About Yutrepia

What is this medication? Yutrepia is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient treprostinil, which is a synthetic analogue of prostacyclin. It is designed as an inhalation powder administered through a specific dry powder inhaler device. This medication is primarily used to treat adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension, which is a condition where the blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs is too high. By acting as a vasodilator, the medicine helps to open up these blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood through the lungs.

In addition to its use for pulmonary arterial hypertension, Yutrepia is indicated for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease. The goal of this therapy is to improve the exercise capacity of patients, allowing them to remain more active and potentially slowing the progression of their symptoms. By reducing the resistance in the pulmonary vascular bed, the medication helps alleviate the strain on the heart and improves overall respiratory efficiency for individuals suffering from these specific types of lung-related cardiovascular issues.

Indications and usage
1 INDICATIONS AND 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 and administration
2 DOSAGE AND 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 and precautions
5 WARNINGS AND 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.
Drug interactions
7 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.
Adverse reactions
6 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
Use in pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Limited case reports of treprostinil use in pregnant women are insufficient to inform a drug-associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. However, there are risks to the mother and the fetus associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (see Clinical Considerations ). In animal studies, no adverse reproductive and developmental effects were seen for treprostinil at 3 9 and 3 145 times the human exposure when based on C max and AUC, respectively, following a single YUTREPIA dose of 79.5 mcg [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-associated maternal and embryo-fetal risk Pulmonary arterial hypertension is associated with an increased risk of maternal and fetal mortality. Data Animal reproduction studies have been conducted with treprostinil via continuous subcutaneous administration and with treprostinil diolamine administered orally. In studies with orally administered treprostinil diolamine, no adverse effect doses for fetal viability/growth, fetal development (teratogenicity), and postnatal development were determined in rats. In pregnant rats, no evidence of harm to the fetus was observed following oral administration of treprostinil diolamine at the highest dose tested (20 mg/kg/day), which represents about 154 and 1479 times the human exposure, when based on C max and AUC, respectively, following a single YUTREPIA dose of 79.5 mcg. In pregnant rabbits, external fetal and soft tissue malformations and fetal skeletal malformation occurred. The dose at which no adverse effects were seen (0.5 mg/kg/day) represents about 9 and 145 times the human exposure, when based on C max and AUC, respectively, following a single YUTREPIA dose of 79.5 mcg. No treprostinil treatment-related effects on labor and delivery were seen in animal studies. Animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response.
