Key Points: 
  • Based on the data now published in peer-reviewed journals, we are encouraged about the potential of NRD.E1 to address the high unmet medical need for a non-opioid agent to treat chronic pain.
  • In three Phase 1 studies NRD.E1 was well tolerated as single dose up to 1200 mg and repeated doses of 300 mg/day for five consecutive days.
  • The Phase 2a study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding, proof-of-concept study in 88 patients with PDPN.
  • The study investigated NRD.E1 at 10, 40, or 150 mg/day or placebo over a 3-week treatment period.
