Progress in the Treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension Associated with Interstitial Lung Disease

Steven D. Nathan

Summary: Pulmonary hypertension, a common complication of fibrotic interstitial lung disease, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The effectiveness of treatment for pulmonary hypertension in the context of interstitial lung disease has been uncertain, with some studies suggesting benefit and others demonstrating harm. However, recent research has shown the potential benefits of treatment, leading to the approval of the first therapy for patients with interstitial lung disease complicated by pulmonary hypertension in the United States. This review also provides a management algorithm and considerations for future clinical trials.

Efficacy of Inhaled Treprostinil on Multiple Disease Progression Events in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension due to Parenchymal Lung Disease in the INCREASE Trial

Steven D. Nathan et al.

Summary: The study showed that patients treated with inhaled treprostinil had better outcomes in terms of 6-minute walk distance and fewer clinical worsening events. There were fewer occurrences of multiple disease progression events in the inhaled treprostinil group, indicating a lower risk of further disease progression in these patients.

Summary: This research summarizes the definition, characteristics, pathophysiology, and research priorities of combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE). The research proposes CPFE to be recognized as a syndrome and offers classification criteria and descriptions of radiologic and pathological patterns.

Efficacy and safety of sildenafil added to pirfenidone in patients with advanced idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and risk of pulmonary hypertension: a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 2b trial

Juergen Behr et al.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of sildenafil added to pirfenidone versus placebo in patients with advanced IPF at risk of pulmonary hypertension. The results showed that sildenafil did not provide a treatment benefit compared to placebo up to 52 weeks, with no new safety signals identified. Further research is needed to determine if specific subgroups of IPF patients might benefit from sildenafil.

Inhaled Treprostinil in Pulmonary Hypertension Due to Interstitial Lung Disease

Aaron Waxman et al.

Summary: In patients with pulmonary hypertension due to interstitial lung disease, inhaled treprostinil significantly improved exercise capacity and clinical outcomes compared to placebo in a 16-week trial. Adverse events such as cough, headache, dyspnea, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and diarrhea were commonly reported.

Steven D. Nathan et al.

Summary: The study analyzed patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia using high-resolution computed tomography scans. It found that patients with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) had higher mortality rates, with those having more emphysema than fibrosis facing increased risk of poor outcomes.
