AcelRx is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for the treatment of acute and breakthrough pain. Our lead product, ARX-01, is currently being evaluated in Phase 3 studies for the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain in the hospital setting. ARX-01 is designed to enable patient control, remove impediments to ambulation, and improve patient satisfaction. By utilizing sublingual delivery of sufentanil NanoTabs(R) thorugh our proprietary handheld system, ARX-01 avoids the invasive IV route of delivery and the inherent potential for programming and delivery errors associated with the complexity of infusion pumps. By delivering sufentanil through the oral transmucosal route, ARX-01 offers the potential to improve upon the typical side effect profile of morphine. 

We have three additional product candidates in clinical development: ARX-02 for the treatment of cancer breakthrough pain; ARX-03 for providing mild sedation, anxiety reduction and pain relief for patients undergoing painful procedures in a physician’s office; and ARX-04, a non-invasive, fast-onset sublingual product for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain.
