Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The use of low-dose CBP dosed nightly at bedtime for FM was supported by the results of Tonix' TNX-CY-F202 Phase 2b study (also referred to as the BESTFIT Study). The TNX-CY-F202 study provided strong evidence that TNX-102 SL 2.8 mg dosed nightly results in beneficial effects upon pain, sleep and other FM symptomatology.

The present trial is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of TNX-102 SL 2.8 mg tablets, taken daily at bedtime over 12 weeks to treat fibromyalgia.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Average perceived pain [Week 12]

      The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of patients with a ≥30% improvement (responder criteria) from baseline to Week 12 in the weekly mean of the daily self-reported 24-hour recall average pain severity score using an 11-point (0-10) NRS.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Patient's Global Impression of Change (PGIC) [Week 12]

      Proportion of patients with a PGIC of "very much improved" or "much improved" rating at Week 12

    2. Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) [Week 12]

      Change from Baseline in the FIQR total score at Week12

    3. Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement System (PROMIS) [Week 12]

      Change from baseline in the PROMIS score for sleep disturbance at Week 12

    4. Daily Diary sleep [Week 12]

      Change from Baseline in the weekly average of the daily diary assessment of sleep quality at Week 12

    5. Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement System (PROMIS) [Week 12]

      Change from Baseline in the PROMIS score for fatigue at Week 12

    6. Daily Diary pain [Week 12]

      Change from baseline to Week 12 in the weekly average of the daily self-reported average pain severity score

    7. Safety of TNX-102 SL Tablets [Continuously throughout the treatment period (total duration: about 3 months)]

      Incidence of adverse events

    8. Safety of TNX-102 SL Tablets assessed by changes from baseline in clinical laboratory tests [Continuously throughout the treatment period (total duration: about 3 months)]

    9. Safety of TNX-102 SL Tablets assessed by changes from baseline in vital signs [Continuously throughout the treatment period (total duration: about 3 months)]

    10. Safety of TNX-102 SL Tablets assessed by changes from baseline in physical examination findings including examination of the oral cavity [Continuously throughout the treatment period (total duration: about 3 months)]

    11. Safety of TNX-102 SL Tablets assessed by Monitoring suicidality using the C-SSRS scale [Continuously throughout the treatment period (total duration: about 3 months)]

    12. Safety of TNX-102 Sub lingual (SL) Tablets assessed by changes from baseline in BDI scores. [Continuously throughout the treatment period (total duration: about 3 months)]
