Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a serious lung disease with no cure, causing irreversible lung scarring due to unknown genetic and environmental factors, and current treatments aim to slow progression and manage symptoms.
- Recent research explored new treatment options, including Saracatinib, which shows potential to be more effective than existing FDA-approved drugs for IPF, Pirfenidone and Nintedanib, and Sotatercept, which may help with pulmonary hypertension associated with the disease.
- This review highlights the potential for these advancements to improve IPF patient quality of life, but emphasizes the need for further studies to confirm their safety and efficacy.
