Congratulations to Vertex Pharmaceuticals on the FDA approval of Journavx, with broad label to treat moderate-to-severe acute pain in adults, representing the first new drug class for acute pain in more than 20 years.     We’re excited to see a new non-opioid pain management drug product now available for patients and providers.     #PainManagement #Biotech 

We’re thrilled to announce that Allay will be attending #JPM25, joining the biotech community in San Francisco to discuss our latest innovations in non-opioid pain management. We look forward to engaging with industry leaders, sharing our vision for a future with sustained pain relief solutions, and connecting with potential partners. See you there! #JPM2025 #AllayTherapeutics #Biotech #PainManagement #Orthopedics 

As we reflect on 2024, we are incredibly grateful for the dedication of our team, the trust of our partners, and the support of our community.

As Chief Medical Officer of Allay Therapeutics, David Hewitt, has been a visionary force in advancing clinical development in the pain management field.  With over two decades of experience, David brings a unique background that combines neurology expertise and an impressive track record in pharmaceutical clinical development. His work spans roles from Senior VP at Nura Bio to pivotal leadership in neuroscience and pain management at Syneos Health, Karuna Therapeutics, and Merck. Among his notable accomplishments, David led the pediatric migraine program that achieved FDA approval for Maxalt and contributed to the innovative drug-device system, Ionsys, for postoperative pain. His dedication to pioneering therapies that meaningfully impact patients’ lives is central to Allay’s mission to transform pain care. Learn more about our team here: https://lnkd.in/eF4k62RZ

As Allay’s clinical program advances, we recently hosted an Investigator Meeting for our upcoming Phase 2B study on ATX 101, our lead candidate in post-surgical pain relief. Designed to address the challenges of sustained, non-opioid analgesia, ATX 101 supports faster recovery times and less dependence on traditional pain management methods. This meeting wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible clinical team, whose expertise and commitment continue to drive Allay’s progress. We appreciate your dedication to improving patient outcomes and advancing innovative solutions in pain care.

We’re proud to announce that the U.S. FDA has granted Breakthrough Therapy designation (BTD) for ATX101, our investigational treatment for post-surgical pain following total knee replacement (TKA) surgeries. This news highlights the urgent need for non-opioid alternatives in managing post-surgical pain and the potential of ATX101 to provide extended pain relief, limiting opioid use and associated side effects.    This designation is supported by promising results from a Phase 2 dose-ranging trial, which demonstrated that ATX101 delivers up to 4 weeks of sustained pain relief, as well as clinically meaningful improvements in functional activity and patient satisfaction.   We’re looking forward to progressing to the registrational Phase 2B trial and working closely with the FDA to advance the development of ATX101 to patients in need.   Read more in today’s release: https://lnkd.in/eYQ_S3az

Another great visit to Singapore to visit our local Allay Therapeutics team, our investors, and to attend an excellent ClavystBio event. We enjoyed collaborating with the team on planning and project development – and couldn’t miss celebrating several birthdays! We also were thrilled to meet with our supportive investors at Vertex Growth, ClavystBio, and Pavilion Capital to share our latest progress with our lead candidate ATX101.    One of the highlights of the week was the #clavystbioconnects ClavystBio Portfolio Day and networking event. Yingmin Wang hosted an insightful panel with Adam Gridley, Theresa Heah and Piers Ingram where we discussed the learnings and challenges of scaling early-stage companies globally. A big thanks to Khoo Shih, Yingmin and the entire ClavystBio team for the compelling discussions with leading investors, partners and portfolio companies on the opportunities within the Singapore life sciences ecosystem. #PainManagement #Biotech #AllayTherapeutics

The Allay Therapeutics team, thanks to our partnership with Life Science Cares Bay Area, had the privilege of volunteering at Second Harvest of Silicon Valley to help provide meals for those in need. Second Harvest now serves over 450,000 Santa Clara County and San Mateo County residents each month, an 80% increase over pre-pandemic numbers. As we approach Thanksgiving and the holiday season, it’s a poignant reminder of how important it is to give back to our community. Helping others is at the heart of our values, and we’re incredibly proud to support an organization that works tirelessly to combat food insecurity in our community. A heartfelt thank you to Second Harvest for all that you do and for allowing us to be part of this important mission. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those around us. #AllayTherapeutics #TeamAllay #Biotech #CommunityImpact
