Competitive Landscape
Frenelle competes in the long-acting injectable drug delivery space against established platform companies (e.g., Alkermes, MedinCell) and large pharma with internal capabilities. In sciatica, it faces competition from steroids, NSAIDs, and novel neuromodulators. In substance use disorders, it competes with existing LAIs like Sublocade (buprenorphine) and Vivitrol (naltrexone). Differentiation will rely on Faros™'s specific performance profile and successful clinical outcomes.
