Pear Therapeutics Wins Fierce Innovation Life Science Award for reSET® Prescription Digital TherapeuticPear Therapeutics, the leader in prescription digital therapeutics, has won a Fierce Innovation Award in the Digital Health Solution category for reSET®, the first FDA-cleared prescription digital therapeutic to treat any disease. In randomized clinical studies, reSET demonstrated improvement in the outcomes of abstinence and treatment retention in patients with substance use disorder (SUD). Pear was also selected as "Best in Show" for Best Outsourcing Partner. "We are honored to be acknowledged by our peers," said Corey McCann, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Pear Therapeutics. "Prescription digital therapeutics represent an entirely new treatment modality to treat diseases with high unmet medical needs. Looking forward, we see a clinically-validated and regulated approach becoming standard for any digital therapeutic intended to treat disease." reSET is a 12-week duration, FDA-cleared prescription digital therapeutic to be used in conjunction with standard outpatient treatment for SUD. It has demonstrated increased abstinence from a patient's substances of abuse during treatment and increased patient retention in the outpatient treatment program, when compared to current standard of care treatments. Pear's product pipeline also includes reSET-O™, which recently received an Expedited Access Pathway (EAP) designation, now known as the Breakthrough Devices Program, from the FDA. reSET-O is poised to be the first prescription digital therapeutic to be used as an adjunct to pharmacotherap designed to treat opioid use disorder. The company is also advancing its pipeline across other serious medical conditions including schizophrenia (Thrive™), combat post-traumatic stress disorder (reCALL™), general anxiety disorder (reVIVE™), pain, major depressive disorder and insomnia.
