Forward guidance

In 2021, the company plans to launch four new products and indications.

Tailwinds

  • Launched commercial sales of the Remunity Pump for Remodulin in February 2021.
  • Plan to launch a label expansion for Tyvaso, to include an indication for PH-ILD, assuming FDA approval in April 2021.
  • Plan to launch the Implantable System for Remodulin, assuming the FDA grants the necessary clearances.
  • Plan to launch Tyvaso DPI, assuming the FDA grants the necessary clearances.
  • The voucher is expected to reduce the typical 12-month timeframe for FDA to review the Tyvaso DPI NDA to eight months.

Headwinds

  • Ability to launch the ISR in 2021, or at all, depends on the ability to work with Medtronic to satisfy the FDA's conditions and other factors, many of which are entirely outside of our control.
  • Resubmission of our NDA for Trevyent will likely be delayed to 2022.
  • Risk that we will not obtain the necessary FDA approvals to launch the products we expect to launch in 2021.
  • The FDA clarified certain matters and indicated that a small clinical study of Trevyent in PAH patients may be required to evaluate further the pharmacokinetic profile and safety as correlated to the pump performance.
  • We are assessing the FDA’s comments and awaiting additional written feedback from the agency.
