Innovations to reduce suffering.

Opioid overdose is the #1 cause of death for U.S. adults ages 18-45.

What if there was a more effective rescue agent than Narcan® against synthetic opioid (e.g., fentanyl) overdose?

Elysium has pioneered SMART™ drugs, safer opioids and more effective rescue agents, that can save countless lives.

Establishing new safety standards in the pharmaceutical industry.

In Greek mythology, Elysium is a place free of suffering, where pain does not exist. Our vision is to develop SMART (Safer Medicines that Alleviate Risks and Trauma) products that improve the safety of existing medications with narrow therapeutic indices to protect against severe adverse events. For example, in today’s opioid crisis, there are two groups suffering: patients dealing with severe pain, and those with Opioid Use Disorder as a result of the inherent risks of opioids. Our SMART opioid human proof-of-concept data demonstrates a game-changing product profile that protects against oral overdose, reducing the risk of opioid use disorder and fatal overdose, while maintaining unmatched efficacy.
