MALVERN, Pa., Nov. 10, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Recro Pharma, Inc (Nasdaq:REPH), a revenue generating specialty pharmaceutical company focused on products for hospital and ambulatory care settings, currently developing non-opioid products for the treatment of serious acute pain, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.
“During the third quarter, we made significant progress advancing our lead candidate, IV meloxicam, with positive top-line data from the first of two pivotal Phase III efficacy trials, and we remain on track to report top-line data from the second pivotal trial by year end,” said Gerri Henwood, President and Chief Executive Officer of Recro Pharma. “With the acute pain space currently dominated by opioids, which can cause addiction and other serious side effects, there exists an urgent medical need for non-opioid options that provide patients with rapid and sustained pain relief. We look forward to sharing future clinical updates as we work toward a possible NDA filing for IV meloxicam in mid-summer 2017.”
