During the Phase 2a proof-of-concept trial evaluating ETX-810 inchronic lumbosacral radicular pain (LSRP), 149 patients are enrolled at sites across the United States.

Bob Azelby, Eliem's president and chief executive officer, said, "We are pleased to announce that we have dosed the last patient in our Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating ETX-810 in patients with LSRP, which is a large, underserved market where a significant percentage of patients treated with standard of care are inadequately relieved of their pain.”

The company is planning to report topline clinical data from the Phase 2a trail in the third quarter of 2022 and an investor event ahead of the data to discuss the opportunity for ETX-810 for the treatment of LSRP.
