Acute pain is common after surgery, trauma, and injury. Opioids remain an essential option when effective analgesia is required, including for service members, veterans, and civilian patients.
Conventional opioids can cause sedation, cognitive impairment, tolerance, and reward-driven misuse risks that may complicate recovery, rehabilitation, and return to function.
Amalgent is developing a fixed-dose combination designed to preserve analgesia while enabling lower opioid exposure and addressing the neurobiology of opioid reward.
A single therapy pairing an opioid with a low dose of a dopamine-modulating adjuvant
Designed to support effective pain control with less opioid exposure.
Targets reward-related dopamine signaling associated with opioid reinforcement.
Designed to reduce opioid reward while preserving analgesic effect.
Designed to address tolerance development that can drive dose escalation.
Aims to support recovery, rehabilitation, and return to function.
Clinical evidence: Effective Analgesia at Reduced Doses
Published pilot clinical data support effective analgesia at lower opioid doses.
Preclinical evidence: Opioid reward reduced to near baseline
Across three preclinical behavioral models, Amalgent technology reduced opioid reward-related behavior.
Preclinical evidence: Tolerance Development Inhibited
Preclinical studies showed inhibition of tolerance development during chronic opioid exposure.
