Highlights

United Therapeutics is developing an oral version of treprostinil which is currently before the FDA with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act date of October 27, 2012.

Oral treprostinil met its primary endpoint in a Phase III monotherapy trial, but failed two Phase III combination therapy studies. With disappointing efficacy data and gastrointestinal tolerability issues, Datamonitor believes that approval by the PDUFA is far from certain.
