Liquidia sues FDA over Tyvaso DPI exclusivity blocking YUTREPIA approval
Liquidia Corp
- FDA granted tentative approval of YUTREPIA on Aug 16, 2024, but final approval delayed until after May 23, 2025.
- Liquidia filed suit in D.C. District Court (Case No. 1:24-cv-02428) challenging FDA's 3-year NCI exclusivity for Tyvaso DPI.
- United Therapeutics voluntarily dismissed its complaint challenging FDA's acceptance of Liquidia's amended NDA on Aug 20.
- Liquidia argues FDA's decision violates congressional intent and seeks to vacate exclusivity to allow timely market entry.
