Insilico Medication, a Hong Kong-based biotechnology business, has utilized artificial intelligence (AI) to foster INS018-055, a potential medicine for the treatment of idiopathic pneumonic fibrosis (IPF).
IPF is a lung illness that causes irritation and thickening of the tissue around the alveoli, bringing about scarring. This scarring results in increased lung stiffness and difficulty in breathing. Pirfenidone and nintedanib are currently the primary medications used to slow down the progression of IPF.
Insilico Medicine's drug, INS018-055, is currently undergoing a Phase II clinical trial, which is actively recruiting participants. The trial is designed as a double-blind, randomized study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of orally administered INS018-055 in individuals with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
The study includes four parallel cohorts of IPF patients. To broaden the evaluation of the drug, the company plans to enroll 60 subjects with IPF across approximately 40 sites in the United States and China.

Insilico Medicine has a total of six trials listed on GlobalData's Clinical Trials Database.Two trials have been completed, two are currently ongoing and recruiting members, one is being planned, and one has been terminated.
This inventive use of artificial intelligence in drug development shows promise for expanding the therapy options available to persons suffering with idiopathic pneumonic fibrosis, potentially improving their personal fulfilment.
