Pacira BioSciences Inc. (NASDAQ:PCRX) is one of the most undervalued small-cap stocks to buy according to analysts. On June 11, Pacira BioSciences announced new long-term follow-up data from its Phase 1 clinical trial of PCRX-201 (enekinragene inzadenovec), which is an investigational gene therapy for osteoarthritis of the knee.
The results were presented at the 2025 European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology/EULAR Congress in Barcelona, Spain, and showed that a single intra-articular injection of PCRX-201 was well tolerated and led to sustained improvements in pain, stiffness, and function for up to 156 weeks in patients with moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis of the knee.

PCRX-201 utilizes Pacira’s proprietary high-capacity adenovirus (HCAd) gene therapy vector platform. It works by locally injecting into the knee joint to boost cellular production of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), thereby blocking interleukin-1 pathway activation to alleviate chronic inflammation, pain, and improve function.
Pacira BioSciences Inc. (NASDAQ:PCRX) develops, manufactures, markets, distribution, and sells non-opioid pain management and regenerative health solutions to healthcare practitioners in the US.
