Creating new approaches to develop Personalized Analgesics®

  • The clinical success rate for developing an analgesic is 2% - five times lower than other therapeutic areas.

 

  • Current treatment options are limited with only 1 in 8 people receiving satisfactory pain relief with standard of care. 

 

  • We have to change how we conduct R&D and link research to specific pain conditions to create Personalized Analgesics®.

Keys to Analgesic Innovation

01

understand the patient

Listen and learn from patients to create patient inspired R&D

02

Disease understanding

Increase knowledge of the 100+ conditions associated with chronic pain

03

link target to disease

Move away from relying on 'preclinical' data to define clinical development

04

Develop in the right patients

Break away from only developing in the  ~10 regulatory approved conditions

05

create the right patient outcomes

Develop patient outcome measures based on patients needs for each condition

06

increase female focused research

Take into account inherent gender bias and explore female pain conditions
