Trevena Presents Phase 1 Data on TRV250 for Acute Migraine at American College of Neuropsychopharmacology 2019 Annual Meeting
Safety, tolerability, and PK profile support potential utility as a novel acute migraine treatment option
CHESTERBROOK, Pa., Dec. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trevena, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRVN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel medicines for patients with central nervous system (CNS) disorders, today announced a poster presentation at the 58th Annual Meeting of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP), in Orlando, FL. The poster presentation featured results from a Phase 1 first-in-human study that evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of TRV250, the Company’s novel G protein-selective delta-receptor agonist being developed for the acute treatment of migraine.
TRV250 was well-tolerated up to 30 mg, with a PK profile appropriate for an acute migraine therapy. There were no serious adverse events and no clinically significant changes in EEG, ECG, or other safety parameters.
“We are excited to be pursuing TRV250 as a potential new therapeutic option for migraine sufferers, many of whom struggle to achieve relief with currently available options,” said Mark A. Demitrack, M.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Trevena, Inc. “The positive data from this Phase 1 study informed our recently initiated proof-of-concept study, with topline data anticipated in the second half of next year.”

About TRV250
TRV250 is a G protein biased ligand targeting the delta receptor, with potential to be a first-in-class, non-narcotic mechanism for the treatment of migraine. TRV250 also may have utility in a range of other central nervous system indications. As a selective delta receptor modulator, TRV250 is not expected to have the abuse and addiction liability of medications targeting the mu opioid receptor. TRV250 is an investigational product and has not been approved by FDA for distribution in the US.
