Overview
YUTREPIA contains treprostinil sodium, a prostacyclin mimetic. The chemical name for tresprostinil sodium is 2-{[(1R,2R,3aS,9aS)-2-hydroxy-1-[(3S)-3-hydroxyoctyl]-1H,2H,3H,3aH,4H,9H,9aH-cyclopenta[b]naphthalen-5-yl]oxy}acetic acid, sodium salt with the structural formula: Treprostinil sodium has a molecular formula of C 23 H 33 O 5 Na and a molecular weight of 412.49 daltons equivalent to 390.5 daltons of Treprostinil. YUTREPIA inhalation powder contained in a capsule is intended for oral inhalation. The capsule contains white to off-white powder of treprostinil sodium and the inactive ingredients L-leucine, polysorbate 80, sodium chloride, sodium citrate, and trehalose. Each 5 mg of YUTREPIA inhalation powder contains 26.5 mcg of treprostinil, where 26.5 mcg of treprostinil is equivalent to 28 mcg of treprostinil sodium. The accompanying inhalation device for delivery of YUTREPIA inhalation powder is a disposable plastic device used to inhale the dry powder contained in the HPMC capsule. The amount of drug delivered to the lungs will vary depending on patient factors such as inspiratory flow and peak inspiratory flow through the inhalation device, which may vary from patient to patient. Under standardized in vitro testing, the inhalation device delivers the following amounts of treprostinil for each of the YUTREPIA inhalation powder capsule strengths: YUTREPIA Inhalation Powder Delivered Dose a Amount of treprostinil delivered from the device mouthpiece under an in vitro flow rate of 99 L/min with a collection time of 1.2 seconds (2 L total volume).

Indications & Usage
• Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH; WHO Group 1) to improve exercise ability. Studies establishing effectiveness predominately included patients with NYHA Functional Class III symptoms and etiologies of idiopathic or heritable PAH (56%) or PAH associated with connective tissue diseases (33%). ( 1.1 ) • Pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD; WHO Group 3) to improve exercise ability. The study establishing effectiveness predominately included patients with etiologies of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) (45%) inclusive of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) (25%), and WHO Group 3 connective tissue disease (22%). ( 1.2 ) 1.1 Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension YUTREPIA is indicated for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH; WHO Group 1) to improve exercise ability. Studies establishing effectiveness predominately included patients with NYHA Functional Class III symptoms and etiologies of idiopathic or heritable PAH (56%) or PAH associated with connective tissue diseases (33%). The effects diminish over the minimum recommended dosing interval of 4 hours; treatment timing can be adjusted for planned activities. While there are long-term data on use of treprostinil by other routes of administration, nearly all controlled clinical experience with inhaled treprostinil has been on a background of bosentan (an endothelin receptor antagonist) or sildenafil (a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor). The controlled clinical experience was limited to 12 weeks in duration [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . 1.2 Pulmonary Hypertension Associated with ILD YUTREPIA is indicated for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD; WHO Group 3) to improve exercise ability. The study establishing effectiveness predominately included patients with etiologies of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) (45%) inclusive of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) (25%), and WHO Group 3 connective tissue disease (22%) [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] .
Dosage & Administration
• For oral inhalation only. Do not swallow YUTREPIA capsules. Use only with the provided inhaler ( 2 ) • YUTREPIA should be administered 3 to 5 times per day. The contents of each capsule can be inhaled in 2 breaths. ( 2.1 ) • See Dosage and Administration for full instructions on dosing of patients who are treprostinil-naïve or transitioning from treprostinil inhalation solution to YUTREPIA ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Usual Dosage In Adults YUTREPIA capsules are for oral inhalation only and should be used only with the supplied inhaler. Do not swallow YUTREPIA capsules. YUTREPIA Dosing in treprostinil-naïve patients : In patients naïve to treprostinil, therapy should begin with 26.5 mcg 3 to 5 times per day, in 2 breaths based on patient response. Dosing in patients transitioning from treprostinil inhalation solution (Tyvaso) : Patients transitioning from treprostinil inhalation solution (Tyvaso), can begin YUTREPIA therapy 3 to 5 times per day, in 2 breaths, using the doses specified below ( Table 1 ): Table 1: YUTREPIA Dosing in Patients Transitioning from Treprostinil Inhalation Solution *Each breath of Tyvaso delivers approximately 6 mcg of treprostinil. Current Tyvaso Dose* YUTREPIA Dose (Number of Breaths) mcg 5 or less breaths 26.5 mcg 6 to 8 breaths 53 mcg 9 to 11 breaths 79.5 mcg 12 to 14 breaths 106 mcg 15 to 17 breaths 132.5 mcg 18 or more breaths 159 mcg In treprostinil-naïve patients and those transitioning from treprostinil inhalation solution, dose increases of 26.5 mcg per dose each week may be implemented, as tolerated. The target maintenance dosage is 79.5 mcg to 106 mcg, 4 times daily. Doses above 848 mcg per day have not been studied in patients with PAH. If a scheduled dose is missed, resume therapy as soon as possible at the usual dose.
Warnings & Precautions
• Treprostinil may cause symptomatic hypotension. ( 5.1 ) • Treprostinil inhibits platelet aggregation and increases the risk of bleeding. ( 5.2 ) • Dosage adjustments may be necessary if inhibitors or inducers of CYP2C8 are added or withdrawn. ( 5.3 , 7.1 ) • May cause bronchospasm: Patients with a history of hyperreactive airway disease may be more sensitive. ( 5.4 ) 5.1 Risk of Symptomatic Hypotension Treprostinil is a pulmonary and systemic vasodilator. In patients with low systemic arterial pressure, treatment with treprostinil may produce symptomatic hypotension. 5.2 Risk of Bleeding Treprostinil inhibits platelet aggregation and increases the risk of bleeding. 5.3 Effect of Other Drugs on Treprostinil Co-administration of a cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 enzyme inhibitor (e.g., gemfibrozil) may increase exposure (both C max and AUC) to treprostinil. Co-administration of a CYP2C8 enzyme inducer (e.g., rifampin) may decrease exposure to treprostinil. Increased exposure is likely to increase adverse events associated with treprostinil administration, whereas decreased exposure is likely to reduce clinical effectiveness [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 5.4 Bronchospasm Like other inhaled prostaglandins, YUTREPIA may cause acute bronchospasm. Patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other bronchial hyperreactivity, are at increased risk for bronchospasm. Ensure that such patients are treated optimally for reactive airway disease prior to and during treatment with YUTREPIA.

Adverse Reactions
The following potential adverse reactions are described in Warnings and Precautions ( 5 ): - Decrease in systemic blood pressure [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . - Bleeding [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . Most common adverse reactions with YUTREPIA (³10%) are cough, headache, throat irritation, and dizziness. ( 6 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Liquidia Technologies, Inc. at 1-888-393-LQDA (5732) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety and tolerability of YUTREPIA was evaluated in an open label study (INSPIRE) of 121 patients with PAH (WHO Group 1 and NYHA Functional Class II [80 patients] and Class III [41 patients]) followed for up to 2 months. The most commonly reported adverse reactions included cough, headache, throat irritation, dizziness, which are known side effects of treprostinil inhalation solution. Table 2 lists the adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of at least 4% of the overall INSPIRE safety population. The adverse reactions in the INSPIRE study were consistent with those observed in previous studies of inhaled treprostinil. Table 2: Adverse Reactions Occurring in ≥ 4% of Patients in the INSPIRE Study *Transition: Patients were on stable doses of treprostinil inhalation solution for at least 3 months prior to enrollment in the study and transitioned to treatment with YUTREPIA. †Add-on: Patients were prostacyclin-naïve and were taking no more than 2 approved oral PAH therapies for at least 3 months at time of enrollment and addition of treatment with YUTREPIA.

Because this reaction is reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate the frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure: • Angioedema
Drug Interactions
7.1 Effect of Cytochrome P450 Inhibitors and Inducers In vitro studies of human hepatic microsomes showed that treprostinil does not inhibit cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 and CYP3A. Additionally, treprostinil does not induce cytochrome P450 isoenzymes CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A. Human pharmacokinetic studies with an oral formulation of treprostinil (treprostinil diolamine) indicated that co-administration of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 enzyme inhibitor gemfibrozil increases exposure (both C max and AUC) to treprostinil. Co-administration of the CYP2C8 enzyme inducer rifampin decreases exposure to treprostinil. It is unclear if the safety and efficacy of treprostinil by the inhalation route are altered by inhibitors or inducers of CYP2C8 [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] . 7.2 Effect of Other Drugs on Treprostinil Drug interaction studies have been carried out with treprostinil (oral or subcutaneous) co-administered with acetaminophen (4 g/day), warfarin (25 mg/day), and fluconazole (200 mg/day), respectively, in healthy volunteers. These studies did not show a clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of treprostinil. Treprostinil does not affect the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of warfarin. The pharmacokinetics of R- and S- warfarin and the INR in healthy subjects given a single 25 mg dose of warfarin were unaffected by continuous subcutaneous infusion of treprostinil at an infusion rate of 10 ng/kg/min.
