IN THE NEWSPulmonary fibrosis is a lung disorder characterized by damage or scarring of the lung tissue. Once the tissue is damaged, it obstructs the passageway for air and thus hinders the normal functioning of the lungs. It is usually caused as a result of certain medical conditions, exposure to toxins, pollutants or radiation or by certain medications.
When the cause of this condition is not known, it is termed as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The common symptoms of this disease include shortness of breath or dyspnea, fatigue, dry cough, weight loss and pain in muscles and joints. Eventually, it may lead to respiratory failure or pulmonary hypertension.
As per the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, the disease affects about 1 out of 200 adults above the age of 70 years in the United States. Moreover, around 50,000 new cases of pulmonary fibrosis are diagnosed in the country every year.
The pulmonary fibrosis drugs market is anticipated to record a significantly high CAGR over the forecast period, i.e., 2020-2028. The market is segmented by drug and by region, out of which, the drug segment is further bifurcated into pirfenidone and nintedanib. The segment for pirfenidone is anticipated to hold the largest share in the pulmonary fibrosis drugs market on account of increased usage of the drug ever since it received approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Esbriet is a pirfenidone drug manufactured by Genentech, Inc. and approved by the U.S. FDA in 2014 in the United States. The drug is available as oral dosage in the form of either capsules or tablets. The most common adverse reactions consist of rash, nausea, headache, fatigue, dizziness, insomnia and upper respiratory tract infections. The segment for nintedanib is predicted to grow at a substantial rate as well, owing to the high demand for the drug. Ofev is a nintedanib drug which received FDA approval in 2014 in the United States. This drug, developed by Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH, is in the form of capsules for oral use. Ofev is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
There are certain risk factors which lead to the occurrence of pulmonary fibrosis. These include geriatric population, smoking, exposure to toxins, cancer treatments along with some genetic factors. According to the National Health Service (NHS) in UK, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) commonly affects people between the ages of 70 and 75 years, and it rarely occurs among people under the age of 50 years. Moreover, it states that about 1 in 20 people with IPF have a family history of the disease. These risk factors are estimated to drive the market growth in coming years.
