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. They are currently focused on the development of two product candidates for which they hold worldwide commercial rights: LIQ861 for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, or PAH, and LIQ865 for the treatment of local post-operative pain. Their lead product candidate, LIQ861, is being evaluated in a Phase\u00a03 trial. LIQ861 is a dry powder formulation of treprostinil designed to improve the therapeutic profile of treprostinil by enhancing deep-lung delivery and achieving higher dose levels than current inhaled therapies. They have applied their PRINT technology to enable them to deliver LIQ861 through a convenient, disposable dry powder inhaler, or DPI. They have also applied their PRINT technology to their second product candidate, LIQ865, for which they have recently completed a Phase\u00a01b clinical trial. LIQ865 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 their two product candidates, they collaborate, and intend to collaborate, with leading pharmaceutical companies to develop their own product candidates across a wide range of therapeutic areas, molecule types and routes of administration, leveraging their PRINT technology.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipoboutique.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/LQDA.drugs_.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4573\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ipoboutique.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/LQDA.drugs_.jpg\" alt=\"LQDA.drugs\" width=\"681\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ipoboutique.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/LQDA.drugs_.jpg 681w, https:\/\/www.ipoboutique.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/LQDA.drugs_-600x198.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ipoboutique.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/LQDA.drugs_-300x99.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Insider Buying:\u00a0<\/strong>Certain existing investors have indicated an interest in purchasing an aggregate of up to $30.0 million of shares of their common stock in this offering at the initial public offering price.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Licensing Agreement:\u00a0<\/strong>They are party to a licensing agreement with GSK (Glaxosmith Kline) pursuant to which GSK has exercised an option to exclusively license our PRINT technology for applications in certain inhaled therapies, or the GSK ICO Agreement.
