Description: LQDA Liquidia Technologies

Liquidia Corporation is a U.S. biopharmaceutical company focused on treatments for rare cardiopulmonary diseases, including pulmonary arterial hypertension and pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease. Its portfolio includes treprostinil products and candidates: Remodulin injection, YUTREPIA inhaled dry powder, and L606, which is in Phase III trials.

The company also uses its PRINT technology to engineer drug particles with controlled size, shape, and composition. Like other pharmaceutical businesses, Liquidia combines product commercialization with clinical development, where investigational medicines must undergo trials and regulatory review.

  • United Therapeutics patent litigation threatens commercialization timing
  • L606 Phase III progress could expand the long-term growth pipeline
