GB0139 (formerly TD139): A potential therapeutic for IPF?
Looks at the mechanism by which GB0139 functions and its current status within clinical trial for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a disorder characterized by chronic and progressive scarring of lung tissue. The cause of this disease is currently unknown. However, it can significantly impair one’s quality of life as patients often experience difficulty breathing. The seriousness of this disease makes finding effective treatment of paramount importance. Current pharmacological interventions are riddled with side-effects. Several clinical trials are underway in hopes of finding an effective therapy with little to no side-effects. One of the drugs showing promise as a potential therapeutic for IPF is GB0139 (formerly TD139). Here, we delve deeper into the mechanism by which GB0139 functions and its current status within clinical trials, providing hope for individuals who have been diagnosed with IPF.
