Trevi Therapeutics concluded enrolment early in the Phase II CANAL trial of Haduvio (nalbuphine ER) to treat chronic cough in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The decision to conclude comes after the company previously revealed statistically significant efficacy interim assessment data from the trial.
The interim analysis was carried out on 26 trial subjects, validating the proof of concept. Nearly 40 participants were enrolled in the trial.

On the primary efficacy endpoint, treatment with Haduvio offered a 77.3% decline in the frequency of daytime cough from baseline versus a 25.7% decline in the placebo arm.
This interim data indicated a 52% placebo-adjusted decline in the geometric mean percent change in the frequency of daytime cough.
The trial centres were alerted to enrol eligible subjects who were being screened without needing further recruitment.
Trevi anticipates efficacy and safety data from the full set of participants in the third quarter of this year.
