On October 25, 2017 United Therapeutics Corporation (NASDAQ: UTHR) reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017 (Press release, United Therapeutics, OCT 25, 2017, View Source [SID1234521159]).

"Our third quarter net revenues totaled $446 million," said Martine Rothblatt, Ph.D., United Therapeutics Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition, Orenitram’s third quarter net revenues grew 29%, as compared to the same period in the prior year, resulting in two consecutive quarters of greater than 20% net revenue growth for this product. This further confirms our belief in the organic growth opportunity of Orenitram, which is the only true oral prostacyclin analog therapy for the large and increasing number of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients. We also continued to invest in our growing pipeline of late stage programs in cardiopulmonary diseases and oncology, including the initial enrollment of patients into our phase III DISTINCT study of dinutuximab in small cell lung cancer, and our SOUTHPAW study of Orenitram in patients with WHO Group 2 pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart failure. Finally, we have continued to invest in our regenerative medicine and organ manufacturing programs to ultimately find a cure for PAH and other end-stage organ diseases."
