Avoidance (avoiding persons, places or situations) 3. Mood/cognitions (memory block, emotional numbing, detachment from others) 4. Hyperarousal (anxiety, agitation & sleep disturbance) Symptoms assessed for diagnosis, severity and treatment effect • Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS - 5) • Recognized as the standard for rating PTSD severity in clinical trials • Takes into account all four symptom clusters

© 2017 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. 39 Horsepox - Better Tolerability as a Vaccine? • Horsepox is caused by HPXV and is characterized by mouth and skin eruptions • HXPV isolate from the 1976 outbreak later sequenced • Modern vaccinia virus smallpox vaccines are associated with cardiotoxicity; may have acquired undesirable properties not present in an ancestral virus (likely HPXV) • Horsepox has potential for slower proliferation or decreased toxicity

 

 

© 2017 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. 40 A Better Smallpox - Preventing Vaccine is Important and Necessary Today • Smallpox was eradicated as a result of global public health campaigns • No cases of naturally - occurring smallpox have been reported since 1977 • Accidental or intentional transmission of smallpox does not require a natural disease reservoir • Stockpiles of smallpox - preventing vaccines are currently maintained and refreshed in case of need
