Nerandomilast, sold under the brand name Jascayd, is a medication used for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and progressive pulmonary fibrosis.[1] It is a phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor.[1][4] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Side effects include diarrhea, decreased weight, decreased appetite, and nausea.[5]

Nerandomilast was approved for medical use in the United States in October 2025.[6]

Medical uses

[edit]

Nerandomilast is indicated for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and for the treatment of progressive pulmonary fibrosis.[1][5][7]

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis affects the tissue surrounding the air sacs, or alveoli, in the lungs.[6] It develops when this lung tissue becomes thick and stiff.[6] Over time, these changes can cause permanent lung scarring (fibrosis) that makes it more difficult to breathe.[6]

Progressive pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic disease characterized by gradual, irreversible scarring of the lungs, which can lead to progressive breathing difficulties.[5] Progressive pulmonary fibrosis is an umbrella term that can describe progressive lung scarring in many interstitial lung diseases.[5]

Side effects

[edit]

Side effects include diarrhea, decreased weight, decreased appetite, and nausea.[5]

History

[edit]

The efficacy of nerandomilast for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis was evaluated in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.[6]

The efficacy of nerandomilast for the treatment of progressive pulmonary fibrosis was demonstrated in FIBRONEER-ILD (NCT05321082), a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that enrolled 1,178 adults with progressive pulmonary fibrosis.[5] Participants were randomly assigned 1:1:1 to receive twice daily administration of nerandomilast 9 mg, nerandomilast 18 mg, or placebo, for at least 52 weeks.[5]

Society and culture

[edit]
[edit]

Nerandomilast was approved for medical use in the United States in October 2025.[8][9]

The US Food and Drug Administration granted the application for nerandomilast an orphan drug designation for the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis indication[10] and breakthrough therapy designation for the progressive pulmonary fibrosis indication.[5]

Names

[edit]

Nerandomilast is the international nonproprietary name.[11]
