Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Relative Change from Baseline in 24-hour Cough Frequency at Week 14 for NAL ER Compared With Placebo
Baseline, Week 14
Relative Change from Baseline in 24-hour Cough Frequency at Week 26
Baseline, Week 26
Percentage of Participants With ≥ 4- Point Decrease in 7-day Average Worst Itch - Numerical Rating Scale (WI-NRS) up to Week 14
Baseline up to Week 14

The NRS is a patient related outcome (PRO) instrument, designed to quantify the intensity of worst itching experienced during a 24-hour period, and can be applied and validated either with reference to the average itch or to the absolute worst itch (WI-NRS) over that 24-hour period. WI-NRS is a set of boxes, one for each number, from 0 (no itching) to 10 (worst possible itching). Higher scores indicate worst itching experience. Responder was defined as a participant with a ≥4-point decrease in the 7-day average WI-NRS from baseline to Week 14.

Overall Incidence and Nature of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
50 weeks

Incidence of adverse events is calculated based on events observed on or after the date of first dose, where incidence is defined as the number of subjects who reported one or more events of a particular adverse event divided by the number of subjects who received at least one dose of investigational product. Overall incidence is the proportion of subjects who had one or more adverse events of any type and nature pertains to the incidence of individual events coded by MedDRA nomenclature. An additional consideration was to evaluate incidence of adverse events by dose achieved but this was not done as subjects achieved a maximum dose during the study that varied and, per protocol, dosing could be modified per the investigator, during the course of this extension to TR03. In addition, TR03EXT involved a dose titration whereas events could have been reported well before a subject achieved some partciular dose level. Consequently, such a presentation would have been impossible to discern.

Change From Baseline to the Evaluation Visit (Week 10) in Itch on the 0-10 Numerical Rating Scale
Baseline, Week 10

The number of subjects who reported at least a 30% reduction from baseline to Week 10, expressed as a percentage of subjects in the particular arm/group who were evaluated,

Number and Percetage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
24 weeks

Change From Baseline to the Evaluation Period in Itch on the 0-10 Itch Numerical Rating Scale
8 weeks

The evaluation period was defined as the average itch score over weeks 7 and 8 following initiation of treatment. A negative change form baseline (Evaluation Period - Baseline) signified inmprovement.

Relative Change From Baseline in 24-hour Cough Frequency at Week 6
Baseline, Week 6
Relative Change From Baseline in 24-hour Cough Frequency at Day 21
Baseline, Day 21

Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Up to Day 72

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A TEAE was defined as any AE that occurs after the first dose of study drug. TEAEs included both serious and non-serious TEAEs.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Laboratory Parameters

Up to Day 72

Physical examination included examination of the following body systems: general appearance, eyes, ears, nose, throat, head and neck, chest and lungs, cardiovascular, abdomen, musculoskeletal, lymphatic, dermatological, neurological, and extremities. Clinical significance was determined by the investigator.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormalities in 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Up to Day 72

Changes in ECG data such as heart rate, rhythm, and other clinically significant abnormalities (left ventricular hypertrophy, pathological Q-waves) were measured. Clinical significance was determined by the investigator.

Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Day 21
Baseline, Day 21

Spirometry was used to assess FVC. It was used to assess pulmonary breathing mechanics.

Subjective Opiate Withdrawal (SOWS) Total Raw Score
Up to Day 72

The SOWS is a self-administered scale for grading opioid withdrawal symptoms and was collected via the study issued e-diary. It consisted of 16 symptoms related to how the participant felt. Each symptom was scored between 0 to 4. The total score ranges between 0 to 64, higher score indicates more severe symptoms.

Daytime Cough Frequency at Baseline
At Baseline

Daytime cough was defined as cough that occurs between the time that the participant is a wake in the 24 hours after the digital cough monitor was applied for use. Assessment was done using objective digital cough monitoring. Baseline was defined as the last available assessment prior to the first Treatment Period 1 IP intake.

Percent Change From Baseline in Daytime Cough Frequency at Day 22
Baseline, Day 22

Daytime cough was defined as cough that occurs between the time that the participant is a wake in the 24 hours after the digital cough monitor was applied for use. Assessment was done using objective digital cough monitoring. Percent change in daytime cough frequency (coughs per hour) from baseline was assessed. Baseline was defined as the last available assessment prior to the first Treatment Period 1 IP intake.

Frequently asked questions about Haduvio (nalbuphine ER)

What is Haduvio (nalbuphine ER) used for?

Haduvio is an extended-release oral formulation of nalbuphine being studied for chronic cough associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and for refractory chronic cough. It is also being evaluated in hepatic impairment and has been studied in uremic pruritus and prurigo nodularis. It is an investigational product and has not been approved for these uses.

Who makes Haduvio?

Haduvio is being developed by Trevi Therapeutics, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker TRVI. Trevi is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating nalbuphine extended-release tablets across cough and pruritus indications.

What phase is Haduvio in?

Haduvio is in clinical development, with Phase 3 trials currently recruiting in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis-related chronic cough and a Phase 2 trial recruiting in refractory chronic cough. A Phase 1 respiratory function and safety study in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has been completed. The program overall is listed at Phase 1, and the product is investigational.

What clinical trials is Haduvio in?

Recruiting studies include NCT07671911 and NCT07868419, both Phase 3 trials of nalbuphine extended-release tablets in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis-related chronic cough, and NCT07671924, a Phase 2 trial in refractory chronic cough. The completed Phase 1 NAL ER IPF respiratory function and safety study is NCT07036029.

Is Haduvio the same as nalbuphine?

Yes. Haduvio is the brand name for nalbuphine extended-release, also written as nalbuphine ER, NAL ER, or nalbuphine HCl ER. Other names used for the same asset include nalbuphine, nalbuphine HCl solution, and nalbuphine HCl ER tablets at 60 mg and 90 mg twice daily.

How many patients are enrolled in Haduvio trials?

Across the Haduvio clinical program, 723 participants are enrolled in five trials. Three of those trials are completed and two are active and recruiting. The studies are uncontrolled, without randomization or double blinding, and enrollment includes adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or refractory chronic cough.
