  • Title: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: treatment update.
    Author: O'Connell OJ, Kennedy MP, Henry MT.
    Journal: Adv Ther; 2011 Nov; 28(11):986-99. PubMed ID: 21975927.
    Abstract:
    Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias. Despite multiple recent clinical trials, there is no strong evidence supporting a survival advantage for any agent in the management of patients with IPF. The limited effectiveness of current treatment regimes has led to a search for novel therapies including antifibrotic strategies. This article reviews the evidence supporting the treatments currently used in the management of IPF.
