Scilex touts head-to-head study of lidocaine pain-relief patch

Sorrento Therapeutics (NSDQ:SRNE) subsidiary Scilex Pharmaceuticals touted data today from a head-to-head clinical adhesion study of its ZTlido lidocaine patch, comparing it to the EU reference product, Versatis. ZTlido is a lidocaine patch in development for the treatment of post-herpetic neuralgia – a severe neuropathic pain condition that affects elderly people and patients who have had a Shingles infection, HIV/AIDS or cancer. The anhydrous patch contains just 36 milligrams of lidocaine, compared to Lidoderm and Versatis which each have 700 milligrams of the painkiller.
