We aimed to assess whether rare qualifying variants in monogenic adult-onset pulmonary fibrosis genes are associated with IPF survival. Using polygenic risk scores (PRS), we also evaluated the influence of common IPF risk variants in patients carrying the qualifying variants.<h3>Methods</h3>We identified qualifying variants in telomere and non-telomere genes using whole-genome sequences from individuals clinically diagnosed with IPF and enrolled in the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry (PFFPR), a large multicentre, observational cohort study (March 29, 2016 to June 15, 2018, n=888). We also derived a PRS for IPF (PRS-IPF) from known common sentinel IPF variants. The primary outcome was the association between qualifying variants and survival. The secondary outcome was the association between qualifying variants and PRS-IPF. We used logistic regression models adjusted for sex, age at diagnosis, and principal components of genetic heterogeneity to examine the mutual relationship of qualifying variants and PRS-IPF. The association between qualifying variants and PRS-IPF with survival was tested using Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for baseline confounders. Validation of the results was sought in data from an independent multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study of IPF in the UK (PROFILE, May 17, 2010 to Sept 5, 2017, n=472), and results were meta-analysed under a fixed-effects model.<h3>Findings</h3>We included 888 patients from PFFPR and 472 from PROFILE, totalling 1360 participants. In the PFFPR, carriers of qualifying variants in monogenic adult-onset pulmonary fibrosis genes were associated with lower PRS-IPF (odds ratio 1·79 [95% CI 1·15–2·81]; p=0·010) and shorter survival (hazard ratio 1·53 [1·12–2·10]; p=7·33 × 10<sup>–3</sup>). Individuals with the lowest PRS-IPF also had worse survival (1·61 [1·25–2·07]; p=1·87 × 10<sup>–4</sup>). These findings were validated in PROFILE and the meta-analysis of the results showed a consistent direction of effect across both cohorts.<h3>Interpretation</h3>We found non-additive effects between qualifying variants and common risk variants in IPF survival, suggesting distinct disease subtypes and raising the possibility of using PRS to guide sequencing prioritisation. Assessing the carrier status for qualifying variants and modelling PRS-IPF promises to further contribute to predicting disease progression among patients with IPF.<h3>Funding</h3>Instituto de Salud Carlos III; Instituto Tecnológico y de Eenergías Renovables; Cabildo Insular de Tenerife; Fundación DISA; National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the US National Institutes of Health; and UK Medical Research Council.","PeriodicalId":51307,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Respiratory Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":76.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143884469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ideally, treatment decisions are based on evidence from randomised clinical trials. Randomised trials conventionally report an aggregated difference in outcomes between patients in each group, known as an average treatment effect. However, the actual effect of treatment on outcomes (treatment response) can vary considerably between individuals, and can differ substantially from the average treatment effect. This variation in response to treatment between patients—heterogeneity of treatment effect—is particularly important in critical care because common critical care syndromes (eg, sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome) are clinically and biologically heterogeneous. Statistical approaches have been developed to analyse heterogeneity of treatment effect and predict individualised treatment effects for each patient. In this Review, we outline a framework for deriving and validating individualised treatment effects and identify challenges to applying individualised treatment effect estimates to inform treatment decisions in clinical care.","PeriodicalId":51307,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Respiratory Medicine","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":76.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143837070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to evaluate efficacy and safety over three RSV seasons of the AS01<sub>E</sub>-adjuvanted RSV prefusion F protein-based vaccine (RSVPreF3 OA) against RSV-related lower respiratory tract disease (RSV-LRTD) in older adults.<h3>Methods</h3>In this randomised, observer-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial (AReSVi-006), participants aged 60 years or older in 275 centres (ie, GP practices and clinical research sites) across 17 countries in Africa, Asia, Oceania, Europe, and North America were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive RSVPreF3 OA or placebo before RSV season one. RSVPreF3 OA recipients were re-randomly assigned (1:1) before RSV season two to receive a second RSVPreF3 OA dose (RSV revaccination group) or placebo (RSV single-dose group). Recipients of placebo before RSV season one also received placebo before season two (placebo group). The primary objective (efficacy against first occurrence of RSV-LRTD over one RSV season) was reported previously. Confirmatory secondary objectives were to demonstrate efficacy over three RSV seasons of a single RSVPreF3 OA dose and of a first dose followed by revaccination 1 year later, against RSV-LRTD, overall and by RSV subtype (success criteria: lower limits of two-sided CIs around efficacy estimates >20% [RSV-LRTD] and >0% [RSV-LRTD by RSV subtype]).

Efficacy analyses included 12 468 RSVPreF3 OA recipients and 12 498 placebo recipients. Cumulative efficacy over three seasons of one RSVPreF3 OA dose was 62·9% (97·5% CI 46·7–74·8) against RSV-LRTD, 69·8% (42·2–85·7) against RSV A-related LRTD, and 58·6% (35·9–74·1) against RSV B-related LRTD (median follow-up from day 15 post-dose one 30·6 months [IQR 26·2–32·0]). Efficacy was observed over three seasons among participants aged 60–69 years, participants aged 70–79 years, pre-frail participants (ie, those with a walking speed of 0·4–0·99 m/s in a gait speed test), and participants with pre-existing conditions that increase the RSV-LRTD risk.
