0:00

Some examples of PPP F on ct.

0:02

Here's some more systemic sclerosis in in whom the disease

0:06

pattern is getting more coarse

0:07

and there's more traction

0:08

bronchiectasis over the course of a year.

0:10

Here's a patient where there's more ground lefts, pacs

0:12

and reticulation with more traction bronchiectasis.

0:15

And someone here with antis synthase syndrome.

0:18

Here's a patient with hypersensitivity pneumonitis

0:20

where clear, there's just more disease,

0:21

there's more reticulation, more going, less

0:24

and more traction, bronchiectasis, EPF.

0:27

And so the inbuilt study is really

0:29

what I think made us think

0:31

as the ILD community about this

0:33

progressive pulmonary fibrosis idea.

0:35

We now have data that shows

0:37

that these antifibrotic medication

0:39

or certain antifibrotic medications can be helpful in

0:42

patients who have a progressive pulmonary fibrosis,

0:45

even if they don't have IPF.
