Stayble Therapeutics is developing a novel treatment for chronic low back pain (cLBP) triggered by disc degeneration. The lead product of the company, STA-363 is an injectable formulation of lactic acid along with a contrast agent to assure accurate injection. STA-363 is administered via the intradiscal route and it transforms the disc into dense connective tissue. The transformation restricts synthesis and leakage of pro-inflammatory agents and re-stabilizes the intervertebral segment. STA-363 is in a clinical phase Ib study for cLBP in Sweden.
