According to GlobalData’s company profile on United Therapeutics, Cancer treatment biomarkers was a key innovation area identified from patents. United Therapeutics's grant share as of January 2024 was 46%. Grant share is based on the ratio of number of grants to total number of patents.
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11839631B2) discloses a method for treating pulmonary hypertension by administering a combination of a first prostacyclin and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to a subject suffering from the condition. The MSCs are pre-treated with a second prostacyclin before administration, with the option of using the same prostacyclin for both treatments. The first prostacyclin can be treprostinil, and it can be co-administered with MSCs or administered before or after MSCs.
Furthermore, the method allows for the ex vivo contact of MSCs with the second prostacyclin, along with the option of adding a growth factor during this process. The MSCs can be obtained from the subject themselves, offering a personalized approach to treatment. This method is particularly beneficial for patients suffering from pulmonary arterial hypertension, providing a novel and potentially effective therapeutic strategy for managing this condition.
