Background: In real-world studies, the rate of discontinuation of nintedanib (NT) varies from 4% to 53%. Switching anti-fibrotic treatment in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has not been adequately investigated, and data on the tolerability and efficacy of changes in anti-fibrotic treatment is limited in clinical practice.
Objective: To identify factors associated with poor continuation of NT, efficacy and predictors of deterioration after switching from NT to pirfenidone (PFD) in patients with IPF.

Introduction: Most patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) treated with antifibrotics (AF) have progressive disease despite treatment. A switch of AF may improve survival, but evidence from randomised controlled trials is missing. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of an AF switch on survival and FVC decline in patients from the European MultiPartner IPF registry (EMPIRE).

Objective: Our aim was to investigate the effectiveness and tolerability of antifibrotics in a real-world cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung diseases (RA-ILD).
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we identified RA-ILD patients initiating antifibrotics at Mass General Brigham Integrated Health Care System, a large multi-hospital healthcare system in Boston, MA, USA. We used electronic query to identify all patients with at least 2 RA diagnosis codes and a prescription for either nintedanib or pirfenidone (2014-2023).
