Nintedanib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor used primarily for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD), and as an adjunct therapy for some cancers such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is approved for use in numerous countries, including by the US FDA and EMA.
Pharmacokinetic parameters were reported in adult patients (both sexes) with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis after single and multiple oral doses.
