Summary: Pulmonary complications in CTD commonly involve various parts of the lungs and ILD can vary in severity, making accurate diagnosis and careful treatment decisions important. Management of CTD-ILD can be challenging due to limited data and the need for individualized approaches.

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.
