ABOUT LIQUIDIA TECHNOLOGIES

Liquidia Technologies, Inc. (“Liquidia”) is a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of human therapeutics using its proprietary PRINT® technology to transform the lives of patients. PRINT® is a particle engineering platform that enables precise production of uniform drug particles designed to improve the safety, efficacy and performance of a wide range of therapies. Currently, Liquidia is focused on the development of two product candidates for which it holds worldwide commercial rights: LIQ861 for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and LIQ865 for the treatment of local post-operative pain. Liquidia’s lead product candidate, LIQ861, currently being evaluated in a Phase 3 clinical trial (INSPIRE), is designed to improve the therapeutic profile of treprostinil by enhancing deep-lung delivery and achieving higher dose levels than current inhaled therapies by using a convenient, disposable dry powder inhaler. LIQ865, for which Liquidia has recently completed a U.S. Phase 1b clinical trial, is designed to deliver sustained-release particles of bupivacaine, a non-opioid anesthetic, to treat local post-operative pain for three to five days through a single administration. In addition to developing its own product candidates, Liquidia collaborates with leading pharmaceutical companies to develop their own product candidates across a wide range of therapeutic areas, molecule types and routes of administration, leveraging Liquidia’s PRINT®technology.

Liquidia Initiates Phase 3 Clinical Trial of LIQ861 in Patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – January 3, 2018 – Liquidia Technologies, Inc., a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on improving the performance of medicine by precisely engineering drug particles, today announced the initiation of a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating LIQ861 for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). LIQ861, developed using Liquidia’s proprietary PRINT® technology, is a powder formulation of treprostinil designed for deep-lung delivery using a disposable, dry powder inhaler (DPI). PAH is a chronic, progressive disease caused by the hardening and narrowing of the pulmonary arteries, which often results in heart failure. Previously approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in oral, nebulized and parenteral formulations, treprostinil is a synthetic analog of prostacyclin, a vasoactive mediator deficient in patients with PAH yet essential to normal lung function to regulate vessel tone.

Liquidia Technologies Announces Positive Phase 1 Data for LIQ865, Sustained-Delivery PRINT® Formulation of Bupivacaine for Post-Surgical Pain Relief

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – May 24, 2017 – Liquidia Technologies, Inc., today announced initial data from its LIQ865 internal clinical development program, which is a PRINT® formulation for the sustained-delivery of free base bupivacaine for post-surgical pain relief. The phase 1 trial, marking the first evaluation of LIQ865 in humans, was a randomized, controlled, double-blind study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetic profile and pharmacodynamic response of a single-ascending dose in healthy adult males. Topline data indicate that LIQ865 doses were well tolerated and the pharmacodynamic response was consistent with a local anesthetic effect lasting for three or more days.

Liquidia Technologies Announces Extension of Collaboration with PATH to Develop Next Generation Pneumococcal Vaccine

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC– May 21, 2013 – Liquidia Technologies today announced that its collaborative agreement with PATH, a global health nonprofit organization, has been extended. The extension of this agreement allows for the continuation of preclinical proof-of-concept studies on a next generation pneumococcal vaccine. If successful, the vaccine could potentially allow for broadened efficacy and manufacturing efficiencies that translate to greater access to the vaccine by the global population. Pneumonia kills approximately 1.3 million children under the age of five years every year—more than any other illness. Nearlyhalf of these deaths are caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, a bacterium that has many variations globally and is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics.

“We are exceptionally proud of the work we have done with PATH and excited about the opportunity to continue this work with them,” said Neal Fowler, Chief Executive Officer at Liquidia Technologies. “Our shared goal to improve vaccine performance and reduce manufacturing costs using our transformative technology remains unchanged as does our confidence that this collaboration has the potential to significantly impact the spread of pneumonia in the developing world.”

Nanotechnology firm Liquidia plans new ophthalmology company

MORRISVILLE, N.C. — Nanotechnology company Liquidia Technologies plans to form a new ophthalmology company with an experimental glaucoma treatment expected to start clinical trials in 2014.

Morrisville-based Liquidia said today that the new company would be able to advance Liquidia’s efforts to create products in ophthalmology and other therapeutic areas while also maximizing the return for the company’s investors. WRAL Tech Wire reported in February that Liquidia was considering spinning out one or more companies this year.

Liquidia offered few other details in today’s announcement, other than to say it would have more information later in the second quarter. In a statement, CEO Neal Fowler said that the structure for creating and financing the new company will be considered for other assets and therapeutic areas.

Liquidia’s proprietary “PRINT” technology enables a nanoparticle manufacturer to control the size and shape of the nanoparticles. Changing the size and shape of a nanoparticle can improve drug delivery and reduce side effects. Vaccines were Liquidia’s first target, a pursuit that GlaxoSmithKline liked enough to strike a licensing deal that gave GSK exclusive rights to develop new vaccines with the technology.

Liquidia said in today’s announcement that it independent from the new ophthalmology business, Liquidia will continue to focus on vaccine and pulmonary product development, including the work that has already begun under the GSK partnership.

Liquidia’s technology is a platform technology that has medical as well as consumer product applications. Fowler has acknowledged a partnership with Proctor & Gamble (NYSE: PG). In February, Fowler said that Liquidia’s PRINT technology can be used to make nanoparticles that improve how a product is delivered to the skin. At the time, he said an ophthalmology company could be spun out first, followed by a consumer product with P&G.
