NEW HAVEN, Conn.,Jan. 8, 2025/PRNewswire/ --Trevi Therapeutics, Inc.(Nasdaq: TRVI), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing the investigational therapy HaduvioTM (oral nalbuphine ER) for the treatment of patients with chronic cough in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and refractory chronic cough (RCC), today announced business updates ahead of its participation in the 14thAnnual LifeSci Partners Corporate Access Event taking place inSan Francisco, CA, fromJanuary 13-15, 2025. This event takes place during the week of the annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference.
"We look forward to important readouts on our IPF chronic cough and RCC trials in the first half of the year, which follow our strong execution in 2024," saidJennifer Good, President and CEO of Trevi Therapeutics. "We ended last year with positive outcomes in both the sample size re-estimation (SSRE) analysis of the Phase2bCORAL trial in IPF patients with chronic cough and in our Human Abuse Potential study. These trials were key milestones for our IPF clinical trial and overall development program. This clinical development progress brings us closer to potentially providing a differentiated therapy to patients who suffer from chronic cough and have no approved therapies available to them in the U.S."

About Trevi Therapeutics, Inc.
Trevi Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing the investigational therapy HaduvioTM (oral nalbuphine extended-release) for the treatment of chronic cough in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and refractory chronic cough (RCC). Haduvio acts on the cough reflex arc both centrally and peripherally as a kappa agonist and a mu antagonist (KAMA), which are opioid receptors that play a key role in controlling cough hypersensitivity. Nalbuphine is not currently scheduled by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.
Chronic cough is a highly prevalent disease in IPF patients, impacting up to 85% of the IPF population. There are ~140,000 U.S. IPF patients and the impact of chronic cough is significant with patients coughing up to 1,500 times per day. This consistent cough and associated damage may lead to worsening disease, a higher risk of progression, death, or need for lung transplant. Chronic cough also often leads to a decline in patients' social, physical, and psychological quality of life. There are no approved therapies for the treatment of chronic cough in IPF and current off-label treatment options provide minimal benefit to patients.
Refractory chronic cough affects approximately 2-3 million adults in the U.S. and is caused by cough reflex hypersensitivity in both the central and peripheral nerves. It is highly disruptive and accompanied by a wide range of complications, ranging from urinary incontinence in females to sleep disruption and social embarrassment that causes significant social and economic burdens for patients and those around them. Haduvio is being developed for the treatment of moderate to severe RCC. There are also no approved therapies for RCC in the U.S.
Trevi intends to propose Haduvio as the trade name for oral nalbuphine ER. Its safety and efficacy have not been evaluated by any regulatory authority.
