NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Trevi Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRVI) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing an investigational therapy Haduvio™ (nalbuphine ER). Today, Trevi announced financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, as well as provided business updates.
Positive interim results in P2 CANAL and top-line data expected in PRISM in 2Q with enrollment concluded in both trials"We have made considerable progress on our two development programs with positive interim analysis results from our Phase 2 CANAL study for the treatment of chronic cough in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and the completion of enrollment in our Phase 2b/3 PRISM study for the treatment of pruritus due to prurigo nodularis (PN)," said Jennifer L. Good, President and CEO of Trevi Therapeutics. "We were very pleased to see the strong magnitude of response and consistent results of Haduvio in the interim analysis for chronic cough in IPF. These results further support our belief in the overall mechanism of Haduvio and the potential to treat both chronic cough and chronic pruritus in various conditions. Chronic cough in IPF and pruritus in PN are both serious and debilitating conditions with no currently approved therapies and each of them potentially represents a significant opportunity to address an unmet need in the market."
Key Business Updates
- Positive interim analysis results from the Phase 2 CANAL trial of Haduvio for chronic cough in patients with IPF
- The interim analysis was statistically significant on the primary endpoint demonstrating a 52% placebo-adjusted reduction in the geometric mean percent change in daytime cough events (p<0.0001) for Haduvio
- Due to the magnitude of response in the interim analysis, enrollment concluded early and top-line data for the full set of approximately 40 subjects is expected in the third quarter of 202
- Phase 2b/3 PRISM trial of Haduvio for severe pruritus in patients with PN
- Completed enrollment on January 31, 2022
- Top-line data readout expected in the second quarter of 2022
Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights
Research and development (R&D) expenses: R&D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $6.2 million compared to $6.6 million in the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to decreased purchases of clinical trial supplies. This decrease was partially offset by increased activity in the Company's Phase 2 CANAL clinical trial as well as an increase in personnel-related expenses due to increased employee headcount.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses: G&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $2.1 million compared to $2.6 million in the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to decreased market research costs.
Net loss: For the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company reported a net loss of $8.5 million, compared to a net loss of $9.5 million in the same period in 2020.
Year End 2021 Financial Highlights
Cash position: As of December 31, 2021, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $36.8 million.
R&D expenses: R&D expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $23.0 million compared to $22.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel-related expenses due to increased employee headcount, including a related increase in stock-based compensation. Costs associated with clinical trials also increased along with consulting and professional fees. These increases were partially offset by decreased purchases of clinical trial supplies.
G&A expenses: G&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $9.5 million compared to $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to decreased market research costs as well as lower stock-based compensation expense as a result of employee turnover, which was partially offset by higher legal and other professional fees.
Net loss: For the year ended December 31, 2021, Trevi reported a net loss of $33.9 million compared to a net loss of $32.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

About Trevi Therapeutics, Inc.
Trevi Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of the investigational therapy Haduvio to treat serious neurologically mediated conditions. Trevi is conducting a Phase 2b/3 clinical trial of Haduvio for the treatment of chronic pruritus associated with prurigo nodularis (PN) and a Phase 2 trial for chronic cough in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). These conditions share a common pathophysiology that is mediated through opioid receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Founded in 2011, Trevi Therapeutics is headquartered in New Haven, CT.
About Haduvio
Haduvio, an investigational therapy, is an oral extended-release (ER) formulation of nalbuphine. Nalbuphine is a mixed ĸ-opioid receptor agonist and µ-opioid receptor antagonist that has been approved and marketed as an injectable for pain indications for more than 20 years in the United States and Europe. The ĸ- and µ-opioid receptors are known to be critical mediators of itch, cough and certain movement disorders. Nalbuphine's mechanism of action may also mitigate the risk of abuse associated with µ-opioid agonists because it antagonizes, or blocks, µ-opioid receptors. Parenteral nalbuphine is not currently classified as a controlled substance by the DEA in the United States or by regulatory authorities in most of Europe. Trevi intends to propose Haduvio as the trade name for nalbuphine ER. Nalbuphine ER (Haduvio) is an investigational therapy that has been granted Fast Track designation by the FDA for the proposed indication of reduction of moderate to severe pruritus in patients with prurigo nodularis. Its safety and efficacy have not been evaluated by any regulatory authority.
