RE:RE:Eupraxia Pharmaceuticals Inc. Completes Initial Public Offer yes, an injection...
Corticosteroids are one of the few therapeutics recommended by the American College of Rheumatology (“ACR”).2 EP-104IAR is an investigational intra-articular (“IA”) treatment that aims to leverage the potent anti-inflammatory activity of an established corticosteroid (fluticasone propionate or “FP”) and combines it with Eupraxia’s patented delivery technology to potentially deliver drug steadily for up to six months. Through a combination of local delivery and carefully modulated drug release, EP-104IAR has the potential to be the first steroid that combines rapid onset and long-duration pain relief with minimal side effects and no impact on cartilage. If successful, EP-104IAR has the capacity to change the treatment paradigm for knee OA – both penetrating and expanding the currently addressable market. EP-104IAR is currently poised to enter Phase 2 development. We have an open IND with the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the ability to use the FDA’s 505(b)(2) approval pathway. We are not required to wait for any approvals from the FDA to start the Phase 2 study in the US. Consequently, EP-104IAR offers potentially less regulatory risk than a new chemical entity.

In addition to EP-104IAR, Eupraxia is developing a pipeline of earlier-stage long-acting formulations. Potential pipeline candidates include a range of drugs for indications such as post-surgical pain (EP-105), and post-surgical site infections (EP-201), each designed to improve on the activity and tolerability of approved drugs. Eupraxia is also developing a formulation of EP-104IAR for use in canine and equine osteoarthritis.

This is an injection - looks like a steroid to me but I can't tell.
Not a concern for our product - IMO.
