Drug Overview
Ralinepag (Arena Pharmaceuticals/Everest Medicines) is a selective prostaglandin I2 receptor agonist.

Analyst Outlook
Ralinepag (Arena Pharmaceuticals/Everest Medicines) lags behind in its development compared to other oral prostacyclins. The availability of Orenitram (treprostinil; United Therapeutics) and Uptravi (selexipag; Johnson & Johnson/Nippon Shinyaku), with larger evidence bases and established patient shares, will likely pose tough competition for ralinepag when it reaches the market. Additionally, ralinepag may suffer from its lack of novelty. Thus far, it is undifferentiated from competitors considering its narrow targeted patient population of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients and its “me-too” status. Moreover, ralinepag’s weak efficacy demonstrated in its Phase II trial is uncompetitive. The author awaits the announcement of a Phase III trial, as preparations are under way. Meanwhile, Arena Pharmaceuticals would do well to find a large strategic partner to maximize ralinepag’s chances of success.
