Competitive Landscape
EP-104 competes in a crowded knee OA space against standard corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid injections, and novel systemic therapies. Its most direct competitor is the approved extended-release steroid Zilretta; differentiation will require superior duration, safety, or efficacy data. The platform's localized approach offers a potential safety advantage over systemic candidates.
