About YUTREPIA™ (Treprostinil) Inhalation Powder
YUTREPIA is an experimental inhaled dry powder formulation of treprostinil delivered by a proven, convenient, palm-sized device. On November 5, 2021, the FDA issued interim approval for YUTREPIA, which is indicated for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) to improve exercise capacity in adult patients with functional class II symptoms -III from the New York Heart Association (NYHA). YUTREPIA was designed using Liquidia’s PRINT® technology, which enables the development of drug particles that are precise and uniform in size, shape and composition, and which are designed for optimal deposition in the lungs after oral inhalation. Liquidia has completed INSPIRE, or Investigation of the Safety and Pharmacology of Dry Powder Inhalation of Treprostinil, an open-label, multicenter Phase 3 clinical study of YUTREPIA in patients diagnosed with PAH who have never received inhaled treprostinil or are on transition from Tyvaso (nebulized treprostinil). YUTREPIA was previously called LIQ861 in experimental studies.
