Abstract

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease with unclear etiology. Clinical manifestations include dyspnea and nonproductive cough. Lung transplantation is the only cure, while Pirfenidone and Nintedanib are FDA-approved drugs for slowing disease progression. However, Saracatinib shows greater efficacy. This literature review assesses the safety and efficacy of IPF treatments, focusing on Pirfenidone and Nintedanib, which preserve lung function and reduce fibrosis and inflammation. We also evaluate emerging treatments such as saracatinib, pamrevlumab, pentraxin-2, BI 1015550, ziritaxestat, PBI-4050, bexotegrast, BMS-986020, TD 139, dasatinib, quercetin, and etanercept. Additional research is needed to explore the therapeutic potential and address gaps in IPF management, including exacerbation and associated pulmonary hypertension (PH). Immunosuppressive agents are used to manage IPF exacerbations, while PH is a recognized comorbidity. Clinical trials, PULSAR and SPECTRA, investigate Sotatercept as a potential PH treatment for IPF patients, showing promising results.
