PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) refers to a diverse group of chronic conditions characterized by progressive fibrosis in the lung interstitium, leading to declining lung function, worsening respiratory symptoms, diminished health-related quality of life, and early mortality. Despite progress in our understanding of its pathogenesis and the ongoing development of novel therapies, there remains no cure. Thus, timely intervention and personalized management by collaborative, multidisciplinary care teams remain crucial for optimizing clinical decision-making and achieving better patient outcomes.

We invite you to join this program, in which our esteemed faculty will discuss key strategies for early and accurate diagnosis, review current clinical trial evidence regarding new and emerging therapies, and provide expert guidance on tailoring treatment.

Learning Objectives
TARGET AUDIENCE

This educational activity has been designed to meet the needs of community pulmonologists, rheumatologists, radiologists, primary care physicians, clinicians within the Care Center Network including specialist pulmonologists and other physicians, as well as physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers who may be involved in managing care for patients with fibrosing ILDs.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

  • Discuss the inflammatory and fibrotic mechanisms that underlie the pathogenesis and progression of fibrosing ILD
  • Utilize appropriate assessments, including comprehensive medical history, clinical examination, lung function evaluation, serologies, and high-resolution computed tomography, to effectively monitor progression of fibrosing ILD
  • Create a treatment plan for reducing disease progression in patients with fibrosing ILD that is consistent with current expert recommendations
  • Apply available clinical trial evidence to identify patients who are likely to benefit from emerging therapies if and when they become available
