The drug targets the NaV 1.7 sodium channel and represents a potential opioid-free, addiction-free treatment for the $1.5B worldwide CINP market.
Halneuron® has demonstrated promising results in previous trials, showing statistically significant reduction in cancer-related pain with an acceptable safety profile. The drug has been tested in over 700 patients across Phase 1 and 2 studies, showing no addiction potential.
The company aims to recruit 100 CINP patients by Q4 2025, with an interim analysis planned for the same quarter. The adaptive trial design allows for potential study modifications to optimize outcomes.

The company plans to announce interim data from its ongoing Halneuron® Phase 2b trial in chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP) in Q4 2025.

The conversion demonstrates CKLS's confidence in Halneuron®, a first-in-class NaV 1.7 specific voltage gated sodium channel inhibitor being developed for chronic and acute pain treatment. The financing, initially provided in October 2024, ensures capital for patient recruitment through a planned interim assessment of the ongoing Phase 2b CINP (chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain) trial in Q4 2025.
Each preferred share will be convertible into 10,000 common shares, subject to stockholder and Nasdaq approval. Notably, Halneuron® has shown promising results in previous trials, demonstrating significant reduction in cancer-related pain across 700+ patients with no addiction potential.
