Bristol Myers Squibb is sharing its phase 2 results at the European Respiratory Society 2023 international congress this week.

The clinical win ups the pressure on a pair of entrenched blockbusters in interstitial lung disease—Roche’s Esbriet and Boehringer Ingelheim’s Ofev.

Notably, 38% of patients in the study received a background antifibrotic therapy like Roche’s pirfenidone, also known as Esbriet, or Boehringer’s nintedanib, which goes by the commercial moniker Ofev.

PPF is less common than its sibling idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), though PPF has shown a similar prognosis to IPF. Both diseases are fatal, with a median survival time of three to five years and a five-year survival rate of roughly 45%, BMS said in a press release.

Things didn’t go as smoothly for the lower IPFe of PPF drug, which only charted a 42% relative reduction in forced vital capacity versus placebo.
However, BMS noted that across doses, treatment was consistent with or without background antifibrotics like Esbriet and Ofev.
BMS-986278’s safety profile was generally well tolerated in both treatment arms, BMS said. Side effect rates Esbriet par Ofev the dummy drug, and discontinuation rates were low, the company added.
