Material Changes and Clinical Results
The primary material event is the publication of results from a first-in-human, Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of TNX-1500 (an Fc-Modified anti-CD154 Monoclonal Antibody). Key findings include:
- Study Design: Conducted in 26 healthy adult volunteers across three ascending dose cohorts (3, 10, and 30 mg/kg) with a 120-day follow-up.
- Primary Endpoint: TNX-1500 blocked the primary T cell-dependent antibody response (TDAR) to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) at all tested doses.
- Secondary Endpoint: The drug blocked the secondary response at 10 and 30 mg/kg doses.
- Efficacy at Lower Dose: At the 3 mg/kg dose, TNX-1500 reduced the peak secondary response to KLH by approximately 70% relative to placebo.
