Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) - Drug Pipeline Landscape, 2022

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) - Drug Pipeline Landscape, 2022

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an irreversible, unpredictable, and fatal disease that makes breathing difficult and causes permanent damage to the lungs. With IPF, progressive scarring, or fibrosis of the lungs, prevents muscles, the heart, and other organs from receiving enough oxygen to work properly. IPF typically occurs in people older than 50, affecting slightly more men than women.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) can cause scarring in the spaces between the air sacs in the lungs, this makes it more difficult for oxygen to pass into bloodstream. The damage can be caused by many different factors including long-term exposure to certain toxins, certain medical conditions, radiation therapy and some medications.

Signs and symptoms of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis may include shortness of breath (dyspnea), a dry cough, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, aching muscles, and joints, widening and rounding of the tips of the fingers or toes (clubbing).

Doctors most often diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis by asking about symptoms. The tests include chest x-ray, high-resolution chest CT, exercise test, biopsy, pulse oximetry and arterial blood gas tests and spirometry.

The most common investigative treatments include two drugs, nintedanib (Ofev) and pirfenidone (Esbriet), oxygen therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation. Symptoms can be eased through lifestyle changes and home remedies like taking healthy food, exercise, quit smoking, get a flu shot and reducing stress.
