Ofev (nintedanib) is indicated in adults for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
Ofev is also indicated in adults for the treatment of other chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) with a progressive phenotype.1
IPF is a chronic, progressive, fibrosing interstitial pneumonia of unknown cause. It is characterised by worsening breathlessness and irreversible loss of lung function. 2-4
Despite being a rare disease, chronic interstitial lung disease accounted for 1.1% of deaths in Ireland, according to 2015 data.5,6
Mortality can be precipitated by acute exacerbations of IPF, which may occur at any time; around 50% of patients hospitalised for an acute exacerbation die in hospital.3,7
