Its platforms include the Trypsin Activated Abuse Protection (TAAP) platform, an abuse-resistant opioid prodrug technology, and the Multi-Pill Abuse Resistant (MPAR) platform, which combines TAAP prodrugs with nafamostat to limit bioavailability after co-ingestion of multiple doses. Its lead product candidate, PF614, is a TAAP oxycodone prodrug under development for acute or chronic pain. A Phase 1 single ascending dose trial in 64 healthy subjects showed that PF614 was well tolerated with no serious adverse events. The PF614-MPAR combination was granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA in January 2024. A second study, PF614-MPAR-102, designed to evaluate overdose protection across a range of dosages, began enrolling in December 2024. The company describes its primary focus as opioid pain products and opioid use disorder products, and says it has three clinical-stage product candidates. | Product or program | What it is | Stage | |---|---|---| | PF614 | TAAP oxycodone prodrug for acute or chronic pain | clinical-stage | | PF614-MPAR | PF614 combined with nafamostat for overdose protection | Breakthrough Therapy designation | Summarised from the company's [10-K filed Mar 30, 2026](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1716947/000149315226013633/form10-k.htm). ## Ensysce Biosciences annual financials | Line | FY2025 | FY2024 | |---|---|---| | Revenue | [$5.1 million](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1716947/000149315226013633/) | [$5.2 million](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1716947/000149315226013633/) | | Research and development | [$10.4 million](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1716947/000149315226013633/) | [$7.2 million](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1716947/000149315226013633/) | | Cash from operations | [-$7.8 million](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1716947/000149315226013633/) | [-$7.5 million](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1716947/000149315226013633/) | | Cash and equivalents | [$4.3 million](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1716947/000149315226037817/) | [$3.5 million](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1716947/000149315226013633/) | Latest balance sheet, Jun 30, 2026 (10-Q): cash and equivalents $676,704.
