All the market analysis are based on the current situation, which is that people diagnosed with IPF have an expected survival rate of 2-5 years. What happens to the market if 1690 does stop the disease, or for the sake of the arguments halves the decline compared with current standard of care ? Both scenarios are feasible given the data presented. Patients will live longer and therefore the potential market will grow. Furthermore, if 1690 makes up to its promise in the phase 3, current standard of care medicine will be obsolete. Remember, people die of IPF within 5 years, anything working way better or even stopping the disease development will have the market.
I have not seen this scenario in any of the analyst report out today.
