Ensysce leadership participates at Annual Pain Therapeutics Summit

Ensysce Biosciences announced that Dr. Lynn Kirkpatrick, Chief Executive Officer of Ensysce, will present at the 18th Annual Pain Therapeutics Summit taking place on October 28 and 29, 2024 in Boston, MA. Dr. Kirkpatrick’s presentation “When All You Have is a Hammer … A New Approach to Soften the Blow” will be held on Monday, October 28th at 1:00 PM Eastern Time. In this session, Dr. Kirkpatrick will review the proliferation of new analgesic entrants that have promised opioid-like efficacy but to date have not delivered. The result has been opioid mistrust and unfortunately, a reduction in access for those who depend on opioid pain relief for a decent quality of life. Instead of turning away from these effective analgesics, Ensysce embraced their efficacy by introducing new TAAP and MPAR classes of opioids. The lead agents, PF614 and PF614-MPAR, are expected to provide a novel option for high-risk patients delivering exquisite pain relief yet with advantages over currently used Abuse Deterrent Formulation opioid products. TAAP-modified opioids reduce multiple forms of abuse and only release the opioid when taken orally and exposed to trypsin in the gut. MPAR applies another layer of safety resulting in oral overdose protection by adding a trypsin inhibitor to each of the TAAP products. Dr. Kirkpatrick will present clinical data demonstrating these unique qualities of TAAP and MPAR and supporting their added benefits over the ADF class.
