INTRODUCTION
Inflammation
Pulmonary fibrosis is the manifestation of many different conditions that causes scar tissue to build up in the lungs and patients suffering from the condition often experience breathing difficulty. Pulmonory Fibrosis is a common threat across a wide range of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), including connective tissue diseases (CTDs) and can be a key driver of irreversible harm and early mortality, and requires urgent identification and intervention.1
In 2014, we have forayed into the space of inflammation and have emerged as a leader in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) to help patients suffering with their disease.2 Since then, we have gotten approvals globally for other types of lung diseases such as Systemic Sclerosis interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) and progressive fibrosis interstitial lung disease (PF-ILD).3,4 To date, OFEV® has clinical experience exceeding 80,000 patient-years worldwide.5
