Recro Pharma, Inc. is a pharmaceutical manufacturing company focused on developing non-opioid, non-addictive treatments for acute pain, targeting hospital and ambulatory care environments. Its lead program is an injectable form of meloxicam intended for intravenous use, which has completed multiple Phase II trials and is positioned to offer rapid and sustained pain relief compared with competitive therapies. The company is also developing Dex-IN, an intranasal formulation of dexmedetomidine aimed at peri-procedural pain, following a Phase II study and FDA feedback on its risk–benefit profile. Recro operates a DEA-licensed manufacturing facility in Malvern, Pennsylvania, where it produces several commercial products and earns royalties from their sales, while continuing to advance its pipeline of non-opioid analgesics. In addition to product development, Recro has engaged in partnerships and contracts with various organizations, including NIH-related programs and other industry collaborators, to support development and manufacturing activities.
