PureTech Health (LSE:PRTC) has unveiled new data from its Phase 2b ELEVATE IPF trial showing that its investigational therapy, deupirfenidone, demonstrated consistent safety and efficacy in treating older patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This patient group has historically been underserved due to tolerability challenges with existing therapies.
The findings, presented at CHEST 2025 Annual Meeting, indicate that deupirfenidone could help close a significant treatment gap for older individuals living with IPF, potentially establishing a new standard of care and improving patient outcomes.
Financially, PureTech’s position remains mixed. While the company maintains strong liquidity, profitability pressures continue to weigh on its overall performance. Technical signals point to potential resistance levels, though current valuations appear attractive. During its recent earnings call, management struck a cautiously optimistic tone, acknowledging both opportunities and uncertainties tied to leadership transitions and funding dynamics.
