Key Takeaways

Development of therapies that halt or reverse IPF and PAH progression is a significant unmet need.
Improved diagnostic tools are essential for earlier detection and intervention in IPF and PAH.
Personalized treatment approaches are needed to address individual patient variability in IPF and PAH.
Enhanced understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms is crucial for novel therapeutic target development.

Steven Nathan, MD, discusses how the study on inhaled treprostinil for CTD-PAH demonstrates its comparable efficacy to intravenous and subcutaneous forms, with a better safety profile, which could lead to improved patient adherence and management of CTD-PAH.
