Notes

Trevena is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel G protein-biased ligands for the treatment of serious central nervous system (CNS) disorders. The company is publicly traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol TRVN and is headquartered in Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania.

G protein-biased ligands are a novel class of therapeutics that selectively activate beneficial signaling pathways while minimizing activation of pathways associated with side effects. This approach has particular promise for:

  • Pain management (reducing opioid side effects)
  • CNS disorders
  • Other conditions where traditional receptor targeting has limitations

Trevena's lead product OLINVYK (oliceridine) is an FDA-approved IV opioid for moderate to severe acute pain in adults.
