Abstract
Background
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrotic interstitial lung disease with high morbidity and mortality. Inhaled treprostinil showed pulmonary vascular and lung-function signals in pulmonary hypertension associated with Interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) and was subsequently tested in IPF trials.
Objectives
This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the efficacy and safety of inhaled treprostinil in adults with IPF.
