About Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc.
Sorrento is a clinical and commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies to treat cancer, pain (non-opioid treatments), autoimmune diseases and COVID-19. Sorrento’s multi-modal, multi-pronged approach to fighting cancer is enabled by its extensive immuno-oncology platforms, including key assets such as next-generation tyrosine kinase (“TKI”) inhibitors, fully human antibodies (“G-MAB™ library”), cell therapies (“DAR-T™”), antibody-drug conjugates (“ADCs”) and oncolytic viruses (“Seprehvec™”). Sorrento is also developing potential antiviral therapies and coronavirus vaccines, including STI-1558, COVISHIELD™ and COVIDROPS™; and diagnostic testing solutions, including COVIMARK™.
Sorrento’s commitment to therapies that improve the lives of patients is also demonstrated by our efforts to advance a non-opioid pain management small molecule (TRPV1 agonist), resiniferatoxin (“RTX”) and SP-102 (10 mg, dexamethasone sodium phosphate viscous gel) (SEMDEXA™), a new viscous gel formulation of a corticosteroid widely used for epidural injections to treat lumbosacral radicular pain or sciatica, and to market the ZTlido® (topical lidocaine system) 1.8% for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) . RTX has been cleared for a phase II trial in intractable pain associated with cancer and a phase II trial in patients with osteoarthritis. Positive final results from the CLEAR program of the pivotal Phase III trial for SEMDEXA™, its new non-opioid product for the treatment of lumbosacral radicular pain (sciatica), were announced in March 2022. ZTlido® was approved by the FDA on February 28, 2018.
