Reference_Aid_programme: SA.41471(2015/X) Purpose_public_aid: Article: 25 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 651/2014 of 17 June 2014 declaring certain categories of aid compatible with the internal market in the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty Urz. EU L 187/1 of 26.06.2014). Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, fatal and severe disease. It causes scarring of the lungs, disrupting breathing processes and consequently leads to death, and the average survival of the patient is 2-5 years after diagnosis. Currently, there are 2 medicines on the market that slow down pulmonary functionalities, but their use poses a significant risk of toxicity. As a result, approx. a year. 30 % of patients discontinue treatment without therapeutic options. The compound CPL409116, a small molecular inhibitor of kinases JAK and ROCK, is an innovative candidate for the treatment of IPF. In the course of this disease, progressive fibrosis changes in the pulmonary tissue are accompanied by developing inflammation. CPL409116, a dual inhibitor of JAK and ROCK kinases, can simultaneously block the development of inflammatory and fibrous processes. This molecule is currently being developed in the project POIR.01.01.01-00-0382/16, which developed the synthesis path and carried out preclinical studies confirming the effectiveness of the compound in blocking inflammatory processes. In addition, in toxicological studies CPL409116 was characterised by a favourable safety profile. In vivo pilot studies, in the bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis model, confirmed the effectiveness of the candidate. As part of the project submitted for assessment, further studies of the therapeutic efficacy of the compound CPL409116 as a drug on the IPF were planned. The ultimate objective of this project is to evaluate the candidate for the drug, as part of the Phase II clinical trial, in the indication of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The project is divided into four stages: three industrial and one development. As part of the Applicant’s project
