Patients with moderate-to-severe pain after abdominal surgery are enrolled in the study.
Improvements in pain threshold and tolerance were observed in subjects administered with a single intravenous infusion of LY03014 in a Phase I study. It also showed a good overall safety profile.
LY03014 is a small-molecule G protein-biased mu-opioid receptor (MOR) agonist.
It completely separates the β-arrestin-2, G protein pathways and reduces the risk of opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD), a common risk factor in patients leading to death.
