Nintedanib combined with immunosuppressive agents improves forced vital capacity in connective tissue disease-associated PF-ILD: a single-center study. BMC Rheumatol 2024; 8:27. [PMID: 38886779 PMCID: PMC11184786 DOI: 10.1186/s41927-024-00400-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2020, Nintedanib (NTB), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was the first drug approved worldwide for treating progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (PF-ILD). This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of NTB in Japanese patients with CTD-associated PF-ILD in a real-world setting, as there are few reports on this topic. We also evaluated the efficacy and safety of combination therapy with NTB and immunosuppressive agents (IS). METHODS CTD-associated PF-ILD patients receiving NTB at our institution were included in this retrospective study. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of NTB, we investigated changes in forced vital capacity (FVC) (%), diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) (%), monthly change in FVC (%/month), serum Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) levels (U/mL) before and after NTB treatment, and adverse events (AEs) during NTB treatment. Moreover, to evaluate the efficacy of the NTB + IS combination therapy, we divided the patients into two groups: one received only NTB (NTB group), and the other received both NTB and IS (NTB + IS group) following the diagnosis of CTD-associated PF-ILD. We analyzed the differences in the changes of these variables between the two groups. RESULTS Twenty-six patients with CTD-associated PF-ILD were included. After NTB treatment, there were no significant deteriorations in FVC (%) and DLCO (%), while the monthly change in FVC (%/month) significantly increased (p < 0.001). The changes in FVC (%) and the monthly change in FVC (%/month) were significantly greater in the NTB + IS group than in the NTB group. Following NTB treatment, the mean serum KL-6 levels significantly decreased (p < 0.001). AEs associated with NTB in this study were similar to those in previous clinical trials, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of AEs between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that NTB is an effective medication for slowing the progression of CTD-associated PF-ILD in real-world settings. NTB + IS combination therapy for CTD-associated PF-ILD may be more effective than NTB alone in slowing the progression of CTD-associated PF-ILD.

Abstract
Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are a diverse collection of lung disorders sharing similar features, such as inflammation and fibrosis. The diagnosis and management of ILD require a multidisciplinary approach using clinical, radiological, and pathological evaluation. Progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) is a distinct form of progressive and fibrotic disease, occurring in ILD cases other than in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It is defined based on clinical symptoms, lung function, and chest imaging, regardless of the underlying condition. The progression to PPF must be monitored through a combination of pulmonary function tests (forced vital capacity [FVC] and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide), an assessment of symptoms, and computed tomography scans, with regular follow-up. Although the precise mechanisms of PPF remain unclear, there is evidence of shared pathogenetic mechanisms with IPF, contributing to similar disease behavior and worse prognosis compared to non-PPF ILD. Pharmacological treatment of PPF includes immunomodulatory agents to reduce inflammation and the use of antifibrotics to target progressive fibrosis. Nintedanib, a known antifibrotic agent, was found to be effective in slowing IPF progression and reducing the annual rate of decline in FVC among patients with PPF compared to placebos. Nonpharmacological treatment, including pulmonary rehabilitation, supplemental oxygen therapy, and vaccination, also play important roles in the management of PPF, leading to comprehensive care for patients with ILD. Although there is currently no cure for PPF, there are treatments that can help slow the progression of the disease and improve quality of life.

Abstract
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is a pulmonary disease characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of the lung parenchyma following chronic exposure to immunogenic antigens. The pathophysiology of HP involves type 3 and type 4 hypersensitivity reactions leading to acute and chronic manifestations, respectively. Clinically, it manifests as exertional dyspnea and wheezing. Pulmonary function tests display a pattern of restrictive lung disease, and high-resolution CT scans display a pattern of ground glass opacities, centrilobular nodules, and mosaic attenuation. Antigen avoidance remains the only method for primary prevention. Alternative therapy may be needed due to either the inability to avoid antigens or the lack of antigen identification. Prednisone 0.5 mg/kg per day is the first-line treatment for acute non-fibrotic forms of HP. In chronic or fibrotic HP, the immunomodulator mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) was shown to be an effective treatment in improving the diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide and forced vital capacity, but not overall survival. The following study aims to bring to attention the need for additional prospective multicenter clinical trials to clarify the role of MMF as an immunomodulator in fibrosing HP.

Abstract
Lung tissue has a certain regenerative ability and triggers repair procedures after injury. Under controllable conditions, lung tissue can restore normal structure and function. Disruptions in this process can lead to respiratory system failure and even death, causing substantial medical burden. The main types of respiratory diseases are chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Multiple cells, such as lung epithelial cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and immune cells, are involved in regulating the repair process after lung injury. Although the mechanism that regulates the process of lung repair has not been fully elucidated, clinical trials targeting different cells and signaling pathways have achieved some therapeutic effects in different respiratory diseases. In this review, we provide an overview of the cell type involved in the process of lung regeneration and repair, research models, and summarize molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of lung regeneration and fibrosis. Moreover, we discuss the current clinical trials of stem cell therapy and pharmacological strategies for COPD, IPF, and ARDS treatment. This review provides a reference for further research on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of lung regeneration, drug development, and clinical trials.

Abstract
Skin fibrosis, the most obvious clinical manifestation of systemic sclerosis (SSc), has a high unmet need for treatment. Xanthohumol (Xn) has been shown to have beneficial effects on fibrotic diseases, but its efficacy in SSc remains unreported. This study aims to elucidate the effects and mechanisms of Xn on collagen synthesis in SSc skin fibroblasts (SScF). We found increased collagen production in SScF cultured in vitro, accompanied by dysregulated levels of oxidative stress. Cell experiments showed that Xn inhibited cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis. In addition, Xn was shown for the first time to upregulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)levels in SScF, and when combined with the ROS scavenger N-acetylcysteine (NAC), Nrf2 expression was decreased. Importantly, we demonstrated that Xn significantly attenuated collagen synthesis by blocking the fibrotic classical transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1)/Smad3 pathway, which interestingly was upregulated when combined with the Nrf2 inhibitor 385. Taken together, Xn suppressed the TGFβ1/Smad3 pathway to ameliorate collagen overproduction by promoting ROS-induced oxidative stress damage and activating Nrf2, suggesting that Xn administration may be an emerging therapeutic strategy for skin fibrosis in SSc.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Persistent interstitial lung disease (ILD) after COVID-19 infection can lead to severe loss of respiratory function and a decrease in the quality of life. There is no consensus regarding the treatment of post-COVID-19-ILD. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of immunosuppressive treatment for this group of patients. METHODS This retrospective observational study included patients diagnosed with post-COVID-19-ILD from 2021 to 2022. Patients who had pulmonary symptoms, required prolonged oxygen therapy, and/or had restrictive pulmonary function test (PFT) and/or DLCO <80%, with diffuse parenchymal involvement on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), were given immunosuppressive treatment with methylprednisolone and/or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and followed up for 6 months. RESULTS Among the 48 patients, 35 were treated. Two patients were excluded due to discontinued treatment and passed away before the study period ended. Of 33 cases, 21 (66.6%) were treated with methylprednisolone, 11 (33%) with methylprednisolone + MMF, and 1 (0.4%) with MMF alone. Comparing baseline and 6th-month data revealed significant improvement in mMRC score, saturation (SpO2), FVC, FVC%, FEV%, and DLCO% values (p<0.005). While regression was observed in all radiologic findings, regression in ground glass and reticulation was statistically significant (p<0.005). When the 1st and 6th-month data were compared, a significant increase was observed in SpO2 and DLCO% values (p=0.016) and there was a significant regression in reticulation radiologically (p=0.01). CONCLUSIONS Long-term immunosuppressive therapy may be preferred in proper cases of post-COVID-19-ILD as an effective and safe treatment option that improves the quality of life, respiratory parameters, and radiologic findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the efficacy, safety, and clinical utility of pharmacologic agents in the treatment of systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). DATA SOURCES A review of the literature was performed using the terms lung diseases, (interstitial/therapy) AND (scleroderma, systemic/therapy) OR (scleroderma, systemic) AND (lung diseases, interstitial/therapy) in PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Web of Science. ClinicalTrials.gov was also searched to identify ongoing studies. The initial search was performed in October 2022, with follow-up searches performed in October 2023. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA ABSTRACTION Articles reviewed were limited to those written in the English language, human studies, and adult populations. DATA SYNTHESIS A variety of therapeutic agents, including mycophenolate, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide (CYC), rituximab (RTX), nintedanib, and tocilizumab (TCZ) have slowed the rate of decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) and disease progression. Only nintedanib and TCZ have a labeled indication for SSc-ILD. Two agents, belimumab and pirfenidone, have shown encouraging results in smaller phase II and phase III studies, but have yet to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration. RELEVANCE TO PATIENT CARE AND CLINICAL PRACTICE Patients with pulmonary manifestations of SSc-ILD have worse outcomes and lower survival rates compared with those without. It is imperative that disease management be individualized to achieve optimal patient-centered care. Pharmacists are uniquely suited to support this individualized management. CONCLUSION Numerous pharmacologic agents have been studied and repurposed in the treatment of SSc-ILD, with nintedanib and TCZ gaining approval to slow the rate of decline in pulmonary function in SSc-ILD. Other agents, including belimumab and pirfenidone, are on the horizon as potential treatment options; but further studies are needed to compare their efficacy and safety with the current standard of care.

Abstract
Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP) is characterized by progression of lung parenchyma that may be observed in various autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), including rheumatoid arthritis and connective tissue diseases. From a diagnostic point of view, a UIP pattern related to ARDs may display imaging and pathological features able to distinguish it from that related to IPF, such as the "straight-edge" sign at HRCT and lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates at histologic specimens. Multidisciplinary approach (MDD), involving at least pulmonologist, rheumatologist and radiologist, is fundamental in the differential diagnosis process, but MDD is also required in the evaluation of severity, progression and response to treatment, that is based on the combination of changes in symptoms, pulmonary function trends, and, in selected patients, serial CT evaluation. Differently from IPF, in patients with ARDs both functional evaluation and patient-reported outcomes may be affected by systemic involvement and comorbidities, including musculoskeletal manifestations of disease. Finally, in regards to pharmacological treatment, immunosuppressants have been considered the cornerstone of therapy, despite the lack of solid evidence in most cases; recently, antifibrotic drugs were also proposed for the treatment of progressive fibrosing ILDs other than IPF. In ARD-ILD, the therapeutic choice should balance the need for the control of systemic and lung involvements with the risk of adverse events from multi-morbidities and -therapies. Purpose of this review is to summarize the definition, the radiological and morphological features of the UIP pattern in ARDs, together with risk factors, diagnostic criteria, prognostic evaluation, monitoring and management approaches of the UIP-ARDs.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other forms of interstitial lung disease, involves a complex interplay of various factors including host genetics, environmental pollutants, infection, aberrant repair and dysregulated immune responses. Highly variable clinical outcomes of some ILDs, in particular IPF, have made it difficult to identify the precise mechanisms involved in disease pathogenesis and thus the development of a specific cure or treatment to halt and reverse the decline in patient health. With the advent of in-depth molecular diagnostics, it is becoming evident that the pathogenesis of IPF is unlikely to be the same for all patients and therefore will likely require different treatment approaches. Chronic inflammation is a cardinal feature of IPF and is driven by both innate and adaptive immune responses. Inflammatory cells and activated fibroblasts secrete various pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines that perpetuate the inflammatory response and contribute to the recruitment and activation of more immune cells and fibroblasts. The balance between pro-inflammatory and regulatory immune cell subsets, as well as the interactions between immune cell types and resident cells within the lung microenvironment, ultimately determines the extent of fibrosis and the potential for resolution. This review examines the role of the innate and adaptive immune responses in pulmonary fibrosis, with an emphasis on IPF. The role of different immune cell types is discussed as well as novel anti-inflammatory and immunotherapy approaches currently in clinical trial or in preclinical development.

[PMID: 37295951 PMCID: PMC10595020 DOI: 10.1124/pharmrev.123.000834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Chronic lung rejection, also called chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), remains the major hurdle limiting long-term survival after lung transplantation, and limited therapeutic options are available to slow the progressive decline in lung function. Most interventions are only temporarily effective in stabilizing the loss of or modestly improving lung function, with disease progression resuming over time in the majority of patients. Therefore, identification of effective treatments that prevent the onset or halt progression of CLAD is urgently needed. As a key effector cell in its pathophysiology, lymphocytes have been considered a therapeutic target in CLAD. The aim of this review is to evaluate the use and efficacy of lymphocyte depleting and immunomodulating therapies in progressive CLAD beyond usual maintenance immunosuppressive strategies. Modalities used include anti-thymocyte globulin, alemtuzumab, methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, total lymphoid irradiation, and extracorporeal photopheresis, and to explore possible future strategies. When considering both efficacy and risk of side effects, extracorporeal photopheresis, anti-thymocyte globulin and total lymphoid irradiation appear to offer the best treatment options currently available for progressive CLAD patients. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Effective treatments to prevent the onset and progression of chronic lung rejection after lung transplantation are still a major shortcoming. Based on existing data to date, considering both efficacy and risk of side effects, extracorporeal photopheresis, anti-thymocyte globulin, and total lymphoid irradiation are currently the most viable second-line treatment options. However, it is important to note that interpretation of most results is hampered by the lack of randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) has been reported with many cancer drugs including some recent antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). The mechanisms of ILD induced by many chemotherapy drugs, other drug classes and ADCs used in cancer, including breast cancer, are not clearly elucidated. In the absence of specific clinical or radiological signs, the diagnosis of drug-induced ILD is often a diagnosis of exclusion. When present, the most frequent symptoms are respiratory signs (cough, dyspnea, chest pain) and general signs (fatigue, fever). Any suspicion of ILD should be evaluated by imaging and, if in doubt, the CT scan should be evaluated by a pulmonologist and a radiologist. A network of multidisciplinary experts for proactive early management of ILD is important, including oncologist, radiologist, pulmonologist, infectious disease specialist and nurses. Patient education is essential to report new or exacerbated lung symptoms and prevent high-grade ILD. Study drug is discontinued temporarily or permanently according to ILD severity and type of ADC. For asymptomatic cases (Grade 1), the efficacy of corticosteroids is not clearly established; for higher grades, the benefit/risk balance of long-term corticosteroid therapy should be considered for the dose and treatment duration. Hospitalization and oxygen supplementation are required for severe cases (Grades 3-4). For patient follow-up, the expertise of a pulmonologist is necessary with repeated chest scans, spirometry and DLCO. Preventing ADC-induced ILDs and evolution to high grade rests on a network of multidisciplinary experts for assessment of individual risk factors, early management, close follow-up and patient education.

Abstract
Numerous inflammatory, neoplastic, and genetic skin disorders are associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD), the fibrosing inflammation of lung parenchyma that has significant morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the dermatologist plays a major role in the early detection and appropriate referral of patients at risk for ILD. Part 1 of this 2-part CME outlines the pathophysiology of ILD and focuses on clinical screening and therapeutic principles applicable to dermatological patients who are at risk for ILD. Patients with clinical symptoms of ILD should be screened with pulmonary function tests and high-resolution chest computed tomography. Screening for pulmonary hypertension should be considered in high-risk patients. Early identification and elimination of pulmonary risk factors, including smoking and gastroesophageal reflux disease, are essential in improving respiratory outcomes. First-line treatment interventions for ILD in a dermatological setting include mycophenolate mofetil, but the choice of therapeutic agents depends on the nature of the primary disease, the severity of ILD, and comorbidities and should be the result of a multidisciplinary assessment. Better awareness of ILD among medical dermatologists and close interdisciplinary collaborations are likely to prevent treatment delays improving long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Background Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a rare heterogeneous group of diseases characterised by chronic skeletal muscle inflammation, but other organs are also frequently involved. IMM represent a diagnostic challenge and a multidisciplinary approach is important to ensure successful diagnosis and adequate follow-up of these patients. Objective To describe the general functioning of our multidisciplinary myositis clinic, highlighting the benefits of multidisciplinary team management in patients with confirmed or suspected IIM and to characterise our clinical experience. Methods Description of the organization of a dedicated multidisciplinary myositis outpatient clinic, supported by IMM specific electronic assessment tools and protocols based on our Portuguese Register - Reuma.pt. In addition, an overview of our activity between 2017 and 2022 is provided. Results An IIM multidisciplinary care clinic, based on a close collaboration between Rheumatologists, Dermatologists and Physiatrist is detailed in this paper. One hundred and eighty-five patients were assessed in our myositis clinic; 138 (75%) of those were female, with a median age of 58 [45-70] years. At the last appointment, 130 patients had a confirmed IIM diagnosis, and the mean disease duration was 4 [2-6] years. The most frequent diagnosis was dermatomyositis (n = 34, 26.2%), followed by antisynthetase syndrome (n = 27, 20.8%) and clinically amyopathic/paucimyopathic dermatomyositis (n = 18, 13.8%). Twenty-four patients (18.5%) were on monotherapy and 94 (72.3%) were on combination therapy. Conclusion A multidisciplinary approach is important to ensure the correct diagnosis and follow-up of these patients. A myositis clinic, with a standardised practice at a tertiary hospital level, contributes to a standardization of care and opens research opportunities.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an immune-mediated rheumatic disease (IMRDs) characterized by chronic erosive arthritis and systemic damage to internal organs, leading to early disability and reduced life expectancy in patients. A particularly important place among the systemic manifestations of RA is occupied by interstitial lung diseases (ILD) – the most severe form of pulmonary pathology in RA, defined as RA-ILD, which is pathogenetically associated with risk factors (smoking, etc.) and autoimmune mechanisms underlying RA. RA-ILD is a subtype of RA characterized by a severe course and a poor prognosis и неблагоприятным прогнозом. The review presents new data regarding risk factors and biomarkers for RA-ILD; modern diagnostic capabilities based on the use of functional lung tests, high-resolution computed tomography, ultrasound examination of the lungs. Particular attention is paid to the efficacy and safety of pharmacotherapy, including methotrexate, biologics, JAK inhibitors, and antifibrotic therapy. An algorithm for the pharmacotherapy of RA-ILD has been proposed.
