Biotech Stocks Facing FDA Decision In September

Pain Therapeutics
Pain Therapeutics

Pain Therapeutics Inc. (PTIE) will know whether or not its pain drug Remoxy reaches the FDA finish line on September 25, 2016.

Remoxy is a long-acting abuse-resistant narcotic analgesic formulation in development for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic pain. It is formulated with Durect Corp.’s (DRRX) SABER technology under a joint development and license agreement entered into between Pain Therapeutics and Durect.

This is Remoxy’s third go-around with the FDA. The New Drug Application for Remoxy was rejected twice by the FDA – in December 2008 and June 2011.

It remains to be seen if the third time will be a charm for Remoxy.
