Drugs in Clinical Pipeline: Oliceridine | Treatment of Acute Severe Pain | G Protein-Biased μ-Opioid receptor

Oliceridine (also known as TRV130) is a G-protein-biased ligand at the μ-opioid receptor. In preclinical studies, it was potently analgesic while causing less respiratory depression and gastrointestinal dysfunction than morphine, suggesting unique benefits in acute pain management. This unique “G protein-biased” μ-opioid ligand is a potent analgesic in rodents, with 3-10 times the potency of morphine, but with reduced gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction and respiratory depression compared to equianalgesic doses of morphine.


The margin between Oliceridine analgesia and side effects (therapeutic index) in rodents suggests that Oliceridine may be a safer, tolerable analgesic than current parenterally administered opioids such as morphine, fentanyl, and hydromorphone. It is currently in Phase-III trials.
