INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS 3

Oliceridine: the first Breakthrough Therapy designation for pain 4 (1) FDA Guidance for Industry; Expedited Programs for Serious Conditions – Drugs and Biologics. May 2014. Oliceridine program: •Head-to-head comparisons to morphine throughout development •Differentiation based on breakthrough science •Rigorous and innovative trial design Breakthrough Therapy qualifying criteria: “A drug that is intended to treat a serious condition AND preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement on a clinically significant endpoint(s) over available therapies”1

END-OF-PHASE 2 MEETING OUTCOME 7

Successful outcome for the end-of-phase 2 meeting for the oliceridine program • • General agreement was reached to move oliceridine in to Phase 3 General agreement was reached that the oliceridine Phase 3 program could support an approval for the target indication – Management of moderate-to-severe acute pain where parenteral therapy is warranted • Key elements of Phase 3 program: – – – Two pivotal efficacy studies with PCA dosing to support potential finding of efficacy Bunionectomy and abdominoplasty populations appropriate for target indication Safety database with PCA and bolus dosing >1,100 patients •Including a sufficient number of patients with higher exposures and longer durations of oliceridine therapy Key clinical pharmacology, nonclinical toxicology, CMC activities to support NDA – 8

OLICERIDINE PHASE 3 PROGRAM OVERVIEW 9

Pivotal efficacy studies to support potential approval • Two pivotal studies: same surgical models as in Phase 2 – – – APOLLO-1: 48 hour treatment following bunionectomy APOLLO-2: 24 hour treatment following abdominoplasty Each study will include 375 patients, 75/group • Primary endpoint: efficacy of oliceridine vs. placebo • Secondary endpoints: oliceridine vs. morphine – – – Efficacy, including pain intensity difference and time to onset Safety, including respiratory safety burden based on hypoventilation events Tolerability, including nausea and vomiting 10

Phase 3 program dosing and administration • • Goal: dosing and administration labeling for as-needed dosing (bolus or PCA) APOLLO dosing: patient controlled analgesia (PCA), as in Phase 2b study – If PCA dosing does not adequately control pain, supplemental study drug can be given as often as every hour •If pain still not adequately controlled, rescue NSAID analgesic available 3 oliceridine dose arms planned in each APOLLO study: – • ATHENA safety study: PCA and as-needed bolus dosing intended to complement PCA dosing data from APOLLO studies 11 RegimenNLoading dose (mg)Demand dose (mg)Supplemental dose (mg) Placebo75---Oliceridine 0.1 mg751.50.10.75 Oliceridine 0.35 mg751.50.350.75 Oliceridine 0.5 mg751.50.50.75 Morphine754.01.02.0

Pivotal efficacy studies: primary endpoint Same measure as Phase 2: pain intensity assessed with a visual analog scale • • Phase 3 will use a responder analysis as proposed by Trevena – Defined as >30% improvement in sum of pain intensity difference from baseline (SPID) without early discontinuation and without rescue pain medication – Rationale: • • • More straightforward clinical interpretation than pain intensity difference Incorporates an element of safety/tolerability High power based on post-hoc analysis of Phase 2b abdominoplasty data Post-hoc analysis of phase 2b abdominoplasty data using Phase 3 primary endpoint 4.0 mg load, 12 Post-hoc analysis of Phas Placebo (n = 39) e 2b dvaotlaume matched Oliceridine (n = 39) 1.5 mg load, 0.1 mg demand Oliceridine (n = 39) 1.5 mg load, 0.35 mg demand Morphine (n = 83) 1.0 mg demand Responders, n (%) 12 (30.8%) 25 (64.1%) 28 (71.8%) 55 (66.3%) p-value vs. placebo 0.0005 0.0004 0.0003

Pivotal efficacy studies: secondary endpoints • Efficacy measures vs. placebo, including sum of pain intensity difference analyses and time to meaningful pain relief, to support primary analysis • Efficacy, safety, and tolerability comparisons to morphine allow demonstration of potential clinical advantages of oliceridine – Efficacy measures vs. morphine include: • Responder rate: same evaluation as primary endpoint – Non-inferiority and superiority vs. morphine Time to onset of meaningful pain relief Time to use, total use, and prevalence of use for rescue analgesics • • – Safety/tolerability measures vs. morphine include: • • Spontaneously reported nausea/vomiting and rescue anti-emetic use Respiratory safety burden 13

Hypoventilation  respiratory safety burden • Respiratory safety endpoint: based on hypoventilation, a clinical assessment as in Phase 2b study • Phase 3 analysis: prevalence x duration = respiratory safety burden (RSB) – – Provides more robust assessment of respiratory safety Higher power than simple prevalence measure based on analysis of Phase 2b data • In a post-hoc analysis of Phase 2b abdominoplasty data, hypoventilation was both more frequent and longer lasting with morphine than with oliceridine: Phase 2b data: Hypoventilation frequency prespecified; duration is post-hoc from dose interruption data 14 Placebo (n = 39) Volume matched Oliceridine (n = 39) 1.5 mg load, 0.1 mg demand Oliceridine (n = 39) 1.5 mg load, 0.35 mg demand Morphine (n = 83) 4.0 mg load, 1.0 mg demand RSB, hr 1.3 1.0 2.2 6.5 p-value vs. placebo 0.7490 0.4025 < 0.0001 p-value vs. morphine < 0.0001 < 0.0001 0.0003

Summary Successful end-of-phase 2 meeting • – – – Appropriate to move oliceridine to Phase 3 Agreed upon key elements of Phase 3 program Collaborative discussion with FDA • Phase 3 program overview – APOLLO studies designed to support approval and differentiation •Endpoints and analysis are well informed by the Phase 2 program ATHENA-1 study is underway APOLLO studies to commence this quarter – – • Breakthrough Therapy designation offers opportunity for ongoing dialogue 15
