Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia– Pipeline Review, 2019

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a type of chronic lung disease that affects premature infants who have respiratory distress syndrome and have low birth weight (LBW) shortly after birth. In 2018, according to the report published by National Jewish Health, it was estimated that 40% of new-born babies developed bronchopulmonary dysplasia every year. Wheezing, bluish discoloration of the skin around nails and lips due to lack of oxygen in the blood, reoccurring lung infections and rapid breathing are some of the symptoms shown by infants having bronchopulmonary dysplasia

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia can be diagnosed using chest X-rays or through the usage of pulse oximetry in infants who need continuous oxygen supply due to severe respiratory issues. Other diagnostic measures also include continuous heart monitoring to check any complications of pulmonary hypertension associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Medications such as diuretic medicines which includes furosemide, chlorothiazide, and spironolactone that help in the removal of excess fluid from the infant’s body; anti-inflammatory drugs like montelukast and inhaled corticosteroids such as budesonide and fluticasone, additionally, the usage of ventilators support is some of the options available for the treatment of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature infants.

Pharmaceutical companies, along with government-funded organizations, have been focusing on studying and developing new treatment options for bronchopulmonary dysplasia. For instance; PNEUMOSTEM, which is being studied by MEDIPOST Co., Ltd., is currently in phase-2 clinical trials for the study of the efficacy and safety of PNEUMOSTEM for the prevention and treatment of severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (severe BPD) in premature infants

At present, around 70% of the pipeline candidates for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia are in the phase-1 and phase- stage. Government-funded organizations sponsor more than half of the studies.
