PSY54 - BUDGET IMPACT ANALYSIS OF NINTEDANIB IN IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY FIBROSIS IN TURKEY

Nintedanib for treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Clinical use of nintedanib in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare lung disease characterised by progressive loss of lung function, dyspnoea and cough. IPF has a variable clinical course but a poor prognosis. Nintedanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is one of two drugs approved for the treatment of IPF. In clinical trials, nintedanib slowed disease progression by reducing the rate of decline in forced vital capacit...

Efficacy and Safety of Nintedanib in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

BACKGROUND Nintedanib (formerly known as BIBF 1120) is an intracellular inhibitor that targets multiple tyrosine kinases. A phase 2 trial suggested that treatment with 150 mg of nintedanib twice daily reduced lung-function decline and acute exacerbations in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. METHODS We conducted two replicate 52-week, randomized, double-blind, phase 3 trials (INPULS...

Nintedanib: evidence for its therapeutic potential in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive disease with poor prognosis. The molecular mechanisms involved in the progression of IPF are not fully understood; however, the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)/PDGF receptor pathway is thought to play a critical role in fibrogenesis of the lungs. Other growth factors, including fibroblast growth factor and vascular endothelial growth fa...
