description Eugene R Viscusi,1 Franck Skobieranda,2 David G Soergel,2 Emily Cook,2 David A Burt,2 Neil Singla3 1Department of Anesthesiology, Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA, USA; 2Trevena Inc., Chesterbrook, PA, USA; 3Lotus Clinical Research, LLC, Pasadena, CA, USA Purpose: Oliceridine is a novel G protein-biased µ-opioid receptor agonist designed to provide intravenous (IV) analgesia with a lower risk of opioid-related adverse events (ORAEs) than conventional opioids. Patients and methods: APOLLO-1 (NCT02815709) was a phase III, double-blind, randomized trial in patients with moderate-to-severe pain following bunionectomy. Patients received a loading dose of either placebo, oliceridine (1.5 mg), or morphine (4 mg), followed by demand doses via patient-controlled analgesia (0.1, 0.35, or 0.5 mg oliceridine, 1 mg morphine, or placebo). The primary endpoint compared the proportion of treatment responders through 48 hours for oliceridine regimens and placebo. Secondary outcomes included a composite measure of respiratory safety burden (RSB, representing the cumulative duration of respiratory safety events) and the proportion of treatment responders vs morphine. Results: Effective analgesia was observed for all oliceridine regimens, with responder rates of 50%, 62%, and 65.8% in the 0.1 mg, 0.35 mg, and 0.5 mg regimens, respectively (all P<0.0001 vs placebo [15.2%]; 0.35 mg and 0.5 mg non-inferior to morphine). RSB showed a ose-dependent increase across oliceridine regimens (mean hours [SD]: 0.1 mg: 0.04 [0.33]; 0.35 mg: 0.28 [1.11]; 0.5 mg: 0.8 [3.33]; placebo: 0 [0]), but none were statistically different from morphine (1.1 [3.03]). Gastrointestinal adverse events also increased in a dose-dependent manner in oliceridine regimens (0.1 mg: 40.8%; 0.35 mg: 59.5%; 0.5 mg: 70.9%; placebo: 24.1%; morphine: 72.4%). The odds ratio for rescue antiemetic use was significantly lower for oliceridine regimens compared to morphine (P<0.05). Conclusion: Oliceridine is a novel and effective IV analgesic providing rapid analgesia for the relief of moderate-to-severe acute postoperative pain compared to placebo. Additionally, it has a favorable safety and tolerability profile with regard to respiratory and gastrointestinal adverse effects compared to morphine, and may provide a new treatment option for patients with moderate-to-severe postoperative pain where an IV opioid is required.
