Adolore Biotherapeutics Inc. has announced that the FDA has granted orphan drug designation to the company’s Kv7-activating rdHSV-CA8* gene therapy for treatment of primary and secondary erythromelalgia.

Adolore Biotherapeutics Inc. has offered an update on recent pipeline development progress as it advances nonopioid analgesic gene therapies for the treatment of chronic pain.
