The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and seeks injunctive relief and damages. 'Treace Medical was the first company to develop, patent, and introduce an instrumented 3D bunion correction system for true tri-planar lapidus bunion correction and is the recognized leader in the surgical treatment of bunions.

Scilex Holding Company Announces Publication on GLOPERBA® Dosing Adjustments in Peer-Review Journal
PALO ALTO, Calif., June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scilex Holding Company (Nasdaq: SCLX, 'Scilex' or 'Company'), an innovative revenue-generating company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing non-opioid pain management products for the treatment of acute and chronic pain and neurodegenerative and cardiometabolic disease, today announced a publication on GLOPERBA® dosing adjustments in peer-review journal. GLOPERBA® is the first and only liquid oral version of the anti-gout medicine colchicine indicated for the prophylaxis of painful gout flares in adults, allowing for precision dosing and reduction of daily dose in patients with severe renal impairment. Over 70% of gout patients have comorbid conditions that may require dose adjustments. GLOPERBA® is currently manufactured in the U.S. Patients receiving the standard prophylaxis dose of colchicine for gout flares are at increased risk for developing toxicity if there are pre-existing renal impairment or drug–drug interactions. Guidelines recommend exercising caution, deferring dose adjustment to the clinician's discretion. Analysis of pharmacokinetic model data demonstrated that most patients with renal impairment taking colchicine solid dosage formulations will be below or above therapeutic levels, exposing them to potential side effects. However, more precise dosing with colchicine oral solution of 0.48 mg (4 mL) for moderate renal impairment and 0.3 mg (2.5 mL) for severe renal impairment is associated with optimal levels within therapeutic widow and greater safety. 'This important publication will provide much needed data to guide clinical dosing of colchicine in patients with gout and chronic renal failure.' – said Michael H. Pillinger, MD, Professor of Medicine and Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, Director of Rheumatology Training, NYU Clinical and Translational Science Institute.
