Frequently asked questions about Treprostinil

What is treprostinil used for?

Treprostinil is being developed for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, a condition involving high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. The inhalation powder formulation is designed to deliver the drug directly to the lungs. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development.

What does treprostinil target?

Treprostinil targets PTGIR, the prostacyclin receptor. It acts as an agonist at this receptor. Activation of PTGIR leads to vasodilation and inhibition of platelet aggregation, which are relevant effects in pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Who is developing treprostinil inhalation powder?

MannKind Corporation, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker MNKD, is developing treprostinil inhalation powder. The company is responsible for the clinical development program in pulmonary arterial hypertension.

What phase is treprostinil inhalation powder in?

Treprostinil inhalation powder is in Phase 1 clinical development. It has not been approved by the FDA for any indication. The completed Phase 1 trial evaluated pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability in healthy volunteers.

What clinical trials is treprostinil inhalation powder in?

Treprostinil inhalation powder has been studied in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT03464864. The trial enrolled 36 healthy adult volunteers in the United States and assessed pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability. It was a controlled study without randomization or double blinding.

Is treprostinil the same as treprostinil inhalation powder?

Yes, treprostinil inhalation powder is an inhaled formulation of treprostinil. The active ingredient is treprostinil, a small molecule prostacyclin receptor agonist. The inhalation powder is the specific dosage form being developed by MannKind Corporation.
