LPA1 Modulation: Admilparant’s Role in the Evolution of IPF and PPF Therapies
Author(s)Eric Cannon, PharmD, FAMCP
Eric Cannon, PharmD, FAMCP, discusses how LPA1 receptor activation promotes fibrosis in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) through myofibroblast differentiation and ECM production. Admilparant shows promising antifibrotic activity in preclinical models but requires phase 3 efficacy data. As a novel targeted therapy, it may complement existing antifibrotics, particularly for progressive phenotypes with high LPA1 expression.
