BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 16, 2018 (Newswire.com) - ​​The innovative late development-stage pharmaceutical startup Bridge Therapeutics has announced they will be expanding their operations into one of the finest locations in Birmingham, Alabama.

The new headquarters at the Summit in Birmingham is currently under design by the award-winning architectural firm Chambless King Architects.

We are all excited about this next step. We hope our new headquarters will attract other businesses to the Birmingham area, and ignite new economic growth in our community.

Alton Kelley, Director of Business Development for Bridge Therapeutics

Alton Kelley, director of business development for Bridge Therapeutics, says that the pharma startup expects to move into the new headquarters in June 2018.

“Our new headquarters will bring a new energy to Bridge Therapeutics,” said Kelley. “We are all excited about this next step. We hope our new headquarters will attract other businesses to the Birmingham area, and ignite new economic growth in our community.”

John Chambless, AIA, is the lead architect behind the Bridge Therapeutics headquarter design. He said he wanted the new space to convey a sense of growth and change to investors and partners who visit there.

“This design provides an open, collaborative and professional atmosphere,” said Chambless. “From the beginning, I wanted to channel the biotech startup community and the spirit of Bridge Therapeutics to redesign the interior so it will inspire everyone who visits - from physicians to investors to stakeholders.”

Bridge Therapeutics is actively researching chronic pain alternatives to help reduce the impact of the opioid epidemic. The pharma company is currently pursuing FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA) approval of a patented drug combination for the treatment of chronic pain in opioid-experienced patients.

The Bridge Therapeutics investigational drug BT-205 is a unique combination of two chronic pain drugs — the partial-agonist opioid buprenorphine and the NSAID meloxicam — delivered in a state-of-the-art sublingual formulation. This dose-saving combination and delivery method should provide superior safety, convenience and pain relief to chronic pain sufferers than full agonist opioids.  

Bridge Therapeutics is working to bring the BT-205 compound and other investigational new drug candidates to millions of patients who suffer from chronic pain by providing a safer alternative to current opioid pain medications.
