About Us:
Eupraxia is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing locally delivered, extended-release products
that have the potential to address therapeutic areas with high unmet medical need. DiffuSphere™, a proprietary,
polymer-based micro-sphere technology, is designed to facilitate targeted drug delivery of both existing and
novel
drugs. The technology is designed to support an extended duration of effect and delivery of drugs in a
hyper-localized fashion, targeting only the tissues that physicians want to treat. We believe the potential for
fewer adverse events may be achieved through the precision targeting and the stable and flat delivery of the
active
ingredient when using the DiffuSphere™ technology, versus the peaks and troughs seen with more traditional drug
delivery methods. The precision of Eupraxia's DiffuSphere™ technology platform has the potential to augment and
transform existing FDA-approved drugs to improve their safety, tolerability, efficacy and duration of effect.
The
potential uses in therapeutic areas may go beyond pain and inflammatory gastrointestinal disease, where Eupraxia
currently is developing advanced treatments, also to be applicable in oncology, infectious disease and other
critical disease areas.
Eupraxia's EP-104GI is currently in a Phase 1b/2a trial, the RESOLVE trial, for the treatment of EoE. EP-104GI is
administered as an injection into the esophageal wall, providing local delivery of drug. This is a unique
treatment
approach for EoE. Eupraxia also recently completed a Phase 2b clinical trial (SPRINGBOARD) of EP-104IAR for the
treatment of pain due to knee osteoarthritis. The trial met its primary endpoint and three of the four secondary
endpoints. In addition, Eupraxia is developing a pipeline of later and earlier-stage long-acting formulations.
Potential pipeline indications include candidates for other inflammatory joint indications and oncology, each
designed to improve on the activity and tolerability of currently approved drugs. For further details about
Eupraxia, please visit the Company's website at: www.eupraxiapharma.com.
