ABOUT LIQUIDIA TECHNOLOGIES
Liquidia Technologies, Inc. (“Liquidia”) is a late-stage clinical
biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and
commercialization of human therapeutics using its proprietary PRINT®
technology to transform the lives of patients. PRINT® is a particle
engineering platform that enables precise production of uniform drug
particles designed to improve the safety, efficacy and performance of a
wide range of therapies. Currently, Liquidia is focused on the
development of two product candidates for which it holds worldwide
commercial rights: LIQ861 for the treatment of pulmonary arterial
hypertension and LIQ865 for the treatment of local post-operative pain.
Liquidia’s lead product candidate, LIQ861, currently being evaluated in
a Phase 3 clinical trial (INSPIRE), is designed to improve the
therapeutic profile of treprostinil by enhancing deep-lung delivery and
achieving higher dose levels than current inhaled therapies by using a
convenient, disposable dry powder inhaler. LIQ865, for which Liquidia
has recently completed a U.S. Phase 1b clinical trial, is designed to
deliver sustained-release particles of bupivacaine, a non-opioid
anesthetic, to treat local post-operative pain for three to five days
through a single administration. In addition to developing its own
product candidates, Liquidia collaborates with leading pharmaceutical
companies to develop their own product candidates across a wide range of
therapeutic areas, molecule types and routes of administration,
leveraging Liquidia’s PRINT® technology.
