • Use of Jenner’s vaccine resulted in eradication of smallpox Vaccination can protect AFTER smallpox infection • Vaccinia can be administered 1-3 days after infection Vaccination indirectly protects non-immunized people in a population • “Wetting the forest” or “herd immunity” Vaccination can be cost effective with safe/low-risk vaccines • Replication-efficient live virus vaccines can be manufactured and administered for broader use “The Time is Right” New synthetic biology technology and new understanding of vaccinia evolution provide anopportunity for a potentially safer vaccine using HPXV © 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.

 

 

 

 

 

Potential for Use of HPXV as a Vector for Vaccines to Infectious Disease or Cancer 97 Poxviruses like HPXV can be engineered to express foreign genes and are well recognized platforms for vaccine development • Large packaging capacity for exogenous DNA inserts (i.e. encoding antigens) • Precise virus-specific control of exogenous gene insert expression • Lack of persistence or genomic integration in the host • Strong immunogenicity as a vaccine • Ability to rapidly generate vector/insert constructs • Readily manufacture at scale • Live, replicating vaccine – direct antigen presentation Potential advantages of HPXV- strong immunogenicity with good tolerability © 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.
