Trevena, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of medicines for patients with central nervous system (CNS) disorders. The Company has one approved product in the United States, OLINVYK (oliceridine) injection, indicated in adults for the management of acute pain severe enough to require an intravenous opioid analgesic and for whom alternative treatments are inadequate.
