OVERVIEW
Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRPX) is combatting the expensive and deadly opioid epidemic by developing non-addictive products for pain management using its proprietary technologies to optimize and target drug delivery.
The company is seeking FDA approval in three multi-billion-dollar markets. Probudur for postoperative pain, Envelta for severe pain including post cancer pain, and NobrXiol for the management of rare pediatric epilepsy and potential orphan diseases.
If approved, these product candidates will fundamentally change what prescribers recommend managing their patients' severe pain, Epilepsy, and other CNS disorders in the future.
Understanding the Opioid Overdose Epidemic
What to know:
The number of opioid-involved deaths has increased substantially since 1999.
There have been three distinct waves of increases in opioid overdose deaths over the last 25 years, with each wave driven by different types of opioids.
The U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC)—led by Chairman Don Beyer (D-VA)—released a new analysis that finds the opioid epidemic cost the United States a record of nearly $1.5 trillion in 2020. This is up a staggering 37% from 2017, when the CDC last measured the cost.
A Competitive Edge with Probudur
Virpax's pain management drug candidate and lead product candidate, Probudur, has what's known as "stickiness," the company says, meaning that in preclinical studies it lasts longer than rivals' products.
Probudur is a local anesthetic that binds to the sodium channel, preventing pain signals from reaching the brain. In preclinical studies, Probudur has shown long duration pain control for at least 96 hours, with a rat incisional model demonstrating analgesia for up to five days and in vitro studies demonstrating a slow release of bupivacaine that lasted for up to six days.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS
Animal studies demonstrated 96 hours of local anesthetic activity at wound site
May eliminate the need for opioids after surgery!
May reduce associated costs and length of hospital stay
Produced no evidence of motor or sensory nerve damage at a dose that was 10 times higher than free bupivacaine in animal studies
NEW DRUG APPLICATION (NDA)
As a result of the company's PreIND review, the FDA has indicated that it is reasonable for Virpax to pursue an accelerated 505(b)(2) New Drug Application for Probudur.
Study Results
A minipig Dose Range Finding ("DRF") study for Probudur was conducted to evaluate the tolerance of Probudur in an incisional wound healing model in minipigs. Probudur was injected locally into the tissue surrounding the incision area. All of the minipigs demonstrated positive tolerance to Probudur and no adverse effects were noted. The development program for Probudur continues to support the Company's belief that Probudur has the potential to provide both immediate and sustained pain relief at the incisional area.
"These positive study results in our pharmacokinetics and safety studies for Probudur and continue to demonstrate both immediate relief as well as sustained relief at the wound site," stated Jatinder Dhaliwal, Chief Executive Officer of Virpax. "The completion of these studies brings us another step closer to filing our Investigational New Drug Application (IND) for Probudur."

Targeting the Brain to Manage CNS Disorders
The company's patented Molecular Envelope Technology (MET) platform is being used to grow our Central Nervous System (CNS) disorder pipeline. The current CNS product indications include Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PES200), and Rare Pediatric Epilepsy (NobrXiol).
MET will significantly improve our drug delivery process characteristics by directly targeting the brain to manage CNS disorder symptoms.
Virpax is collaborating with the National Advisory Neurological Disorders and Stroke Council (NINDS) and Epilepsy Therapy Screening Program (ETSP) to begin preclinical development of NobrXiol for the treatment of pediatric epilepsy. The mission of ETSP is to identify novel agents that may address unmet medical needs in epilepsy.
What is Forbes Saying?
"Few investors have the scientific background to assess whether a fledgling biotech firm has the stuff to go on to glory. But some signals point to which could be the most promising, such as grants they have received and high-level outside interest. An example of that is Virpax Pharmaceuticals, which focuses on pain management—and does so without the addictive aspect of opioids. The company has received grants from the National Institutes of Health and the Pentagon. The U.S. Army is studying the use of one of its drugs for battlefield wounds and other injuries."
