Clear Scientific Featured in Bloomberg on Treatment of Fentanyl, Meth & Multiple Drug Overdose

Cambridge, MA | February 2023

Clear Scientific was featured in this @BloombergLaw article on promising therapies for treating drug overdose. We are developing sequestrant-based therapeutics to address critical unmet needs to treat overdose from methamphetamine, fentanyl and their combination. There is currently no FDA-approved treatment for meth overdose. Overdose is an epidemic, with more than 1,000,000 emergency department visits and 100,000 deaths per year in the US. Of particular concern is the explosion of fentanyl-laced counterfeit prescription pills containing a potentially lethal amount of fentanyl, which is disproportionately and indiscriminately killing teenagers and young adults. #substanceusedisorder #methamphetamine #fentanyl #polysubstance #polydrug #overdose #OnePillCanKill
