Abstract

Despite multiple clinical trials, there is no strong, definitive evidence in favor of any agent to treat IPF. On the other hand, the placebo arms of these large trials have provided us with important critical information on the natural history of this disease. Clinical heterogeneity represents a critical issue to be taken into account in designing future clinical trials. The limited effectiveness of current treatment regimes has fuelled the search for a variety of new therapeutic approaches.
