Tonix Pharmaceuticals Awarded potential 34 million dollar Contract with U.S. Department of Defence
Tonix Pharmaceuticals
Tonix Pharmaceuticals CEO Dr. Seth Lederman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share exciting news about a significant achievement for the company. Tonix Pharmaceuticals has been awarded a potential contract worth up to $34 million over five years by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), an agency within the U.S. Department of Defense. This contract aims to develop small molecule broad-spectrum antiviral agents for the prevention or treatment of infections, thereby enhancing the medical readiness of military personnel in biological threat environments. Dr. Lederman explained that Tonix’s program will concentrate on the optimization and development of its TNX-4200 program. The goal is to develop an orally available CD45 antagonist with broad-spectrum efficacy against various viral families through extensive preclinical evaluation. The program is expected to establish essential physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetics, and safety attributes to support an Investigational New Drug (IND) submission, ultimately funding a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical study. The agreement with DTRA is a strategic move to address the DoD’s objective of protecting U.S. Joint Forces from potential biological weapon threats. The DoD announced in December 2022 that it aims to move beyond the traditional ‘one bug, one drug’ approach and is seeking broad-spectrum drugs, as predicting which viruses or how many may be deployed in a biological threat scenario is challenging. Dr. Lederman emphasized that the collaboration with DTRA underscores Tonix Pharmaceuticals' commitment to advancing medical readiness and protection for military personnel. By developing a broad-spectrum antiviral agent, Tonix aims to provide a versatile and robust solution to potential viral threats, enhancing the preparedness and resilience of the U.S. military in diverse and unpredictable biological threat environments. The TNX-4200 program’s focus on creating an effective, orally available antiviral agent highlights Tonix’s innovative approach to addressing complex medical challenges. The successful development of this broad-spectrum antiviral could significantly impact the way viral infections are managed in military and potentially civilian populations, offering a proactive measure against a wide array of viral threats. Tonix Pharmaceuticals continues to be at the forefront of medical innovation, dedicated to developing cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of the healthcare and defense sectors. The support from the DoD through this substantial contract is a testament to the potential and importance of Tonix’s TNX-4200 program in safeguarding the health and readiness of military personnel against biological threats.

Mainz BioMed Seeks FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for Advanced Colorectal Cancer Test
Mainz Biomed N.V.
Mainz BioMed CEO Guido Baechler joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company has submitted an application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requesting Breakthrough Device Designation for its innovative non-invasive Next Generation colorectal cancer screening product. This product incorporates a novel portfolio of mRNA biomarkers. Achieving this designation could potentially expedite the approval process, significantly benefiting early cancer detection efforts. Baechler emphasized that the regulatory submission is backed by consistently strong results from the company's clinical studies, ColoFuture and eAArly Detect, as well as data from a comprehensive pooled study encompassing both the European and U.S. cohorts, which were presented at ASCO 2024. These studies have culminated in the final configuration of the Next Generation Test. This test integrates the Fecal Immunochemical Test with proprietary mRNA biomarkers and is enhanced by an advanced AI and machine learning algorithm. This integrated approach is set to be employed in the FDA premarket approval study. The Next Generation Test configuration was rigorously evaluated in a clinical setting involving 295 subjects from 21 specialized gastroenterology centers across the United States. The results underscored the exceptional efficacy of Mainz Biomed’s multimodal screening test, which allows for precise differentiation among colorectal cancer, advanced adenomas, non-advanced adenomas, and samples with no pathological findings. The FDA’s Breakthrough Devices Designation program is designed to accelerate the development, assessment, and review of medical devices and combination products that provide more effective treatment or diagnosis for life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating conditions. This designation for Mainz BioMed's colorectal cancer test could pave the way for quicker market access and wider availability of this critical diagnostic tool.

Old Slip Capital Announces New Miami Office, Issues Advisory for ERISA by James Lukezic, Managing Director
Rev Up Marketers
Old Slip Capital has announced the opening of its new office in Miami, FL. The company has also issued an important advisory to plan sponsors, pointing to the advantages of trusting ERISA Fiduciary Advisors. Old Slip Capital's new office in Miami will further add a growth potential to its prospects. It has also shared insights for Plan Sponsors to help them derive the best from ERISA. The advisory focuses on explaining the difference between an ERISA Fiduciary Advisor and a Standard Broker or Advisor, and helps in understanding that selecting a Standard Broker or Advisor is simply not good enough. According to James Lukezic, Managing Director at Old Slip Capital, there are some obvious dangers of not hiring an ERISA Fiduciary Advisor under section 3(38) or 3(21) or both: "Plan Sponsors think that simply having an Advisor at the table is enough until they (Plan Sponsor) realize that a Standard or Retail Advisor is giving them arm’s length advice and not truly taking on liability or responsibility for that advice. With a sanctioned ERISA Fiduciary Advisor, Plan Sponsors can shift that liability to the ERISA Advisor and his or her firm; that includes personal liability on the part of the investment committee members". The advisory goes on to point out that plaintiffs’ class action lawyers in fiduciary breach lawsuits, the Department of Labor in ERISA plan audits, courts, and insurers have focused increased attention on how well ERISA plan fiduciaries follow procedural due process. Actions (or inactions) of committees and individual investment committee fiduciaries are scrutinized and judged in increasing detail, causing fiduciaries to wonder if they are up to date on all of the best practices for plan governance. According to Old Slip Capital, understanding the roles of Fiduciaries and the types of Fiduciaries generally causes confusion. There are Trust Fiduciaries, Administrative Fiduciaries and ERISA Fiduciaries; the latter being the most important. The role of the ERISA Fiduciary is critical, as this advisor is the glue that holds the Retirement Plan together, his or her advice to the Investment Committee steers the success of the plan in a big way. The advisory further explains that competence to act as a fiduciary on the investment committee means more than just having subject matter expertise. It also means having the time needed to devote to the fiduciary role. Putting aside the potential conflicts of interest that a director would face in switching hats from corporate director to plan fiduciary, even a director with the requisite expertise to act as a fiduciary, typically lacks the time (and probably the inclination) to perform more than an oversight role. Furthermore, the Board of Directors should never be left in the position of acting as the Investment Committee. Unfortunately, this is precisely the form of fiduciary governance structure that is in place with the overwhelming majority of employer sponsored plans.
