2025-09-17Change from report: +65.3%1M: +29.8%3M: +51.8%
Trevi Therapeutics (TRVI) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing its sole asset, Haduvio (oral nalbuphine ER), as a first-in-class treatment for chronic cough in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Refractory Chronic Cough (RCC)βconditions with no approved therapies in the U.S. The drug demonstrated strong efficacy in Phase 2 trials (CORAL for IPF and RIVER for RCC), showing significant cough reduction and a manageable safety profile. With a cash runway extending into 2029 following a recent $115 million financing, the company is well-positioned to advance into Phase 3 trials starting in H1 2026. Despite promising clinical and financial de-risking, investment carries significant risks due to its single-asset focus, potential Phase 3 failure, and commercialization challenges. A "Buy" recommendation is advised for high-risk, long-term investors, given the asymmetric upside potential.
