SÃO PAULO, 9 de julho de 2020 /PRNewswire/ --  Pacientes com doenças pulmonares têm um novo tratamento disponível no Brasil. O medicamento nintedanibe, da farmacêutica Boehringer Ingelheim, recebeu aprovação da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA)[2] para doenças pulmonares intersticiais (DPIs) fibrosantes com fenótipo progressivo, uma condição crônica, na qual a fibrose pulmonar continua a piorar. É a primeira terapia para esse tipo da doença, a receber aprovação para tratar a fibrose pulmonar progressiva, que pode ser causada por diferentes doenças[3].

"A nova indicação é um divisor de águas para médicos, mas principalmente para 13 mil pacientes no Brasil que agora poderão ter uma nova esperança com uma possível redução de 57% no avanço da doença" explica o pneumologista Dr. Carlos Pereira. As DPIs pertencem ao grupo de doenças raras e abrangem mais de 200 distúrbios que podem levar a uma cicatrização irreversível do tecido do pulmão (fibrose), que afeta negativamente a função do órgão, comprometendo a capacidade respiratória3,[4].

"Estamos muito orgulhosos com a aprovação do nintedanibe como o primeiro medicamento para fibrose pulmonar crônica e progressiva. A indicação reforça nosso know-how em tratamentos respiratórios e reflete a nossa preocupação em revolucionar o tratamento para milhares de pacientes que contarão com essa alternativa", alerta Thais Melo, diretora médica da Boehringer Ingelheim Brasil.

Nintedanibe é um inibidor de tirosina quinase multi-direcionado que atua bloqueando a proliferação, a migração e a transformação de células envolvidas no desenvolvimento da fibrose pulmonar e, dessa forma, tratando e diminuindo a progressão da DPI com fenótipo fibrosante progressivo1,[5]. Atualmente, também está aprovado no Brasil para o tratamento da fibrose pulmonar idiopática, para pacientes com DPI associada à esclerose sistêmica e para câncer de pulmão2,[6].

A aprovação foi baseada no estudo INBUILD, o primeiro de fase III no campo das DPIs que agrupou pacientes com base no comportamento clínico de doença, em vez do diagnóstico clínico primário. Um total de 663 pessoas de 15 países foram avaliadas. Os resultados mostraram que nintedanibe diminuiu a perda de função pulmonar em 57% em relação ao placebo1. Recentemente, a FDA, a agência regulatória dos Estados Unidos, aprovou o medicamento para a mesma finalidade[7].

Sobre OFEV
OFEV (nintedanibe) já está aprovado no Brasil para o tratamento de pacientes com fibrose pulmonar idiopática. Em dezembro de 2019, teve sua indicação ampliada no país como a primeira e única terapia para diminuir a taxa de declínio da função pulmonar em pacientes com doença pulmonar intersticial associada à esclerose sistêmica6.
