MARKET OUTLOOK
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a type of lung disease characterized by the thickening and stiffening of tissues in the lungs. While the prognosis for patients diagnosed with IPF is poor (survival of three to five years after diagnosis, in most cases), various therapies can relieve symptoms, prevent further lung scarring, and improve patients’ quality of life. Different drug classes are used to target the respective physiological mechanisms. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (nintedanib [Boehringer Ingelheim’s Ofev]), for example, blocks the action of enzymes that cause fibrosis, while antifibrotic agents such as pirfenidone (Roche / Genentech’s Esbriet) reduce lung fibrosis by downregulating growth factor production. This analysis of patient-level claims data provides insights into the dynamics of the IPF treatment landscape.
