Scilex Holding Company (NASDAQ: SCLX) stock moved into the green Friday, as the innovative revenue-generating company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing non-opioid pain management products for the treatment of acute and chronic pain, today announced a national leading pharmacy chain to stock ELYXYB®. Previously, Scilex Holding Company announced pharmacy initiative to stock ELYXYB® for the other leading pharmacy chain in the U.S. Scilex is also in the process of negotiating similar potential stocking arrangements with additional pharmacy chains in the U.S.
ELYXYB® is the first and only ready to use oral solution designed to deliver fast and long-lasting migraine relief with the proven safety of COX-2 selectivity that is FDA-approved for the acute treatment of migraine, with or without aura, in adults.1
Clinicians in a recent market research study expressed their desire for fast and safe alternatives for two large pools of acute migraine patients – those who have an insufficient response to triptan therapy, and those who have contraindications to triptan use. ELYXYB’s product profile mapped with a high degree of certainty to these stated unmet needs. In clinical studies, patients treated with ELYXYB® demonstrated pain relief in as little as 15 minutes, and significant pain relief compared to placebo within 45 minutes in approximately 50% of patients.
SCLX shares took on eight cents, or 6%, to $1.36.
