I saw in my news feed yesterday that the FDA has now approved it. The article said that it is expected to be very helpful for acute pain after surgery (so that doctors don’t have to prescribe opioids) but possible less effective for chronic pain. If I can find the article again I’ll post the link.

Yes the phase 2 trial was inconclusive. It was a very badly designed trial. Vertex is hoping to start a phase 3 trial with a better design. I, based only on my judgement and all the research I I could do, believe it will be successful...again only my best guess. I plan to try it for my chronic pain....yes i'll be a guinea pig...but it will either help or not help. The side effect profile was excellent albeit it was only reported for 3 months.
