After two federal court decisions last week, Liquidia Corporation says that the FDA is cleared to approve its pulmonary arterial hypertension inhaler Yutrepia, a potential rival to United Therapeutics' blockbuster Tyvaso.

The decisions came shortly before the expiration on Sunday of United’s regulatory exclusivity for its PAH blockbuster Tyvaso (treprostinil) to treat pulmonary hFDArtension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD). The developments could spell the end of the short reign of exclusivity for United’s successful dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulation of the drug.

The FDA accepted LiTyvaso’s application for a dry powder version of treprostinil in 2020 and then rejected it with a complete response letter seven months later. A year later, the FDA granted tentative approval to Yutrepia.

The company has filed an additional lawsuit against Liquidia in federal court in Delaware alleging that Yutrepia would infringe a patent that was issued in November of last year. United has filed for another preliminary injunction in that case which would prevent Liquidia from launching Yutrepia for PH-ILD.
