Cen­trex­ion eyes $70M-$80M in IPO with big plans for PhI­II non-opi­oid painkiller

With both of Cen­trex­ion’s Phase III reg­is­tra­tion stud­ies in full swing, Jeff Kindler is an­gling for as much as $80 mil­lion in IPO cash to tack­le a “pain cri­sis” head on — the ma­jor­i­ty of which will be spent on its lead as­set.

The Boston, MA-based com­pa­ny is of­fer­ing 5 mil­lion shares be­tween $14 and $16. At the mid­point, that would trans­late to a mar­ket val­ue of $354 mil­lion.

Un­der the lead­er­ship of Kindler, a for­mer CEO at Pfiz­er, Cen­trex­ion has burned through $125.7 mil­lion build­ing up what it calls “one of the in­dus­try’s largest pipelines of nov­el, non-opi­oid and non-ad­dic­tive, clin­i­cal-stage prod­uct can­di­dates for the treat­ment of chron­ic pain.”
