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.
