Liquidia maintains that they have invalidated similar claims in the past and will continue to defend patients’ rights to choose the therapy that works best for them.

Liquidia Corporation announced that it has filed litigation in the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia (Case No. 1:24-cv-02428) that challenges the recent decision by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to grant 3-year new clinical investigation exclusivity (NCI exclusivity) to Tyvaso DPI®.
AI Summary
Liquidia Corporation has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (Case No. 1:24-cv-02428) to challenge the FDA's recent decision to award a 3-year new clinical investigation exclusivity (NCI exclusivity) to Tyvaso DPI®. This exclusivity delays the final approval of Liquidia’s YUTREPIA™ (treprostinil) inhalation powder until May 23, 2025. Liquidia argues that extending this period of exclusivity gives United Therapeutics an undue regulatory advantage and violates the intent of Congress, which aims to encourage innovation by rewarding only those drugs supported by new clinical studies. Liquidia contends that the FDA's decision stifles competition and limits patient choice. The company is actively seeking to have this exclusivity vacated so that YUTREPIA can be brought to market promptly for patients with rare cardiopulmonary conditions.
