New hope for stubborn lung disease when first treatments fail

NCT ID NCT02990286

Summary

This study tested whether adding the drug rituximab to standard mycophenolate treatment helps adults with progressive interstitial lung disease (ILD) who didn't improve on their first immunosuppressive therapy. The goal was to see if this combination could better preserve lung function and slow disease progression over six months compared to using mycophenolate alone. Researchers measured breathing capacity, quality of life, and safety in 122 participants.
