Trevena, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRVN)

TRVN surged today on good news after the company announced positive results from its Phase 2b study of TRV130 in Acute Postoperative Pain. The company announced positive data from its randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled Phase 2b trial of TRV130 in moderate to severe acute postoperative pain after abdominoplasty surgery.  The study achieved its primary endpoint of statistically greater pain reduction than placebo over 24 hours.   In addition, TRV130 was superior to morphine in pre-specified secondary measures, exhibiting significantly reduced nausea, vomiting, and hypoventilation events Trevena.

 

TRVN CSO Comments

The data from this trial showed that TRV130, when given on-demand, matched morphine efficacy for pain relief with a markedly improved safety and tolerability profile,” said Neil Singla, M.D., chief scientific officer of Lotus Clinical Research and lead investigator of the study.  “The challenges of safely and adequately titrating morphine are well recognized, and these data suggest that, if approved, TRV130 may provide a better option than currently available opioid analgesics.” YahooFinance
