Lung & Respiratory Research Breakthroughs: Biologic Approvals, Dual-Target Asthma Drugs, and IPF Trials 🫁💡
This week on Lung & Respiratory Health Updates, we’re spotlighting seven high-impact breakthroughs driving the future of respiratory medicine. From FDA green lights to global trial launches, these updates reshape care pathways for COPD, asthma, IPF, and more. Don’t miss this concise briefing on the most critical developments:
💉 GSK’s Nucala Gets FDA Approval for Eosinophilic COPD
Nucala becomes the first biologic approved for eosinophilic COPD. Supported by METREX and MATINEE Phase 3 trials, it reduces exacerbations, including ER visits and hospitalizations.
🧴 YUTREPIA Inhalation Powder Approved for PAH and PH-ILD
Delivered via a low-effort, palm-sized inhaler, YUTREPIA is now FDA-approved for improving exercise capacity in pulmonary arterial hypertension and interstitial lung disease.
🇨🇦 GSK’s Depemokimab Under Health Canada Review
If approved, this ultra-long-acting IL-5 biologic would offer six-month dosing for asthma and nasal polyps, backed by SWIFT and ANCHOR data showing strong anti-inflammatory results.
🤝 ISAB Partners with BioLum to Expand U.S. Respiratory Access
Strategic alliance to bring PreciseInhale® and DissolvIt® to more U.S. labs—aligning with FDA goals to prioritize in vitro over animal models in respiratory R&D.
🔬 Teva and Biolojic Advance BD9 for Dual Targeting in Asthma
BD9, developed using AI-driven Multibody tech, targets both IL-13 and TSLP for better control of TH2-driven asthma and dermatitis. IND-enabling studies are now underway.
🧬 Tvardi Wraps Phase 2 Enrollment in IPF STAT3 Trial
TTI-101 may offer a fibrosis-reversing option in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, with topline results expected by Q4 2025. The therapy directly targets STAT3, a key driver of fibrotic progression.
🚀 Rein Doses First Patient in Global LTI-03 Trial for IPF
With up to 50 sites involved, this Phase 2 study evaluates a Caveolin-1-based peptide designed to enhance epithelial cell survival and reduce fibrosis signaling. Interim data is expected in the first half of 2026.
