CHATHAM, N.J., March 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (Tonix or the Company), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that preclinical results of mTNX-1700 (recombinant murine TFF2-murine serum albumin, or MSA, fusion protein) were presented in a poster at the Keystone Symposia, “Cancer Immunotherapy: Mechanisms of Response Versus Resistance” on March 6, 2023, at the Fairmont Banff Springs Conference Center in Banff, Alberta, Canada.

- TNX-1700 targets myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) which interfere with the immune response to cancer by suppressing the CD8+ T cell response and creating a toxic tumor microenvironment.
- Tonix is developing TNX-1700 (recombinant human TFF2-human serum albumin or HSA) for the treatment of colon and gastric cancers.
- “Anti-PD-1 treatment has revolutionized the treatment of other cancers and is known as immuno-oncology,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix.
- In addition, it was shown that mTNX-1700 inhibits the MDSCs which contribute to the toxic element of the tumor microenvironment.
