• Obtaining a favorable ruling in our Inter Partes Review (IPR) challenge against U.S. Patent No. 8,497,393 (the '393 patent) owned by United Therapeutics Corporation in early Q2.
• Subject to the granting of Priority Review of the NDA for Trevyent, obtaining approval for commercial sale of Trevyent by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Q4.
• Subject to approval of Trevyent, obtaining Orphan Exclusivity from the FDA and securing seven (7) years of market exclusivity.
• Continuing to create awareness of PAH via our BePhenomenal pulmonary hypertension community support program. Please visit www.BePhenomenal.com for more information.

“2017 is expected to be a pivotal year for SteadyMed as we focus our resources on key strategic goals and priorities related to the approval of our lead drug product candidate Trevyent,” said Jonathan Rigby, President & CEO of SteadyMed. “We are confident that we can execute on these initiatives and priorities. With our existing cash, plus the $10.7 million that is callable upon achievement of certain milestones per the second tranche of our last private financing, we can fund operations for at least the next twelve months. We are now eagerly looking forward to the commercial launch of Trevyent, if approved, in 2018.”
