Background

Nintedanib is a small molecule kinase inhibitor used in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It was first approved for use in the United States in 2014. Within the spectrum of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treatment options, nintedanib is currently one of only two disease-modifying therapies available and indicated for the condition (the other being Pirfenidone) and as such is used as a first-line treatment following diagnosis to slow down the progressive loss of lung function. As a chemotherapeutic agent for NSCLC, nintedanib, in combination with Docetaxel, is reserved for patients who have tried and failed first-line chemotherapeutic options.

Indication

Nintedanib is indicated for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and to slow declining pulmonary function in patients with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease. It is also indicated for the treatment of chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases with a progressive phenotype.

In the EU, under the brand name Vargatef, nintedanib is indicated in combination with docetaxel for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic, locally advanced, or locally recurrent non-small cell lung cancer of adenocarcinoma histology who have already tried first-line therapy.
