TRVN Trevena Inc

 Trevena, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRVN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel medicines for patients with Central Nervous System (CNS) conditions, today provided an update on the activities to support resubmission of the New Drug Application (NDA) for oliceridine.

The Company has completed enrollment for the ongoing healthy volunteer QT study and remains on track to support topline data readout in the fourth quarter of 2019.  

In addition, the Company has completed the necessary nonclinical work to further characterize the 9662 inactive metabolite.  As agreed to with FDA, the Company has generated reproducible pharmacokinetic data using validated bioanalytical methods that demonstrate acceptable levels of exposure to the metabolite in nonclinical species. 

Lastly, the Company has finished the outstanding drug product validation reports identified in the Complete Response Letter (CRL), which will be included in the NDA resubmission package. 

 “We continue to make steady progress on all fronts to gather the information needed to resubmit the NDA for oliceridine,” said Carrie Bourdow, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “I am pleased that we have finished the work to address three of the four items outlined in the CRL.  Once we receive topline data for the healthy volunteer QT study, which we are on schedule to report next quarter, we look forward to resubmitting the NDA as early as possible in the first quarter of next year.”
