The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of LIQ861, a dry powder formulation of treprostinil, in patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH).
One of the greatest impediments to patient treatment satisfaction with current inhaled treprostinil therapy is inconvenience. Currently, PAH patients using inhaled treprostinil may require more than 36 breaths per day using a nebulizer requiring daily set up and cleaning. The use of a discrete, hand-held dry powder inhaler to deliver treprostinil to the lungs could represent a major improvement in convenience and patient satisfaction, thereby improving the quality of life for PAH patients. Liquidia is pursuing approval of LIQ861, an inhalation dry powder formulation of treprostinil that is produced using Liquidia's PRINT® Technology (Particle Replication in Nonwetting Templates), as an alternative to current inhaled treprostinil therapy for the treatment of patients with PAH (WHO Group 1).

LIQ861 bulk powder is generated from a treprostinil/excipient matrix from which particles of precise size and shape are created and filled into a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) capsule (size 3). LIQ861 capsules are provided in capsule strengths of 25 μg, 50 μg, 75 μg and 100 μg treprostinil.
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
There were two treatment arms analyzed for events in the study. All subjects that participated in the PK study were part of the transition group and not analyzed separately for adverse events. Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events will be grouped by MedDRA System Organ Class, dose level, time on drug, and relationship to dose titration
Time frame: Baseline, Week 2, Month 1, Month 2 Visits, with bimonthly follow up for up to 16 months.
