Addressing the Urgent Need for Better Chronic Pain Drugs and Fighting the Opioid Crisis

 

Chronic pain affects 100 million Americans and causes a substantial physical and emotional impact on their lives. Current treatments for pain are insufficient, and patients are often prescribed opioids. Increased prescription of opioids has led to a widespread public health emergency, the US Opioid Crisis. There is an unmet need for safe, non-addictive and effective pain medications that can help pain patients and fight the US Opioid Crisis.

At EicOsis we are developing a new approach to treat pain and inflammation by inhibiting the soluble Epoxide Hydrolase (sEH), a key regulatory enzyme. Inhibiting sEH increases the levels of naturally occurring anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving compounds. Our first drug candidate is currently undergoing Phase 1 human clinical trials.
