PixarBio Corporation CEO Frank Reynolds to Present at the National Investment Banking Association’s 142nd Investment Conference in New York City, November 14, 2017
PixarBio Corporation developers of NeuroReleaseTM, announced CEO Frank Reynolds to present at the National Investment Banking Association’s (NIBA) 142nd Investment Conference to be held November 13-14, 2017 at the Westin New York at Times Square Hotel in New York City.
“The NIBA is an important conference to engage the markets. We’re heading into 2018 as the only non-opiate, new drug candidate engaging the FDA expecting to treat post-surgical pain longer than 3 days while lasting up to 14 days. We are in a great position for FDA approval in late 2019”, said CEO Frank Reynolds.
The NeuroReleaseTM Platform: Non-Addictive
and Non-opiate Treatment of Pain
NeuroReleaseTM is a
morphine replacement, and non-addictive pain platform for post-surgical
pain. First product FDA approval for the platform will be for a 14-day
post-surgical pain treatment and it is expected in late 2019.
Major Benefits of NeuroReleaseTM
- Non-addictive, non-opiate nerve block
- Treats only sensory nerve fibers, or pain signals going back to the brain;
- No effect on locomotion nerve fibers, so patients can enter physical therapy quickly;
- Maintains two-point discriminate touch so patients can function and feel the ground; and
- 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 will also include 3-day, 7-day, and 90-Day pain treatments. NeuroReleaseTM is biodegradable and non-toxic so NeuroReleaseTM can be re-injected for repeat treatments.
