HW252001 tablets, an oral small-molecule investigational drug, are intended for IPF therapy. To date, the cumulative R&D investment for this project amounts to approximately RMB 20 million.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an interstitial lung disease of unknown cause, characterized by histopathological/imaging features, progressive decline in lung function, acute exacerbations, respiratory failure, and poor prognosis. Current IPF treatments primarily involve anti-fibrotic drugs to slow lung function deterioration and disease progression, with no curative therapies available.
