– Filing supported by positive Phase 3 APOLLO and ATHENA studies –
CHESTERBROOK, PA, USA I November 02, 2017 I Trevena, Inc. (NASDAQ:TRVN) today announced that it has recently submitted its New Drug Application (NDA) for OLINVOTM (oliceridine injection) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). OLINVO is the first G protein biased ligand of the mu opioid receptor, a new class of opioid receptor modulator, and the first pain program to receive Breakthrough Therapy designation from the FDA.
The submission includes data showing that intravenous OLINVO demonstrated analgesic efficacy in all three dosing regimens tested in the two Phase 3 APOLLO pivotal efficacy studies. These trials were designed to support an indication for the management of moderate-to-severe acute pain in adult patients for whom an intravenous opioid is warranted.
The filing also includes safety and tolerability data for over 1,100 patients administered OLINVO across Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, including the ATHENA open label safety study. Additional pharmacokinetic data, clinical pharmacology data, and results from five randomized controlled trials with head to head comparisons to morphine support potential differentiation of OLINVO.
“OLINVO was designed to fill a major gap in the set of medicines available for managing moderate to severe pain in the hospital,” said Maxine Gowen, Ph.D., chief executive officer. “Despite availability of non-opioid analgesics and advances in multimodal analgesia, tens of millions of patients still require IV opioids following surgery, during severe illness, or after trauma. Millions of these patients remain at risk for opioid-related adverse events, including respiratory depression or postoperative vomiting. We look forward to working with the FDA during the review process and to a potential NDA approval of OLINVO in 2018.”
About OLINVO™ (oliceridine injection)
OLINVO is a next generation IV analgesic for the management of moderate-to-severe acute pain in the hospital and similar settings and has been granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA. OLINVO was specifically designed to improve conventional opioid pharmacology to deliver the pain-reducing potential of an opioid but with fewer associated adverse effects via its biased ligand mechanism of action. In Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials, OLINVO provided rapid and powerful analgesic efficacy while demonstrating a wider therapeutic window compared to morphine, suggesting it may be highly effective and well-tolerated for patients in need of strong analgesia. OLINVO is an investigational product and has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency. The Company expects OLINVO to be a Schedule II controlled substance.
