About PF614

PF614 is a Trypsin Activated Abuse Protected (TAAP^TM) product designed as a delayed onset extended-release oxycodone prodrug. TAAP^TM chemical modification inactivates the active ingredient in Ensysce's products including PF614 until they are swallowed. This provides abuse deterrence, resistance to manipulation and other forms of recreational drug abuse, while providing a high degree of pain relief for those who require opioid analgesics for 24/7 round-the-clock severe pain.
