Fevipiprant (INN; code name QAW039) is a drug being developed by Novartis which acts as a selective, orally available antagonist of the prostaglandin D₂ receptor 2 (DP₂ or CRTh2).[1][2][3]

As of 2016, it is in phase III[4] clinical trials for the treatment of asthma.[5]

On Monday, December 16, 2019, Switzerland-based Novartis officially announced that it was jettisoning fevipiprant from its development program, given that the medicine has failed in two additional clinical trials in patients with moderate-to-severe asthma. The firm said that it had hoped fevipiprant would be a billion-dollar-selling asthma drug. [6]
