The company also plans further filings, including an IND for ralinepag DPI and an NDA for treprostinil SMI, and expects Tyvaso DPI to follow into IPF and PPF. Furthermore, the organ manufacturing pipeline is advancing rapidly with ongoing or planned clinical trials for liver, kidney, heart, and lung products, alongside the launch of two xeno-organ production facilities later this year.
