How Pharma Copes with the Pain of Developing Abuse-Deterrent Opioids

February 21, 2018

With the wide availability of generic opioid analgesics, such as oxycodone and hydromorphone, the abuse of prescription opioids has become a major public health problem in the US. Consequently, in January 2013, the FDA released draft guidance for drug makers that mandates inclusion of abuse-deterrent technology for new opioid products. Data from Pharmaprojects and Trialtrove were analyzed to explore the current development for opioid analgesics with abuse-deterrent technology in order to gain insight into the front runners of this competitive area, their characteristics, and the top sponsors on the verge of becoming market leaders.
