Tackling the Opioid Epidemic at the Source

PainReform Ltd, listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker “PRFX,” is the developer of PRF-110, an oil-based, viscous, clear solution that is deposited (instilled) directly into a surgical wound bed prior to closure to provide localized and extended post-operative pain relief, thereby reducing the potential need for the use of opiates.

The Company expects to report the results of its groundbreaking Phase 3 trial in mid-2024.

Market Opportunity

The North America post-operative pain treatment market is estimated to reach $16B and $45B world-wide by the end of 2026

The Opioid Epidemic

  • Most surgical patients receive opioids to manage post-surgical pain
  • Over 150 million opioid prescriptions were dispensed to American patients annually
  • Approximately 11.5 million Americans report misusing prescription opioids – 10X the number on heroin
  • Sadly, many of these people go in for a simple procedure, and after a few days to weeks on pain medicine, they become addicted and can’t stop
  • 6% to 10% of surgical patients discharged with opiate prescriptions develop an opioid dependency
  • Taking too many prescription opioids can stop a person’s breathing—leading to death
  • Opiate abuse and addiction cause 70,000 deaths per year in the US and an economic burden of $80B a year
  • Two out of three drug overdose deaths involve opiates
  • There is a significant unmet need for long-acting local anesthetic agents in order to spare opioid use, its side effects and reduce hospital length of stay due to complications
