The Setup into Ph3 LEVEL Data (3Q26)

and whether it's enough across a broad population to drive widespread
adoption.
Here's the bull case (and where we stand):
●PH-HFpEF remains a massive unmet need.
●Prior levosimendan data support improvements in exercise capacity
and cardiac performance.
●TNX-103's preload reduction mechanism may be uniquely suited for
PH-HFpEF physiology.
●Even a high-teens effect size (>15m on 6MWD) could support
meaningful uptake given the lack of approved alternatives.
●And the bigger the delta on 6MWD, the bigger the commercial
opportunity becomes.
The bear case centers on effect size:
●PH-HFpEF has historically been a difficult indication (although prior
failures don't necessarily apply to TNX-103).
●Heterogeneity of the patient population may dilute treatment effects
(CpcPH and IpcPH).
●Polypharmacy: a high % of patients are expected to be in SGLT2
inhibitors. Could there be a ceiling effect on the correlation between
lowering preload and 6MWD improvements?
●There are some limitations from the phase 2 HELP trial (which we run
through in detail in our initiation report above).
The Bar for Success in PH-HFpEF
Hitting stat sig on 6MWD is the gate: The primary endpoint is placebo-
adjusted change in 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), and statistical
significance is the minimum bar for successful. If LEVEL hits, TNX-103
becomes a potentially approvable asset and likely the first credible
registration program in PH-HFpEF.
But effect size still matters (and ideally >20 meter delta): The study
(n=230) is powered at >90% to detect a 25-meter treatment effect,
assuming a 55-meter standard deviation and 10% dropout rate.
Here's how we're thinking about the 6MWD data:
●≥25 meters = exceptional outcome
●20-25 meters = clear win
