The Company's commercial product, ZTlido (lidocaine topical system), is a prescription lidocaine topical product for relieving pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia, which is a form of post-shingles nerve pain.

Ventyx Biosciences Inc is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on advancing new therapies for millions of patients living with inflammatory diseases and autoimmune disorders. The company is developing a pipeline of novel small-molecule product candidates to address a range of inflammatory diseases. Its product candidate VTX958 is an oral, selective clinical-stage tyrosine kinase type 2 (TYK2) inhibitor designed to inhibit TYK2 without detectable inhibition of other Janus kinase (JAK) isoforms, which avoids toxicities associated with broader JAK inhibition and, thus, other JAK inhibitors.
