Current report

U.S. Supreme Court on June 10, 2024, and that petition is pending. All claims of this patent remain valid until IPR appeals are exhausted.

Current report

On May 10, 2024, we filed a citizen petition with the FDA asking the FDA to rescind its tentative approval of Yutrepia and issue a complete response letter to address an issue with Liquidia’s treprostinil supplier. That supplier is currently under a consent decree to address purported long-standing violations of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act. The citizen petition seeks to ensure that Yutrepia is not approved until the supplier has fully and successfully discharged its obligations under the consent decree and that Liquidia supplies the FDA with sufficient data and information to establish that the identity, strength, quality, and purity of its proposed Yutrepia drug product in fact meets all the statutory and regulatory requirements for approval. The FDA’s response to our citizen petition is pending.

Previous wording

Following the initial submission of the Yutrepia NDA, we filed a lawsuit in federal district court against Liquidia for infringement of three of our patents: U.S. Patent Nos. 9,604,901 (the’901 patent), 9,593,066 (the’066 patent), and 10,716,793 (the’793 patent). In December 2021, we filed a stipulation that the ’901 patent would not be infringed by Liquidia based on the court’s claim construction ruling. Trial was held during March 2022 on the ’066 patent and the ’793 patent, and we received the court’s decision in August 2022. The court found that Liquidia’s product would infringe the ’793 patent and that Liquidia had not proved that any claim of that patent is invalid. The court also determined that Liquidia had proved that certain claims of the ’066 patent were invalid and that we had not proved Liquidia’s infringement of another ’066 patent claim. Accordingly, the court issued a final judgment that bars the FDA from approving Liquidia’s approved product until expiration of the ’793 patent in May 2027. The parties each appealed portions of the decision adverse to them, and on July 24, 2023, the appellate court issued its decision affirming the district court decision in its entirety. The court subsequently denied the parties’ requests for rehearing, and the appellate court decision is now final.

•’901 patent: In October 2021, the PTAB issued a final written decision on Liquidia’s IPR relating to this patent. The PTAB upheld the patentability of two of the claims of this patent, one of which was being asserted against Liquidia in the district court litigation, and found that seven other claims of this patent were unpatentable. We have appealed the PTAB’s decision, and the appeal is pending. All claims of this patent remain valid until any IPR appeals are exhausted. In December 2021, we filed a stipulation in the district court litigation that the ’901 patent would not be infringed by Liquidia based on the court’s claim construction ruling.

•’793 patent: In August 2021, the PTAB instituted IPR proceedings related to this patent. In July 2022, the PTAB issued a final written decision finding all claims of this patent to be unpatentable. We filed a request for rehearing and for precedential opinion panel review. In October 2022, the PTAB denied our request for precedential opinion panel review, but “determine[d] that the Board’s Final Written Decision did not address adequately whether the [references relied upon as the basis for canceling claims] qualify as prior art.” Thus, the PTAB directed the original panel “in its consideration on rehearing, to clearly identify whether the … references qualify as prior art.” The original panel issued its decision on our request for rehearing in February 2023. The original panel agreed that it had overlooked our arguments and its rationale for determining that certain references are prior art was erroneous. Nonetheless, the original panel determined the references qualify as prior art under a new rationale. Thus, the original panel maintained that the claims of this patent are not valid. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB decision. We now have the opportunity to seek review by the U.S. Supreme Court. All claims of this patent remain valid until any IPR appeals are exhausted.

The FDA granted nebulized Tyvaso three-year clinical trial exclusivity for the treatment of PH-ILD, which expired in March 2024, as a result of the INCREASE study of nebulized Tyvaso for the treatment of PH-ILD, and the expansion of the nebulized Tyvaso label to include a PH-ILD indication. This exclusivity covered both Tyvaso DPI and nebulized Tyvaso for the treatment of PH-ILD, and precluded the FDA from approving a PH-ILD indication for Yutrepia prior to the expiration of clinical trial exclusivity. On July 24, 2023, we received a Paragraph IV Certification Notice Letter from Liquidia notifying us that they had submitted an amendment to the Yutrepia NDA to include a PH-ILD indication to the FDA. In September 2023, Liquidia announced that the FDA had accepted this amendment for review, and set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act goal date of January 24, 2024. The FDA did not act on the January 24, 2024 goal date, and related litigation is pending as described under FDA Litigation Regarding Yutrepia in Note 12—Litigation, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We also have litigation pending in federal district court against Liquidia for infringement of the U.S. Patent No. 11,826,327 (the’327 patent). The claims of the ’327 patent generally cover improving exercise capacity in patients suffering from PH-ILD by inhaling treprostinil at specific dosages. We believe this lawsuit could entitle us to a 30-month stay, preventing the FDA from approving Yutrepia for the treatment of PH-ILD until the resolution of this lawsuit, or the expiration of the 30-month period following receipt of a Paragraph IV notice, whichever occurs first. Because the issue of whether a 30-month stay is appropriate remains unresolved, we filed a motion for preliminary injunction in the patent case on February 26, 2024. Briefing is complete, and the court held a hearing on April 23, 2024.

The fair value of STAP awards and stock options is measured using inputs and assumptions under the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The fair value of restricted stock units is measured using our stock price on the date of grant. Although we no longer grant STAP awards, we had approximately 0.4 million STAP awards outstanding as of March 31, 2024. We account for STAP awards as liabilities because they are settled in cash. As such, we must re-measure the fair value of STAP awards at the end of each financial reporting period until the awards are no longer outstanding. Changes in our liability associated with outstanding STAP awards as a result of such re-measurements are recorded as adjustments to share-based compensation expense and can create volatility within our operating expenses from period to period. The following factors, among others, have a significant impact on the amount of share-based compensation expense recognized in connection with STAP awards from period to period: (1) volatility in the price of our common stock (specifically, increases in the price of our common stock will generally result in an increase in our liability and related compensation expense, while decreases in our stock price will generally result in a reduction in our liability and related compensation expense); and (2) decreases in the number of outstanding awards.

We are enrolling two phase 3 studies, called TETON 1 and TETON 2, of nebulized Tyvaso for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). TETON 1 is being conducted in the United States and Canada, and TETON 2 is being conducted outside the United States and Canada. We are targeting enrollment of 576 patients in each study. The primary endpoint of both studies is the change in absolute forced vital capacity (FVC) from baseline to week 52. The TETON 1 study enrolled its first patient in June 2021, and the TETON 2 study enrolled its first patient in October 2022. We are also enrolling a phase 3 study of nebulized Tyvaso called TETON PPF for the treatment of progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF); we enrolled the first patient in TETON PPF in October 2023.

The TETON 1 and TETON 2 studies were prompted by data from the INCREASE study of nebulized Tyvaso for the treatment of PH-ILD, which demonstrated improvements in certain key parameters of lung function in pulmonary hypertension patients with fibrotic lung disease (improved absolute FVC and reduced exacerbations of underlying lung disease). Specifically, in the INCREASE study, treatment with nebulized Tyvaso resulted in significant improvements in percent predicted FVC at weeks 8 and 16, with subjects having an underlying etiology of IPF showing the greatest improvement (week 8: 2.5 percent; p=0.0380 and week 16: 3.5 percent; p=0.0147). In May 2022, data from the INCREASE open-label extension (OLE) study were presented at a medical conference, indicating that improvements in FVC were sustained for at least 64 weeks for PH-ILD patients with underlying IPF. For those patients who received placebo during the INCREASE study, marked improvements in FVC were observed following transition to nebulized Tyvaso during the OLE study. These data points, combined with substantial preclinical evidence of antifibrotic activity of treprostinil, suggest that nebulized Tyvaso may offer a treatment option for patients with IPF. We believe there are approximately 100,000 IPF patients in the United States.

Ralinepag is a next-generation, once-daily, oral, selective, and potent prostacyclin receptor agonist that we are developing for the treatment of PAH. A phase 2 study of ralinepag in 61 PAH patients (40 patients on active ralinepag, 21 on placebo) met its primary endpoint, showing a 29.8 percent reduction (p=0.03) in median pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR, the force or resistance that blood encounters as it flows through the blood vessels in the lungs) after 22 weeks of treatment with ralinepag compared with placebo. After participation in phase 2, 45 patients entered into an OLE study to further determine if ralinepag may be safe and effective for long-term use to treat patients with PAH. The study found that ralinepag had a manageable side effect profile, with a decrease in side effects for patients who continued taking ralinepag over time. Moreover, two years after entering the OLE study, the study showed that ralinepag improved the ability to exercise as the 6MWD significantly increased by a mean of 36.3 meters (p=0.004), and over 85 percent of patients remained stable in their functional class. Additionally, hemodynamic measures (metrics to measure how well the heart is working) taken either one or two years after entering the OLE study demonstrated significant improvements (p=0.05) in both median PVR and mean pulmonary arterial pressure (the pressure in the blood vessels connecting the heart).

Each year, end-stage organ failure kills millions of people. A significant number of these patients could have benefited from an organ transplant. Unfortunately, the number of usable, donated organs available for transplantation has not grown significantly over the past half century, while the need has soared. Our long-term goals are aimed at addressing this shortage. With advances in technology, we believe that creating an unlimited supply of tolerable manufactured organs is now principally an engineering challenge, and we are dedicated to finding engineering solutions. We are engaged in research and development of a variety of technologies designed to increase the supply of transplantable organs and tissues and to improve outcomes for transplant recipients through xenotransplantation, regenerative medicine, 3-D organ bioprinting, bio-artificial organs, andex vivo lung perfusion.

Each year, end-stage organ failure kills millions of people. A significant number of these patients could have benefited from an organ transplant. Unfortunately, the number of usable, donated organs available for transplantation has not grown significantly over the past half century, while the need has soared.

The UHeart™ is a development-stage heart from a pig with ten genetic modifications to support organ functioning in the human body. Six human genes were added to the pig genome to facilitate immune acceptance of the organ, while four genes were inactivated: three that contribute to porcine organ rejection in humans and one that can cause organ growth beyond what is normal for humans. The UKidney™ is a kidney from the same pig with ten gene modifications.

The UThymoKidney™ is a development-stage kidney from a pig with a single genetic modification, together with tissue from the pig’s thymus. The pig’s thymus tissue is intended to condition the recipient’s immune system to recognize the UThymoKidney as “self” and reduce the likelihood of rejection. The single gene that is inactivated in the pig is responsible for the synthesis of alpha-gal, a sugar on the surface of cells that can cause the immediate rejection of an organ when transplanted into the human body. Because tissues from pigs containing this modification do not contain detectable levels of the alpha-gal sugar, we refer to materials derived from this pig as GalSafe®. In December 2020, the GalSafe pig was approved by the FDA for use as human food or as a potential source for biomedical purposes. Meat from GalSafe pigs is currently being produced for individuals with alpha-gal syndrome, an allergy to meat caused by a bite from the lone star tick. This approval marked only the second FDA approval of a genetically modified animal as a source of food, and the first such approval for a mammal.

In February 2024, we inaugurated a clinical-scale, designated pathogen-free (DPF) facility in Virginia and began populating the facility with animals during the first quarter of 2024. When fully operational, we expect this DPF to supply cGMP-compliant xenografts for human clinical trials, with a target capacity of up to 125 organs per year. This facility cost approximately $75 million to construct. We are planning to build additional cGMP DPF facilities at commercial scale, each with target capacities of approximately 1,000 to 2,000 organs per year. While these projects will be capital-intensive, the timing and volume of these expenditures will be staggered and paced in a manner intended to balance our need to address market demand as soon as possible following launch with the need to defer the most significant capital expenditures until we achieve certain clinical trial milestones.

•First Successful Xenotransplants of Porcine Hearts. University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) surgeons have successfully transplanted UHearts into two living human patients. These procedures were authorized by the FDA on a single-patient, expanded access (also called “compassionate use”) basis, and marked the first known examples of transplanting whole organs from genetically modified pigs to humans. The FDA’s compassionate use regulations allow a physician to apply to use an unapproved product outside of a clinical trial to treat an individual patient with a serious or immediately life-threatening disease or condition when no satisfactory alternative therapy is available. The first patient, transplanted in January 2022, survived for approximately two months with the UHeart. In June 2022, data from this procedure were published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The second patient, transplanted in September 2023, survived for approximately six weeks with the UHeart. We and our collaborators continue to evaluate data from these human transplants.

After 47 days, surgeons electively removed the thymokidney and returned the patient to dialysis. According to NYU Langone Health, the thymokidney had sustained significant injury from episodes of insufficient blood flow due to reduced blood pressure generated by the heart pump and, on balance, was no longer contributing enough to justify continuing the patient’s immunosuppression regimen. NYU Langone Health noted that a biopsy of the thymokidney did not show signs of rejection.

(Miromatrix), a company based in Minnesota, focused on the development of new technologies for generating manufactured kidneys and livers composed of human primary cells. The Miromatrix external liver assist product, called miroliver ELAP®, uses a decellularized porcine liver matrix that has been seeded with human-derived cells and an extracorporeal blood circuit to maintain liver support in patients experiencing acute liver failure. Miromatrix first used its decellularization technology to successfully develop two acellular products, MiroMesh® and MiroDerm®, which received FDA 510(k) clearance for hernia repair and wound care applications, respectively, and which were later spun off by Miromatrix. In January 2024, the FDA cleared the Miromatrix investigational new device application for miroliver ELAP, and we are planning to commence enrollment of a phase 1 study in patients with acute liver failure in 2024. We expect this study will be the first human clinical trial of a manufactured organ. Miromatrix is also developing miroliver®, a fully-implantable manufactured liver product, and mirokidney®, a fully implantable manufactured kidney product, both of which are based on decellularized porcine organ scaffolds that have been reseeded with human-derived cells. Initially the Miromatrix products are intended to be allogeneic, requiring the use of standard immunosuppression protocols. Future versions may be based on autologous cells, reducing or eliminating the need for immunosuppression drugs.

Our affiliate, Northern Therapeutics, Inc. (Northern Therapeutics), is conducting a clinical study in Canada (called SAPPHIRE) of a gene therapy product called Aurora-GT, in which a PAH patient’s own endothelial progenitor cells are isolated, transfected with the gene for human endothelial nitric oxide synthase, expandedex vivo, and then delivered back to the same patient. This therapy is intended to rebuild the blood vessels in the lungs that are compromised by PAH. Northern Therapeutics is a Canadian entity in which we have a 49.7 percent voting stake and a 71.8 percent financial stake. Northern Therapeutics discontinued enrollment of new patients at the end of 2022 when we ceased funding the SAPPHIRE program. In April 2024, Northern Therapeutics unblinded the SAPPHIRE study. Because the study only enrolled 12 patients (25 percent of the target enrollment), it was too small to meet its primary endpoint with statistical significance (change in six-minute walk distance from baseline to six months). However, the parties are reviewing the data and considering whether it may support regulatory approval in Canada. We have the exclusive right to pursue this technology in the United States. Under our agreement with Northern Therapeutics, we funded all of the expenses of the SAPPHIRE program through the end of 2022; thereafter, Northern Therapeutics has been solely responsible for all costs of developing Aurora-GT outside the United States.
