Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis stands as one of medicine’s most challenging respiratory conditions, gradually transforming healthy lung tissue into stiff, scarred material that severely compromises ...

In a phase 3 study, nerandomilast administered at 18 mg or 9 mg twice daily slowed the progression of pulmonary fibrosis in adults with progressive pulmonary fibrosis. In a previous study, ...

Pulmonary fibrosis is a deadly disease in which the lungs become thickened and scarred, gradually losing their ability to deliver oxygen to the body. Now, scientists at UC San Francisco have ...

A new drug for pulmonary fibrosis has reduced disease progression by more than 50% over a 52-week treatment in two clinical trials. Pulmonary fibrosis is a very serious disease, with a life prognosis ...

A new drug for pulmonary fibrosis has reduced disease progression by more than 50% over a 52-week treatment in two clinical trials; pulmonary fibrosis is a very serious disease, with a life prognosis ...

A discovery offers new hope in the battle against pulmonary fibrosis, a debilitating lung condition that progressively makes it harder for patients to breathe. Scientists have pinpointed proteins in ...

Delayed IPF diagnosis often results in significant lung function impairment, impacting patient outcomes and increasing hospitalization rates. Antifibrotic therapies, nintedanib and pirfenidone, are ...

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a potentially fatal disease currently without treatment, in which lung tissue develops scarring and becomes stiff, making breathing increasingly difficult over time.

PPF is identified by decline in lung function, worsening symptoms, and increased fibrosis on imaging, with variable criteria across studies. Risk factors for PPF include older age, male sex, smoking, ...
