US-based AcelRx (Nasdaq: ACRX) believes that its lead investigational compound ARX-04 has the potential to generate over $1 billion in revenue in the US.

The Californian specialty pharma company, which is focused on developing new sublingual pain medications, announced recently that ARX-04 will be marketed as Dsuvia in the US, pending Food and Drug Administration approval of a recently filed New Drug Application.

ARX-04 consists of 30mcg of sufentanil in very small tablets, delivered via a disposable, pre-filled, single-dose applicator. The drug is being developed for the treatment of moderate-to-severe pain in clinical settings.
