Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Overview
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive lung disease characterized by the scarring or thickening of lung tissue, which leads to difficulty breathing. The cause of IPF is unknown (“idiopathic”), and it primarily affects older adults. The scarring reduces the lung’s ability to transfer oxygen to the bloodstream, causing symptoms such as shortness of breath, persistent cough, and fatigue. Treatment options are limited, but include medications to slow disease progression and manage symptoms.

Recent Development In The Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Treatment Landscape:
-
In January 2026, Boehringer Ingelheim has announced the initiation of a Phase IIa clinical study to assess BI 765423, a first-in-class monoclonal antibody directed against interleukin-11 (IL-11), in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The trial represents an important step in the company’s ongoing efforts to develop new treatments for progressive fibrotic lung disorders.
-
In January 2026, Jascayd® (nerandomilast/BI 1015550) is a phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor developed by Boehringer Ingelheim for adult patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). It is positioned as the first and only preferential phosphodiesterase-4B (PDE4B) inhibitor approved for IPF treatment in adults. The therapy is marketed as oval, biconvex, film-coated tablets available in 9 mg light-yellow and 18 mg light-red strengths.
-
In September 2025, United Therapeutics is seeking approval for Tyvaso (treprostinil) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) following positive results from a Phase III trial. In the TETON-2 study (NCT05255991), the inhaled prostacyclin mimetic significantly improved forced vital capacity (FVC), showing a 95.6 mL increase from baseline. Since FVC is a crucial indicator of breathing restriction in IPF, this outcome is notable. Additionally, the systemic vasodilator delayed the time to the first clinical worsening event, achieving its key secondary endpoint.
-
In May 2025, Endeavor BioMedicines, a clinical-stage biotech company developing treatments for serious conditions, presented a post hoc analysis from its completed Phase 2a trial of the investigational drug ENV-101 (taladegib). The findings indicated that patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) treated with ENV-101 for 12 weeks showed a marked reduction in pulmonary vessel volume, a significant increase in lung volume, and a trend toward decreased lung fibrosis compared to placebo. This analysis, utilizing Qureight’s advanced deep learning CT technology, was highlighted in a poster presentation at the ATS 2025 International Conference.
-
In February 2025, Pliant Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLRX) has temporarily halted enrollment and dosing in the ongoing BEACON-IPF Phase 2b trial of bexotegrast for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) following a prespecified data review and recommendations from the independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). However, patients already enrolled will continue participation in the trial.
-
In January 2025, Mediar Therapeutics entered into a global licensing agreement with Eli Lilly and Company to progress MTX-463 into a Phase II clinical trial for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). MTX-463 is a novel human IgG1 antibody designed to inhibit WISP1-driven fibrotic signaling associated with multiple severe diseases.
-
In December 2024, Boston-based clinical-stage biotherapeutics company PureTech announced that its Phase IIb trial of deupirfenidone successfully met all primary and secondary endpoints, demonstrating a reduction in lung function decline in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The dose-ranging study assessed deupirfenidone (LYT-100) over 26 days, revealing that the high dose effectively slowed lung degeneration. PureTech aims to position the therapy as a new standard of care (SOC) for IPF
-
In September 2024, Insilico Medicine reported positive initial findings from its Phase IIa clinical trial of ISM001-055, a generative AI-designed small molecule drug for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted at 21 sites in China, enrolling 71 IPF patients. The trial evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of 12-week oral treatment with ISM001-055.
