Powered by partnerships

Collaboration drives innovation. At Pacira, we build partnerships rooted in a shared mission to advance non-opioid pain management—uniting purpose, urgency and results to deliver transformative care for patients.

Business partnership opportunities

Pacira seeks to transform the lives of patients by delivering innovative, non-opioid pain therapies to the market. Our business development team evaluates opportunities in the musculoskeletal and pain adjacencies across two broad categories.

On-market and commercial-ready products

We’re interested in innovative assets that focus on non-opioid or opioid-sparing pain management, including products that complement our current portfolio or could gain value from our field expertise, existing partnerships and commercial infrastructure.

  • Call points span hospital, outpatient (HOPD), ambulatory surgery centers (ASC), and specialty or office settings
  • Fields include anesthesiology, orthopedics (including surgery), rheumatology, sports medicine, pain management, dental (oral and maxillofacial surgery) and plastic surgery

We’re open to the opportunity for collaboration or co-marketing as well as asset acquisition or license.

Development-stage assets with clinical data

We also seek innovative development-stage assets, with preference for later-stage assets with clinical data and proof of mechanism.

  • Strategic areas include diabetic peripheral neuropathy, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy and other types of neuropathic pain; pain adjacencies (e.g., gout, fibromyalgia); and osteoarthritis

We’re open to asset acquisition as well as collaboration based on co-development and other shared activities and investments.

We invite companies and researchers who share our purpose and sense of urgency to contact our Business Development team at [email protected] to discuss partnership opportunities.
