The Rush for Non-Addictive Painkillers to Counter the Opioid Crisis Puts Two Companies Close to FDA Decisions
Tonix Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:TNXP) is developing TNX-102 SL, a non-opioid drug for fibromyalgia, addressing the urgent need for safer pain management options amid the opioid crisis. The company plans to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) in October 2024, with potential for Priority Review. TNX-102 SL targets disturbed sleep in fibromyalgia patients, offering a novel approach to pain management without addiction risks.
Simultaneously, Vertex Pharmaceuticalshas filed an NDA for VX-458, a non-opioid acute pain treatment granted Priority Review by the FDA. These developments reflect a broader industry shift towards non-addictive painkillers, supported by government initiatives like the HEAL Initiative. With an estimated 100 million Americans affected by chronic pain, including 10 million with fibromyalgia, these new treatments could significantly impact pain management practices and help combat the opioid epidemic
