What TENAX THERAPEUTICS, INC. does

In the company’s own words

Tenax Therapeutics, Inc. (trading on The Stock Market LLC) is a Phase 3 development-stage pharmaceutical company focused on developing novel cardiopulmonary therapies using a clinician-driven drug development approach. The company's website is www.tenaxthera.com.

Tenax employs a distinctive strategy of repurposing already-approved drugs with well-established safety profiles spanning more than two decades of global use. The company's prioritized product candidate is oral levosimendag (TNX-103), a first-in-class K-ATP activator and calcium sensitizer originally developed for intravenous use in acutely decompensated heart failure. Levosimendag has received market authorization in 60 countries and has been administered to an estimated 2.2 million patients worldwide. The company is actively conducting two Phase 3 clinical trials, LEVEL and LEVEL-2, to evaluate levosimendag for treating pulmonary hypertension in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF), a condition affecting more than 1.5 million Americans for which no therapies are currently approved.

The company's secondary product candidate is imatinib (TNX-201), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved by the FDA in 2001 for chronic myeloid leukemia and marketed as Gleevec. Imatinib has demonstrated potential as a disease-modifying treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), though Tenax has deprioritized its Phase 3 development to focus resources on levosimendag.

Tenax maintains an intellectual property portfolio including four issued U.S. patents related to levosimendag formulations and uses, with additional patents granted or pending in Canada and Europe. The company holds exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize oral and subcutaneous formulations of levosimendag through a licensing agreement with Orion Corporation. As of December 31, 2025, Tenax employed 14 full-time employees and two part-time employees, relying substantially on third-party manufacturers, clinical research organizations, and external scientific advisors to conduct its development programs. The company does not operate manufacturing facilities and outsources all production to contract manufacturers.
