Ahead of the Pain Therapeutics Conference, SMi Group caught up with Andrea Small-Howard, President and Chief Science Officer, GB Sciences Inc to talk about her challenges, upcoming projects and breakthroughs within the pain therapeutics industry. See below an excerpt of the interview:

What do you see as the greatest challenge for you to overcome personally in the pain therapeutics field at the moment?

I believe that novel delivery methods combined with new therapeutic targets will be the key to better pain management solutions, especially for chronic pain. We are working on an oral, time-released delivery system for our lipophilic active ingredients. Our drug prototypes are performing well in animal trials, but there is a lot of work to be done to get them ready for the clinic!

What current hot topic will you be addressing in your presentation and what would you say makes it relevant to 2022?

I will be addressing both the use of novel plant-inspired mixtures of API and novel delivery (as discussed above). The API target more than one of the TRP channel receptors, and we believe that a polypharmaceutical approach has certain advantages in the pain field.

How would you like to see the market develop in the future and where do you think the biggest growth area will be in 2022?

In 2022, I believe that new digital technologies will continue to influence new therapies and how we monitor them. This is good news for the pain therapy market as digital transformations have helped with other human challenges.
