Key FDA Approvals & Regulatory Actions (2025):

✅ FDA approval - Journavx (suzetrigine), a first-in-class non-opioid oral analgesic for moderate-severe acute pain (approved Jan 30-31, 2025).

✅ Why it matters: first new non-opioid oral analgesic class to reach approval in 2025 - potential to shift acute-pain prescribing away from opioids if payers/hospitals adopt it.

✅ FDA issued/updated guidance and policy activity to support development and oversight of non-opioid analgesics (2025) - including draft guidance on development of non-opioid analgesics for chronic pain and other steps in FDA's broader strategy on opioid risk/safety labeling.

✅ Why it matters: regulatory guidance lowers development uncertainty for sponsors of non-opioid pain drugs and signals FDA prioritization of alternatives to opioids.

✅ FDA-required labeling updates and safety actions for opioid medicines (2025) - continued FDA actions in 2025 to require updated long-term risk information and other safety measures for opioid pain drugs.

✅ Why it matters: ongoing labeling changes increase prescriber/payer focus on opioid risks and strengthen the commercial rationale for non-opioid alternatives.

Major Mergers & Acquisitions in (2025):

✅ Eli Lilly agreed to acquire SiteOne Therapeutics (announced May 27, 2025) - deal worth up to $1.0 billion (adds SiteOne's Nav1.8/NaV-targeting STC-004 program to Lilly's pain pipeline).

✅ Why it matters: big pharma doubling down on next-generation, non-opioid sodium-channel approaches - increases competition with other Nav-targeted assets (e.g., Vertex's program).

✅ Semnur Pharmaceuticals (Scilex subsidiary) completed its SPAC business combination / went public via Denali (closed Sept 22, 2025) - positions Semnur (focused on non-opioid pain candidates such as SP-102) to access public capital for late-stage development.

✅ Why it matters: more capital availability for non-opioid pain developers accelerates trial activity and potential commercial launches.
