Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated announced important advancements across its suzetrigine pain program, which has the potential to be the first new class of medicine for acute and neuropathic pain in more than two decades. Suzetrigine is an oral selective NaV1.8 pain signal inhibitor (formerly known as VX-548)

Following the positive Phase III results in acute pain announced in January 2024, the FDA has granted a rolling New Drug Application (NDA) submission for suzetrigine in moderate-to-severe acute pain. Vertex has started the rolling submission process and is on track to complete the submission in the second quarter of 2024. Suzetrigine was previously granted FDA Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy designations in moderate-to-severe acute pain.
