Quantum also distributes Glaxo Wellcome's Flolan, a drug for severe primary pulmonary hypertension.
The intravenous drug, called Flolan, or prostacyclin, buys an extra five years of life for about 60 percent of patients.
Under an agreement with GlaxoSmithKline, Myogen marketed Flolan ( epoprostenol sodium ) in the United States for the treatment of primary pulmonary hypertension.
In patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension requiring transition from epoprostenol sodium ( Flolan ), treprostinil is indicated to diminish the rate of clinical deterioration.
The current cost of treatment with 24-hour infusion of Flolan, the only available drug, through an implanted catheter is $ 120, 000 a year, she says.
