Approval is based on data obtained from two bridging trials conducted in China, as well as on US clinical data.

The findings from the bridging trials showed that Olinvyk’s tolerability, safety and pharmacokinetic profile in Chinese patients were consistent with those observed in other Olinvyk clinical trials.

Jiangsu Nhwa now has rights to develop and commercialise Olinvyk in China under an exclusive licence agreement.

Trevena will receive a $3m milestone payment from Jiangsu Nhwa and is also eligible to receive an additional $15m on the first commercial sales of Olinvyk in China, based on ex-US royalty-based financing with the R-Bridge Healthcare Fund.
