Utility of a Molecular Classifier as a Complement to High-Resolution Computed Tomography to Identify Usual Interstitial Pneumonia

Luca Richeldi et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the combined accuracy of the Envisia Genomic Classifier and local radiology in detecting UIP pattern, showing high specificity and sensitivity of the Envisia Classifier in identifying UIP regardless of HRCT pattern. The results suggest that the Envisia Genomic Classifier, when combined with HRCT and clinical factors, may assist clinicians in making an IPF diagnosis without the need for surgical lung biopsy.

Cryobiopsy for Identification of Usual Interstitial Pneumonia and Other Interstitial Lung Disease Features

Wendy A. Cooper et al.

Summary: TBLC may not require subpleural or paraseptal fibrosis for diagnosing UIP, as long as other guideline criteria features are present. The diagnostic accuracy of TBLC can be improved by increasing the number of samples taken.

Pirfenidone in patients with progressive fibrotic interstitial lung diseases other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (RELIEF): a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 2b trial

Juergen Behr et al.

Summary: This multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pirfenidone in patients with progressive fibrotic interstitial lung diseases. Results after 48 weeks showed a significantly lower decline in FVC % predicted in the pirfenidone group compared to placebo, suggesting that adding pirfenidone to existing treatment might attenuate disease progression in these patients.

Surgical Lung Biopsy for Interstitial Lung Disease Safety and Feasibility at a Tertiary Referral Center

Jean Pastre et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the safety and tolerability of VATS among ILD patients referred to a tertiary care center. The results demonstrate that VATS lung biopsy as a same-day procedure in the modern era is safe, tolerable, and feasible, especially when patients are first vetted by a team with expertise in the field of ILD. These findings support a lower threshold to pursue a VATS biopsy when histology is required for an ILD diagnosis.
