Nintedanib, sold under the brand names Ofev and Vargatef, is a medication used to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and a type of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).[2][4] It is specifically used for adenocarcinoma NSCLC that is advanced.[2] It is taken by mouth.[2]
Common side effects include abdominal pain, vomiting, liver inflammation, headache, and diarrhea.[4] Other side effects may include blood clots, bleeding, aneurysm, and gastrointestinal perforation.[4][5] Use during pregnancy may harm the baby.[4] It is a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor which blocks vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF).[2]
Nintedanib was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2014.[4][2] In the United Kingdom it costs the NHS about £2,200 a month as of 2021.[5] This amount in the United States is about 12,000 USD per month.[6]
