    Abstract Case presentation: A previously healthy 53-year-old woman with 4 months of dyspnea and subjective wheezing presented to pulmonary clinic for a second opinion. Her medical history included hypertension, obesity, and OSA. She had been hospitalized 3 months prior at an outside hospital for evaluation of these symptoms. She had never smoked. She was a retired teacher and previously served as a pet nanny to dogs and cats. She denied antecedent respiratory infection or environmental exposure before the onset of her symptoms. Current medications included budesonide-formoterol, tiotropium, loratadine, and montelukast. She did not experience significant change in symptoms with bronchodilators or corticosteroid treatment.

    Abstract Importance: Current treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis slow the rate of lung function decline, but may be associated with adverse events that affect medication adherence. In phase 2 trials, pamrevlumab (a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to and inhibits connective tissue growth factor activity) attenuated the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis without substantial adverse events.
    Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of pamrevlumab for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
    Design, setting, and participants: Phase 3 randomized clinical trial including 356 patients aged 40 to 85 years with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who were not receiving antifibrotic treatment with nintedanib or pirfenidone at enrollment. Patients were recruited from 117 sites in 9 countries between July 18, 2019, and July 29, 2022; the last follow-up encounter occurred on August 28, 2023.
    Interventions: Pamrevlumab (30 mg/kg administered intravenously every 3 weeks; n = 181) or placebo (n = 175) for 48 weeks.
    Main outcomes and measures: The primary outcome was absolute change in forced vital capacity (FVC) from baseline to week 48. There were 5 secondary outcomes (including time to disease progression, which was defined as a decline of ≥10% in predicted FVC or death). The exploratory outcomes included patient-reported symptoms. Adverse events were reported.
    Results: Among 356 patients (mean age, 70.5 years; 258 [72.5%] were men; 221 [62.1%] were White), 277 (77.8%) completed the trial. There was no significant between-group difference for absolute change in FVC from baseline to week 48 (least-squares mean, -260 mL [95% CI, -350 to -170 mL] in the pamrevlumab group vs -330 mL [95% CI, -430 to -230 mL] in the placebo group; mean between-group difference, 70 mL [95% CI, -60 to 190 mL], P = .29). There were no significant between-group differences in any of the secondary outcomes or in the patient-reported outcomes. In the pamrevlumab group, there were 160 patients (88.4%) with treatment-related adverse events and 51 patients (28.2%) with serious adverse events vs 151 (86.3%) and 60 (34.3%), respectively, in the placebo group. During the study, 23 patients died in each group (12.7% in the pamrevlumab group vs 13.1% in the placebo group).
    Conclusions and relevance: Among patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treated with pamrevlumab or placebo, there was no statistically significant between-group difference for the primary outcome of absolute change in FVC from baseline to week 48.

    Abstract Background: The INBUILD trial investigated nintedanib
    Methods: Subjects had a fibrosing ILD other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and met the following criteria for ILD progression within the 24 months before screening despite management deemed appropriate in clinical practice: Group A, relative decline in FVC ≥10% predicted; Group B, relative decline in FVC ≥5-<10% predicted with worsened respiratory symptoms and/or increased extent of fibrosis on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT); Group C, worsened respiratory symptoms and increased extent of fibrosis on HRCT only.
    Results: In the placebo group, the rates of FVC decline over 52 weeks in Groups A, B and C, respectively, were -241.9, -133.1 and -115.3 mL per year in the overall population (p=0.0002 for subgroup-by-time interaction) and -288.9, -156.2 and -100.1 mL per year among subjects with a usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP)-like fibrotic pattern on HRCT (p=0.0005 for subgroup-by-time interaction). Nintedanib had a greater absolute effect on reducing the rate of FVC decline in Group A than in Group B or C. However, the relative effect of nintedanib
    Conclusions: The inclusion criteria used in the INBUILD trial, based on FVC decline or worsening of symptoms and extent of fibrosis on HRCT, were effective at identifying patients with progressive fibrosing ILDs. Nintedanib reduced the rate of decline in FVC across the subgroups based on the inclusion criteria related to ILD progression.

    Abstract Non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) is an interstitial lung disease that may be idiopathic or secondary to connective tissue disease, toxins or numerous other causes. Idiopathic NSIP is a rare diagnosis and requires exclusion of these other possible causes. Patients typically present in mid-adulthood with dyspnoea, cough and often constitutional symptoms including fever and fatigue. The disease has a female predominance, and more than 50% of patients have never smoked. Physical exam features mild hypoxaemia and inspiratory rales. Pulmonary function tests demonstrate restriction and a low diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide. High-resolution computed tomography abnormalities include predominantly lower lobe subpleural reticular changes, traction bronchiectasis and ground-glass opacities; honeycombing is rarely seen. An evaluation of the underlying pathology is necessary for a firm diagnosis. Histologically, alveolar and interstitial mononuclear cell inflammation and fibrosis are seen in a temporally uniform pattern with preserved underlying alveolar architecture. NSIP must be differentiated from other parenchymal lung diseases including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. A thorough exposure history and assessment for underlying connective tissue diseases are highly important, as positive findings in these categories would likely denote a case of secondary NSIP. A multi-disciplinary discussion that includes pulmonologist(s), radiologist(s) and pathologist(s) assists in reaching a consensus diagnosis and improves diagnostic accuracy. Treatment of idiopathic NSIP, although not well proven, is generally instituted in the form of immunosuppression. Prognosis is favourable compared with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, although the diagnosis still carries an attributable mortality. Herein we will summarize the clinical characteristics and management of idiopathic NSIP.

    Abstract Background: Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), the primary cause of poor outcome after lung transplantation, arises from fibrotic remodeling of the allograft and presents as diverse clinical phenotypes with variable courses. Here, we investigate whether bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) mesenchymal cell activity at CLAD onset can inform regarding disease phenotype, progression, and survival.
    Methods: Mesenchymal cell colony-forming units (CFUs) were measured in BAL obtained at CLAD onset (n = 77) and CLAD-free time post-transplant matched controls (n = 77). CFU counts were compared using Wilcoxon's rank-sum test. Cox proportional hazards and restricted means models were utilized to investigate post-CLAD survival.
    Results: Higher mesenchymal CFU counts were noted in BAL at the time of CLAD onset than in CLAD-free controls. Patients with restrictive allograft syndrome had higher BAL mesenchymal CFU count at CLAD onset than patients with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (p = 0.011). Patients with high mesenchymal CFU counts (≥10) at CLAD onset had worse outcomes than those with low (<10) CFU counts, with shorter average survival (2.64 years vs 4.25 years; p = 0.027) and shorter progression-free survival, defined as time to developing either CLAD Stage 3 or death (0.97 years vs 2.70 years; p < 0.001). High CFU count remained predictive of decreased overall survival and progression-free survival after accounting for the CLAD phenotype and other clinical factors in multivariable analysis.
    Conclusions: Fulminant fibroproliferation with higher mesenchymal CFU counts in BAL is noted in restrictive allograft syndrome and is independently associated with poor survival after CLAD onset.
