Overview

 

We are a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of unique products to address the unmet medical needs of patients with chronic and life-threatening cardiovascular and infectious diseases and cancer. Since our inception in June 1996, we have devoted a significant amount of our resources to research and development programs and acquisitions.

 

Our key therapeutic platforms include:

 

·                  Prostacyclin analogues: stable synthetic forms of prostacyclin, an important molecule produced by the body that has powerful effects on blood vessel health and function;

 

·                  Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors: molecules that act to inhibit the degradation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in cells. cGMP is activated by nitric oxide (NO), a naturally occurring substance in the body that mediates the relaxation of vascular smooth muscle;

 

·                  Monoclonal antibodies: antibodies that activate patients’ immune systems to treat cancer; and

 

·                  Glycobiology antiviral agents: a novel class of small, sugar-like molecules that have shown pre-clinical indications of efficacy against a broad range of viruses.

 

We focus most of our resources on these key therapeutic platforms. In addition, we devote resources to the commercialization and development of telemedicine products and services, principally for the detection of cardiac arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms).

 

We began generating pharmaceutical revenues in 2002 upon receiving approval from the FDA for our lead product, Remodulin® (treprostinil sodium) Injection (Remodulin) to be administered via subcutaneous (under the skin) infusion for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Since 2002, the FDA has expanded its approval of Remodulin for intravenous (in the vein) use and for the treatment of patients who require transition from Flolan®. In addition to the United States, Remodulin is approved in many other countries worldwide, primarily for subcutaneous use. We are also developing both inhaled and oral forms of treprostinil for the treatment of PAH. To further these initiatives, we filed a New Drug Application (NDA) with the FDA for our inhaled formulation of treprostinil in June 2008 and a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) with the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) for inhaled treprostinil in December 2008. Presently, FDA and EMEA reviews of inhaled treprostinil are underway. The EMEA granted Orphan Medicinal Product Designation for inhaled and oral treprostinil for PAH in April 2004 and August 2005, respectively. We are currently conducting several clinical trials related to oral treprostinil.
