Summary

This study tested whether adding rituximab to standard mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) therapy helps people with interstitial lung disease (lung scarring) who didn't respond to initial treatment. 122 adults participated, and the main goal was to see if lung function improved after 6 months. The approach aims to better control the disease, not cure it.
