Presented at #ATS2025: In the PREDMETH trial, first-line treatment of pulmonary sarcoidosis with methotrexate was noninferior to that with prednisone regarding the change at 24 weeks in the percentage of the predicted forced vital capacity.

Congratulations to @Boehringer with top line data on meeting the primary endpoint of the FIBRONEER phase III IPF-study. We are looking forward to learning more about effectiveness and safety data and are cheering on all activities that can provide patients with better treatment.

Wow! Boehringer-Ingelheim announces that Nerandomilast meets primary endpoint in pivotal phase-III FIBRONEER™-IPF study - a decade after the first positive phase III trials for IPF. Cannot wait to see the full results but this EXCITING !!! #CureIPF boehringer-ingelheim.com/us/topline-res…

#NEWS: We’re excited to announce that our Phase III trial in people living with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) met its primary endpoint.     Learn more here: bit.ly/47JWDoB

Exciting results of the PREDMETH study #ERScongress. Methotrexate is as effective as Prednisone for pulmonary sarcoidosis after 24 weeks! @ILD_ErasmusMC @ers_ild @antoniuszkh

One more out from the #GRADS superteam!! "Chest CT provides more information than CXR in determining extent of physiologic impairment in pulmonary sarcoidosis" Kudos Drs Benn, Maier & GRADS investigators #SaySarcoidosis #BeyondScadding #FundedByNHLBI doi.org/10.1016/j.ches…

Prof. Athol Wells presents elegant data from a recent multinational Delphi consensus that: • Progression of ILD is progression irrespective of time since diagnosis •“despite usual management” should be included in PPF definition Important for future PPF guidelines. #ATS2024

Dr. Paul Wolters underscores the purpose of the diagnostic process. Identification of UIP is critical as it may be a singular unifier. However familial cases of PF may lack a UIP CT pattern. Telomere length is a common and very valuable biomarker that is helpful. #ATS2024

@mwsharp5 Awesome turnout, Michelle! Thanks for organizing and helping the “family” stay connected. Any trainees looking for niche…think about #sarcoidosis. The nicest people work in sarcoidosis. #ATS2024

🧵 1/ What’s at stake with race-based equations for lung function? Clinical, occupational, and financial reclassifications for millions of patients. I’m delighted to share this labor of love, published today in @NEJM and unveiled at #ATS2024. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

@GallodeMoraesMD @DGlaucomflecken @atscommunity 🤣

@DGlaucomflecken started his keynote speech @atscommunity by saying that we managed to get the ophthalmologist to come in on a Saturday! Love it! #ATS2024

iclaf.org/wp-content/upl… #ICLAF2024 program now available and it looks goooooood! Excited to head to Athens in October and hear the latest advances in our understanding PF and our efforts to #CureIPF

@IPFdoc Getting the first opportunity to attend #ICLAF this year and can’t wait!

Pulmonology AND critical care?? Idk seems like a lot

I’m going to #ATS2024 tomorrow. I’m sitting here googling “do people say ARDSSS or A-R-D-S?” I’m too much of an ophthalmologist for this.
