The emerging therapies for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis include a great deal of emerging drugs Tyvaso (treprostinil), BI 1015550, and others. The emerging therapies in the pipeline have the potential to change the IPF market size and manage the disease burden and progression.
LAS VEGAS, Sept. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is when the lungs become scarred, and breathing becomes increasingly difficult. Damage to the alveolar epithelium and abnormal wound repair are theorized to be key factors in the development of this disease.
Although the cause of IPF is unknown, researchers postulate that the disease probably results from genetic and environmental factors. There is a strong possibility that genetic changes increase a person's risk of developing IPF and subsequent exposure to certain environmental factors that further trigger the disease. However, much is still unknown about this emerging field of study.
As per DelveInsight analysis, the total diagnosed prevalent cases of IPF in the 7MM was 193K cases in 2023 which are expected to rise, at a significant CAGR during the study period (2020–2034).
The therapeutic approach of IPF involves both nonpharmacological and pharmacological strategies. The goal of the treatment is to slow disease progression, reduce symptoms, prevent acute exacerbations, and prolong survival.
Currently, two drugs, OFEV (nintedanib) and ESBRIET (pirfenidone), are approved for treating IPF. These drugs are classified as anti-fibrotic agents, which clinical trials have shown to slow down lung fibrosis or scarring. Pirfenidone is a modified pyridine small molecule with anti-fibrotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.

Pirfenidone reduces the likelihood of respiratory-related hospitalization over a year of treatment. It is generally well-tolerated, with mild side effects such as skin rash, weight loss, nausea, and fatigue. However, there have been instances of abnormal liver function, including elevated serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and bilirubin levels, necessitating regular liver function monitoring for patients on pirfenidone.
Nintedanib is an intracellular tyrosine kinase inhibitor that binds to adenosine triphosphate binding sites, thus inhibiting the signaling pathways associated with vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1–3, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor α and β. The main side effects are diarrhea and nausea, which are manageable with medication, but hepatotoxicity can occur in rare cases.
Before May 2022, ESBRIET and OFEV were the only approved treatments for IPF available on the market. However, Sandoz Pharmaceutical recently launched a generic version of pirfenidone in the US. This new entry is expected to significantly impact Hoffmann-La Roche's ESBRIET market and disrupt the market for OFEV as well.
Over the years, various drugs have been studied for treating IPF. With the ongoing need for more advanced and specific treatment approaches, new therapies beyond conventional methods are being developed for IPF.

Companies across the globe are diligently working toward the development of novel treatment therapies with a considerable amount of success over the years. To date, there are several emerging market players, United Therapeutics, Boehringer Ingelheim, Pliant Therapeutics, Inc., and others that are developing drugs for the treatment of IPF.

Tyvaso (treprostinil), developed by United Therapeutics, is a prostacyclin mimetic approved to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH; WHO Group 1) and pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD; WHO Group 3), aiming to enhance exercise capacity. The company is currently conducting a global Phase III clinical trial called TETON 1 to evaluate Tyvaso for the treatment of patients with IPF.
BI 1015550, an experimental oral PDE4B inhibitor with both antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory properties, is under development by Boehringer Ingelheim. Recently, the company released encouraging 12-week Phase II data demonstrating a reduction in lung function decline in IPF patients. The drug is now in Phase III of clinical trials.
PLN-74809, the leading program from Pliant Therapeutics, is an oral, small-molecule dual selective inhibitor targeting αVβ1 and αVβ6 integrins, under development for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). These integrins are responsible for the upstream activation of TGF-β1 in fibrotic tissues. By inhibiting these integrins, PLN-74809 aims to block TGF-β1 activation, thus preventing the growth of fibrotic tissue in the lungs and bile ducts. The drug is currently in Phase II of clinical development.
Fipaxalparant (HZN-825), developed by Horizon Therapeutics/Amgen, is an oral selective lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPAR-1) antagonist that has demonstrated promising early clinical results in treating systemic sclerosis. The company is now conducting a Phase II pivotal trial to assess HZN-825 for the treatment of IPF.
