AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 20, 2016 -- Pain Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq

Pain Therapeutics is committed to working with the FDA to gain regulatory approval of REMOXY ER. During its upcoming meeting with the FDA, the Company plans to open a scientific dialogue around the intranasal (snorting) route of abuse. REMOXY ER is a gel formulation that is not suitable for deep inhalation. The Company believes REMOXY ER’s thick, sticky, high-viscosity drug mass is a key feature of its abuse deterrent properties, recognizing that no drug can be made abuse-proof.
About REMOXY ER (extended-release oxycodone capsules CII)
REMOXY ER is a proprietary, abuse-deterrent, extended-release oral formulation of oxycodone. The proposed indication for this drug candidate is for "the management of pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment and for which alternative treatment options are inadequate." We developed REMOXY ER to make oxycodone difficult to abuse yet provide 12 hours of steady pain relief when used appropriately by patients. In particular, REMOXY ER’s thick, sticky, high-viscosity gel formulation may deter unapproved routes of drug administration, such as injection, snorting or smoking. REMOXY ER targets the multi-billion marketplace for long-acting oxycodone.

About Opioid Abuse
Opioid drugs such as oxycodone are an important treatment option for patients with severe chronic pain. However, oxycodone abuse and diversion remains a serious, persistent problem. Nearly 19,000 people died from opioid overdose in 2014, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. For over a decade, Pain Therapeutics has pioneered Abuse-Deterrent Formulations (ADFs) to help in the fight against prescription drug abuse. ADFs attempt to raise the bar on prescription drug abuse by making it difficult, longer or aversive to tamper with long-acting opioid formulations, recognizing that no drug can be made abuse-proof.
