Summary

This early study tests whether emapalumab, a drug used for a severe immune overreaction, can help people with a rare, rapidly worsening lung disease linked to anti-MDA5 antibodies. The trial will enroll 5 adults whose lung function is declining despite standard care. The main goal is to see if the drug reduces oxygen needs and improves breathing tests.
