Trevi Therapeutics Inc. is a key player in the prurigo therapeutics pipeline arena, which is currently developing Nalbuphine ER, a small molecule which acts as an opioid receptor agonist. The company is also evaluating the product for the treatment of prurigo nodularis. Menlo Therapeutics Inc., and Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals Ltd. are some other players having prurigo therapeutics in their pipeline.
