CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PixarBio Corporation today announced they will be discussing NeuroReleaseTM, a potential breakthrough morphine replacement, non-opiate/opioid, non-addictive pain treatment at the 2016 NYSORA 15th Annual Symposium in New York City on September 23 - 25, 2016. PixarBio Chief Commercial Officer David Kaplan, Chief Technology Officer Dr. Jason Criscione, and Neuroscience Lead Dr. Dana Tilley will be available to discuss the NeuroRelease Platform.
The NeuroReleaseTM Platform: Non-Addictive and Non-opiate Treatment of Pain
NeuroReleaseTM is a morphine replacement, and non-addictive pain platform for the surgical/hospital setting, for the battlefield, or for acute and chronic pain. First product FDA approval for the platform will be for a 14-day post-surgical pain treatment and it is expected in late 2018.
Major Benefits of NeuroReleaseTM
- Effects only sensory signals
- No effect on locomotion nerve fibers, so patients can enter physical therapy quickly
- Maintains two-point discriminate touch so patients can function
- No effect on proprioception so no effect on a person feeling of well-being
Therefore, patients will maintain two-point discriminate touch, control of their locomotion nerve fibers so they control voluntary movement to enter rehabilitation quickly with a non-addictive morphine replacement. PixarBio’s NeuroReleaseTM pain platform also includes 4-8 hour, 3-day, 7-day, 14-day and 90-Day pain treatments all have expected FDA approvals in 2020. NeuroReleaseTM is biodegradable, and it's non-toxic so NeuroReleaseTM can be re-injected to extend treatment timelines.
PixarBio Corporation has completed the acquisition of a public entity, and Frank Reynolds is the CEO of the entity. We expect PixarBio Corporation to begin trading on the OTC-QB in early October 2016.
PixarBio Corporation was awarded the Boston Business Journal's "2016 Best Places to Work". The award recognizes PixarBio as one of the region's best firms, offering the greatest professional opportunities and work environments to innovate.
