LUNG DISEASES, INTERSTITIAL

This study looked at the long-term safety of a medicine called nintedanib in children and teenagers with a rare lung condition that causes scarring (fibrosing interstitial lung disease). All 54 participants took nintedanib capsules twice a day for at least 1.5 to 3 years. The goa…

This study monitored 425 Japanese patients with chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases that are getting worse over time (PF-ILD) who were prescribed Ofev capsules. Researchers tracked side effects, especially liver problems, to see how safe the drug is in everyday use. The …

This study tested a new medicine called BI 1015550 in 1178 adults with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (PF-ILDs), a condition where lung tissue scars and worsens over time. Participants took either a low or high dose of the drug or a placebo twice daily for at le…

This study looked at whether people with chronic lung disease who experience drops in oxygen during exercise can walk just as far without extra oxygen as with it. Forty patients completed a 6-minute walk test twice: once breathing normal air and once with low-flow oxygen. The goa…

This study tested a skin sensor that measures carbon dioxide (CO2) levels continuously during exercise, comparing it to standard blood tests. Researchers included 140 healthy volunteers and people with lung or heart conditions. The goal was to see if the sensor could accurately t…

This study looked at whether certain genes make people who are regularly around pigeons more likely to develop a type of lung disease called hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Researchers analyzed the DNA of 475 pigeon fanciers to find genetic markers linked to lung scarring. The goal…

This study involved 1304 adults with rheumatoid arthritis who had at least two risk factors for interstitial lung disease (ILD), such as being male, a smoker, or over 60. Researchers used CT scans to develop a prediction model that helps doctors decide who should be screened for …

This study followed 158 adults with chronic fibrosing interstitial lung disease (a type of progressive lung scarring) who were starting treatment with nintedanib. Researchers wanted to see if changes in lung function (measured by forced vital capacity) over 52 weeks were linked t…
