"I am proud of the clinical and financial progress we have made over the past year, positioning Trevi for an exciting year ahead.

- The Company anticipates conducting the following clinical studies in 2023:
- A Phase 2 dose-ranging study of Haduvio for the treatment of chronic cough in IPF is expected to initiate in the second quarter of 2023. The Company expects that the study will evaluate three active doses and placebo with the goal of informing the potential Phase 3 program.

About Haduvio
Haduvio, an investigational therapy, is an oral extended-release (ER) formulation of nalbuphine. Nalbuphine is a mixed ĸ-opioid receptor agonist and µ-opioid receptor antagonist that has been approved and marketed as an injectable for pain indications for more than 20 years in the United States and Europe. The ĸ- and µ-opioid receptors are centrally and peripherally active and known to be critical mediators of cough and itch. Nalbuphine's mechanism of action may also mitigate the risk of abuse associated with µ-opioid agonists because it antagonizes, or blocks, µ-opioid receptors. Parenteral nalbuphine is not currently scheduled as a controlled substance by the DEA in the United States or by regulatory authorities in most of Europe. Trevi intends to propose Haduvio as the trade name for nalbuphine ER. Its safety and efficacy have not been evaluated by any regulatory authority.
