Please provide Tresmi human-study datasets on cough reduction, tolerability, and the pivotal endpoints planned for the regulatory filing.
Tresmi Overview:
United Therapeutics Corporation (UTHR) unveiled Tresmi, a proprietary drug-device combination delivering treprostinil via a soft mist inhaler (SMI). Tresmi targets pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and interstitial lung disease (ILD), aiming to significantly reduce the primary side effect associated with dry powder inhalers (DPIs)—coughing—by up to 90% as demonstrated in their human studies so far. The soft mist technology contrasts with the dry powder delivery, improving patient tolerability and adherence 1.
Cough Reduction:
Tresmi demonstrated up to a 90% reduction in coughing relative to dry powder inhalers in internal human studies. This marks a substantial improvement in the treatment’s tolerability profile, addressing the primary reason for treatment discontinuation among PAH and ILD patients using treprostinil therapies 12.
Tolerability:
The switch from dry powder to soft mist inhalation is considered equivalently effective pharmacologically, but markedly easier for patients to tolerate due to reduced adverse coughing incidents. Although detailed clinical study data remain undisclosed, management emphasizes the soft mist inhaler’s potential to improve patient experience and therapy continuation 3.
Clinical Development Status:
Tresmi has emerged from the company's “Skunkworks” stealth division and is on track for regulatory filing within the year, with commercial launch planned in the following year (i.e., launch planned for 2026) 143.
From management commentary:
Tresmi aims to address treprostinil’s main side effect (cough), which historically drives patient discontinuation.
The product is positioned as equivalently effective with a superior tolerability profile.
While exact pivotal endpoints are not explicitly detailed in the excerpts, the focus on cough reduction as the primary differentiating clinical endpoint is clear.
Regulatory submission will likely emphasize clinical endpoints related to:
Given management's emphasis on cough as a leading cause of therapy discontinuation, demonstrating a statistically significant difference in cough-related adverse events will likely be critical.
Management contrasts Tresmi with prior products by highlighting dose frequency and tolerability improvements, indicating that the filing may include data showing sustained drug delivery with patient-friendly dosing, consistent with the product's longer half-life and receptor binding efficiency 25.
| Aspect | Details | Citation |
|---|---|---|
| Cough Reduction | Up to 90% cough reduction vs. dry powder inhalers in human studies | 12 |
| Tolerability | Soft mist inhaler provides equivalent efficacy with greatly improved patient tolerability and decreased treatment discontinuation | 13 |
| Regulatory Filing Plan | Submission planned in 2025 with projected commercial launch in 2026 for PAH and ILD indications | 1243 |
| Pivotal Endpoint Focus | Primary endpoint expected to be clinically significant reduction in cough incidence; maintained treprostinil efficacy (likely based on standard PAH/ILD measures) | 125 |
United Therapeutics’ Tresmi product leverages a novel soft mist inhaler to address a major unmet need in treprostinil therapy — harsh cough leading to discontinuation. Human studies indicate up to a 90% cough reduction, supporting improved tolerability without compromising efficacy. The company plans to file for regulatory approval in 2025, focusing on cough reduction as a pivotal endpoint alongside maintaining therapeutic effect in PAH and ILD. Pending FDA review and approval, Tresmi is positioned to be a category-redefining, commercially transformative product slated for launch in 2026.
This innovative approach underpins United Therapeutics’ confidence in sustaining double-digit revenue growth and expanding their therapeutic leadership in pulmonary hypertension and interstitial lung diseases.

Moderna did not set a numeric approval threshold or confirm a 2027 pivotal-data timeline for mRNA-4359 in melanoma. For mRNA-2808, management highlighted safety, response occurrence and durability in heavily pretreated myeloma, but did not provide numeric success criteria or describe a plan to study the therapy earlier in the treatment pathway.

Synopsys outlines ongoing Factory 2 licensing-royalties shift and a security IP growth path following the Intrinsic ID acquisition, with Investor Day modeling promised but no quantified ramp or TAM in the excerpts.

Research questionGreat. Maybe just a couple of quick ones on IP actually. Maybe just preempting the Analyst Day. I wondered, Sassine, if you can maybe just give us a little bit of outline on the speed of shift to the Factory 2 opportunity you outlined with licensing and royalties. And then secondly, it's been about a year, I think, since we've seen the Intrinsic ID acquisition. And I think at the time, you talked about security IP as being a new vector of growth in IP. Just wanted to hear if you could maybe outline the size of that opportunity, how you've seen engagements go and where in particular you think deployments will happen?
