NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Trevi Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRVI), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing the investigational therapy Haduvio™ (oral nalbuphine ER) for the treatment of chronic cough in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and refractory chronic cough (RCC), today announced financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2024, and provided business updates.
"Trevi had three positive and meaningful clinical data read-outs over the past few months validating the strategy of developing Haduvio as a potential best-in-class therapy for chronic cough conditions," said Jennifer Good, President and CEO of Trevi Therapeutics. "With Haduvio, we are looking to address a significant unmet need across chronic cough conditions where there are no therapies approved in the U.S. Haduvio has the unique potential to work across various chronic cough conditions due to its central and peripheral mechanism. We look forward to our expected readout of topline results for the Phase 2b CORAL trial in IPF chronic cough patients in the second quarter of this year."
Fourth Quarter and Recent Business Highlights
Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights
Research and development (R&D) expenses: R&D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased to $9.3 million from $6.5 million in the same period in 2023, primarily due to increased clinical development expenses for the Phase 2b CORAL trial, the Phase 2a RIVER trial, and the HAP study, as well as an increase in personnel-related expenses.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses: G&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased to $2.9 million from $2.4 million in the same period in 2023, primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense and personnel-related expenses.
Other income, net: Other income, net was $0.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $1.1 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower cash equivalent and marketable securities balances and lower interest rate yields.
Net loss: For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company reported a net loss of $11.4 million, compared to a net loss of $7.8 million in the same period in 2023.
Full Year 2024 Financial Highlights
R&D expenses: R&D expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $39.4 million compared to $23.7 million in 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased clinical development expenses for the Phase 2b CORAL trial, the Phase 2a RIVER trial, the HAP study, and the Phase 1b TIDAL study, as well as an increase in personnel-related expenses and stock-based compensation expense. These increases were partially offset by decreased clinical development expenses for our Phase 2b/3 PRISM trial.
G&A expenses: G&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $12.1 million compared to $10.2 million in 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel-related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, information technology service costs and market research costs.
Other income, net: Other income, net was $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $4.8 million 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest income due to lower cash equivalent and marketable securities balances.
Net loss: For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company reported a net loss of $47.9 million, compared to a net loss of $29.1 million in the same period in 2023.

About Trevi Therapeutics, Inc.
Trevi Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing the investigational therapy Haduvio™ (oral nalbuphine extended-release) for the treatment of chronic cough in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and refractory chronic cough (RCC). Haduvio is the first and only therapy in clinical development to show a statistically significant reduction in chronic cough across patients with both IPF and RCC. Haduvio acts on the cough reflex arc both centrally and peripherally as a kappa agonist and a mu antagonist (KAMA), which are opioid receptors that play a key role in controlling cough hypersensitivity. Nalbuphine is not currently scheduled by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.
Chronic cough is a highly prevalent condition in IPF patients, impacting up to 85% of the IPF population. There are ~140,000 U.S. IPF patients and the impact of chronic cough is significant with patients coughing up to 1,500 times per day. This consistent cough and any associated damage may lead to worsening disease, a higher risk of progression, death, or need for lung transplant. Chronic cough also often leads to a decline in patients' social, physical, and psychological quality of life. There are no approved therapies for the treatment of chronic cough in patients with IPF and current off-label treatment options provide minimal benefit to patients.
Refractory chronic cough has no approved therapies in the U.S. and is defined as a persistent cough lasting >8 weeks despite treatment for an underlying condition (i.e., asthma, gastroesophageal reflux disease, non-asthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis, and upper airway cough syndrome or post-nasal drip) and includes unexplained chronic cough. RCC affects ~2-3 million patients in the U.S. and is caused by cough reflex hypersensitivity in both the central and peripheral nerves. It is a highly debilitating disease and accompanied by a wide range of complications, ranging from urinary incontinence in females to sleep disruption and social embarrassment that causes significant social and economic burdens for patients and those around them.
Trevi intends to propose Haduvio as the trade name for oral nalbuphine ER. Its safety and efficacy have not been evaluated by any regulatory authority.
