Description: SCLX Scilex Holding January 20, 2026

Scilex Holding Company (NASDAQ:SCLX) specializes in non-opioid pain-management therapies, commercializing three FDA-approved products: ZTlido (1.8 % lidocaine topical system) for post-herpetic neuralgia, ELYXYB oral solution for acute migraine, and GLOPERBA liquid colchicine for gout-flare prophylaxis.

The pipeline includes three late-stage candidates: SP-102 (SEMDEXA), a dexamethasone viscous gel for epidural injection that has finished a Phase 3 trial in sciatica; SP-103, a 5.4 % lidocaine topical system targeting chronic neck and low-back pain with Phase 2 data; and SP-104, a low-dose delayed-release naltrexone capsule for fibromyalgia that completed Phase 1. Development partnerships with Oishi/Itochu (lidocaine tapes) and Lifecore Biomedical (clinical-trial manufacturing) support these programs.

From a market perspective, the U.S. non-opioid chronic-pain segment is estimated at > $10 billion and growing at roughly 5 % CAGR, while Scilex’s Q2 2024 revenue of $8.2 million reflects a 27 % YoY increase, giving the firm a cash runway of about 14 months at current burn rates.
