“The ZEPHYRUS programme consists of two Phase III clinical trials that will evaluate the ability of pamrevlumab to attenuate fibrosis and lung function decline in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. IPF is a fatal progressive disease, and patients need new treatment options to improve their clinical outcomes.”

Pamrevlumab is currently in Phase III clinical development to treat locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer (LAPC), and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), in addition to IPF.

It already received orphan drug designation, and fast track designation from the US Food and Drug Administration to treat IPF, DMD, and LAPC.

In addition, pamrevlumab obtained rare paediatric disease designation from the regulator to treat DMD patients.

According to the company, pamrevlumab showed a safety and tolerability profile that has supported ongoing clinical investigation in IPF, DMD, and LAPC.
