Lung fibrosis is a progressive interstitial lung disease characterized by scarring of lung tissue that impairs oxygen exchange and respiratory function. As per R.G. Carbone et al., 2025, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) affects nearly 32,500 individuals in the UK, reflecting an estimated prevalence of about 50 per 100,000 people, highlighting a rising disease burden. The lung fibrosis pipeline includes antifibrotics, immunomodulators, and targeted biologics. According to the lung fibrosis pipeline analysis by Expert Market Research, increasing focus on precision medicine, novel antifibrotic therapies, and clinical-stage innovations is expected to drive growth in treatment development and unmet need coverage over the coming years.
Major companies involved in the lung fibrosis pipeline analysis include Bristol-Myers Squibb, Contineum Therapeutics, Haisco Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd., and others.
Leading drugs currently in the pipeline include BMS-986278, HSK44459, PIPE-791, and others.
Rising idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) prevalence, expansion of antifibrotic therapies, and growing biomarker-driven precision medicine along with increased clinical trials and biologics development are accelerating drug development activity.
The Lung Fibrosis Pipeline Analysis Report by Expert Market Research gives comprehensive insights into lung fibrosis therapeutics currently undergoing clinical trials. It covers various aspects related to the details of each of these drugs under development for lung fibrosis. The Lung Fibrosis report assessment includes the analysis of over 100 pipeline drugs and 50+ companies. The lung fibrosis pipeline landscape will include an analysis based on efficacy and safety measure outcomes published for the trials, including their adverse effects on patients suffering from the condition, and alignment with lung fibrosis treatment guidelines to ensure optimal care practices.
The assessment part will include a detailed analysis of each drug, drug class, clinical studies, phase type, drug type, route of administration, and ongoing product development activities related to lung fibrosis.

Lung fibrosis is a chronic, progressive lung disorder characterized by scarring and thickening of lung tissue, leading to reduced oxygen exchange. It occurs when repeated injury or inflammation triggers abnormal wound-healing responses, causing excessive collagen deposition and stiffening of the lungs, which progressively impairs respiratory function and may lead to respiratory failure.
Lung fibrosis is managed using antifibrotic therapy, oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, and lung transplantation in advanced cases to slow disease progression, improve breathing capacity, and enhance quality of life management. In December 2025, the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) approved JASCAYD (nerandomilast), a preferential phosphodiesterase 4B inhibitor, for progressive pulmonary fibrosis. Clinical data from FIBRONEER-ILD demonstrated reduced decline in forced vital capacity, highlighting its immunomodulatory and antifibrotic benefits in lung fibrosis treatment.
According to R.G. Carbone et al., 2025, approximately 32,500 individuals in the United Kingdom are living with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), with a prevalence of 50 per 100,000 inhabitants. The Lung Fibrosis Pipeline is driven by rising incidence, with nearly 6,000 new cases annually in the United Kingdom and increasing global rates across regions. As per studies, adjusted incidence ranges from 0.9–13 per 100,000 globally, while prevalence is steadily rising. Median survival remains 4.5 years, with a standardized mortality ratio of 4.66, highlighting strong unmet need in fibrosis treatment and advanced therapeutic development.
This section of the report covers the analysis of lung fibrosis drug candidates based on several segmentations, including:
By Phase

By Drug Class
The lung fibrosis pipeline analysis report covers 50+ drug analyses based on drug classes:
By Route of Administration
The pipeline assessment report covers 50+ drug analyses based on the route of administration:
The report covers phase I, phase II, phase III, phase IV, and early-phase drugs. The coverage includes an in-depth analysis of each drug across these phases. According to EMR analysis, phase II, at 47%, covers a major share of the total lung fibrosis clinical trials with strong clinical advancement. Phase I is at 22% supporting early-stage development, phase III at 18% enabling late-stage validation, early phase I at 7% driving initial discovery, and phase IV at 6% providing post-marketing evidence, collectively enhancing innovation and market expansion.
The drug molecule categories covered under the lung fibrosis pipeline analysis include small. The Lung Fibrosis report provides a comparative analysis of the drug classes for each drug in various phases of clinical trials for lung fibrosis. Targeted drug therapies in the pipeline are advancing with novel mechanisms aimed at slowing disease progression and improving pulmonary function. For instance, the emerging TNIK inhibitor rentosertib represents an AI-discovered approach that modulates fibrotic signaling pathways in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Moreover, other investigational antifibrotic agents are being evaluated to reduce lung tissue scarring and preserve respiratory capacity.
The EMR report for the lung fibrosis pipeline covers the profile of key companies involved in clinical trials and their drugs under development. It provides a detailed lung fibrosis therapeutic assessment, analyzing the competitive dynamics of the clinical trial landscape. Below is the list of a few players involved in lung fibrosis clinical trials:
This section covers the detailed analysis of each drug under multiple phases, including phase I, phase II, phase III, phase IV, and emerging drugs for lung fibrosis. It includes product description, trial ID, study type, drug class, mode of administration, and recruitment status of lung fibrosis drug candidates.
Admilparant (BMS-986278) is a Bristol-Myers Squibb–sponsored oral, small molecule lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPA1) antagonist that is being evaluated for pulmonary fibrosis. It is working by blocking LPA1 signaling, which is associated with fibrotic progression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and progressive pulmonary fibrosis. This Phase III, open-label, long-term extension study is examining the safety and tolerability of the drug in participants who are continuing from prior parent studies. The study is enrolling an estimated 2,277 participants, with completion expected by March 2030. The drug is being administered orally.
HSK44459 is a novel oral phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) inhibitor exhibiting anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic activity and is being administered as tablets in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical study sponsored by Haisco Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. in adults with progressive pulmonary fibrosis. The study is examining the efficacy as the primary objective while also evaluating safety and pharmacokinetics in the target population. It is enrolling approximately 378 participants and is being initiated in April 2026, with an estimated study completion in March 2029, aiming to improve clinical outcomes in this chronic, progressive lung disease.
PIPE-791 is an oral, brain-penetrant small molecule lysophosphatidic acid 1 (LPA1) receptor antagonist being developed by Contineum Therapeutics for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter global study, examining its efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in approximately 324 participants receiving two dose arms or placebo, with or without background therapy. The study is conducting a 26-week treatment period and a total duration of up to 36 weeks including follow-up, with completion expected around June 2028. It is investigating lung fibrosis progression modulation and symptom improvement.
