Clinical pipeline momentum The company is progressing Halneuron a selective sodium channel blocker for chemotherapy induced neuropathic pain and other pain indications, with SP16 advancing toward a phase 1b study funded by the National Cancer Institute. This demonstrates a robust near-term clinical timeline that can attract sponsors for late-stage studies, investigator-initiated trials, or joint funding opportunities.
