Cantor Fitzgerald Initiates Coverage On United Therapeutics with Overweight Rating, Announces Price Target of $405

On Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Liquidia Corporation&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LQDA#NASDAQ">LQDA</a>) Yutrepia (treprostinil) inhalation powder, a prostacyclin analog for adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">improve exercise ability</a>.
In August 2024, the FDA issued tentative approval of Yutrepia for the PAH and PH-ILD indications.

Yutrepia is the first and only prostacyclin dry-powder formulation enabled by Liquidia&#8217;s proprietary PRINT technology, which yields uniform, free-flowing particles designed to enhance deep-lung delivery via an easy-to-use, low-effort device requiring <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45593900/u-s-fda-approves-liquidias-yutrepia-treprostinil-inhalation-powder-for-patients-with-pulmonary-art" rel="noreferrer noopener">less inspiratory effort</a>.
The approval of Yutrepia is based on findings from the Phase 3 INSPIRE trial, which evaluated patients who were naïve to treprostinil and those transitioning to Yutrepia from nebulized treprostinil.
Yutrepia was shown to be safe and well-tolerated regardless of a patient&#8217;s previous exposure to treprostinil.
As previously disclosed, United Therapeutics Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UTHR#NASDAQ">UTHR</a>) filed a complaint on May 9, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina against Liquidia, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 11,357,782. The complaint seeks to enjoin Liquidia from commercializing Yutrepia <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45593900/u-s-fda-approves-liquidias-yutrepia-treprostinil-inhalation-powder-for-patients-with-pulmonary-art" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to treat PAH and PH-ILD</a>.
United Therapeutics has filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to block Liquidia from commercially launching Yutrepia. An oral argument on the motion was held on May 20, 2025. The motion remains pending with the Court.
In March, Liquidia&nbsp;entered into a sixth amendment to its agreement with HealthCare Royalty to provide up to an additional&nbsp;$100 million of financing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45279833/liquidia-corporation-reports-first-quarter-2025-financial-results-and-provides-corporate-update" rel="noreferrer noopener">in three tranches</a>.&nbsp;
The company&nbsp;intends to use the proceeds to fund ongoing commercial development of Yutrepia, continued development of Yutrepia in other clinical trials, including but not limited to trials for pediatric patients, and trials further evaluating the use of Yutrepia in&nbsp;PAH and PH-ILD patients, clinical development of L606, a sustained-release formulation of treprostinil administered twice-daily with a next-generation nebulizer, and for general corporate purposes.
Price Action: LQDA stock is down 3.3% at $14.84 on the last check Tuesday.

Liquidia Scores FDA Nod For Lung Disease Drug Yutrepia, Faces Legal Challenge

<ul>
<li>Additionally, the complaint seeks to enjoin Liquidia from commercializing YUTREPIA (treprostinil) inhalation powder if approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD).</li>
<li>The ‘782 patent, which issued on June 14, 2022, arises out of the same patent family as U.S. Patent No. 10,716,793 (the ‘793 patent) and claims the same general method of administering inhaled treprostinil to pulmonary hypertension patients. As disclosed in July 2022, the ‘793 patent was held to be invalid in a proceeding before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). The PTAB's decision was affirmed by the&nbsp;U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit&nbsp;in&nbsp;December 2023. The United States Supreme Court&nbsp;rejected UTHR's petition for a writ of certiorari, thereby upholding PTAB's decision which found that all claims of the ‘793 patent are unpatentable due to prior art as final and not subject to further appeal.</li>
<li>UTHR is currently not seeking any injunction against the FDA to prevent final approval of the New Drug Application (NDA) for YUTREPIA. As previously announced, the FDA set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of May 24, 2025.</li>
