Boehringer Ingelheim’s Ofev Grabs European Approval for Pulmonary Fibrosis
The European Commission has approved Boehringer Ingelheim’s Ofev (nintendanib) for treatment of patients with chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILD) with a progressive trait.
The approval was based on a phase 3 trial in which the treatment reduced the risk of death or acute exacerbations compared to a placebo. It also slowed lung function decline by 57 percent.
The FDA approved Ofev as the first treatment for the same patient population in March.
