Abstract
IPF is a chronic, progressive interstitial lung disease characterized by irreversible lung scarring, leading to exertional dyspnea and a gradual decline in pulmonary function. Its pathogenesis involves multiple mechanisms, including chronic inflammation, aberrant cytokine signaling, and alveolar epithelial injury. Currently, IPF remains incurable, and treatment primarily aims to slow disease progression and improve survival. This paper systematically reviews recent clinical trials of novel IPF drug therapies that have demonstrated promising efficacy, aiming to inform future drug development.
期刊介绍:
Pulmonary Pharmacology and Therapeutics (formerly Pulmonary Pharmacology) is concerned with lung pharmacology from molecular to clinical aspects. The subject matter encompasses the major diseases of the lung including asthma, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary circulation, ARDS, carcinoma, bronchitis, emphysema and drug delivery. Laboratory and clinical research on man and animals will be considered including studies related to chemotherapy of cancer, tuberculosis and infection. In addition to original research papers the journal will include review articles and book reviews.
Research Areas Include:
• All major diseases of the lung
• Physiology
• Pathology
• Drug delivery
• Metabolism
• Pulmonary Toxicology.
