Founded in 1994, the company has created 2PX, a pharmaceutical formulation designed for topical administration, which has demonstrated effectiveness in treating both nociceptive and neuropathic pain. The development of 2PX is grounded in the use of non-radioactive strontium as the active ingredient, which has shown strong local analgesic effects in various pain conditions and has not been associated with significant adverse effects. Phase I safety and pharmacology studies indicated low systemic bioavailability and only minor side effects at the application site. The product has successfully completed open label Phase II clinical trials, proving its strong analgesic effect, particularly in patients with osteoarthritis. These results have been further corroborated by placebo-controlled trials, which confirmed that 2PX provides a statistically superior analgesic effect compared to placebo treatments.
