This is an informative discussion regarding research surrounding medical trials for IPF patients. It provides patients with IPF with an honest insight from a doctors point of view of life expectancy and the hope that there will be new treatments to stop the developement of IPF not just slow the progression.

I read on this website and through other media about many new drugs for IPF. Most of the are in phase 2-3. They have had very good results with a lot of them. But , with the FDA, they will not be available for 5 years. By that time most of us suffering from this disease will be dead!!! Why can’t the more serious cases of IPF have these new drugs now as a last resort!!!

I do agree – it would at least give hope where is very little at present. The Covid drugs are a good example – they were devised and circulated and taken up by multi millions of people – surely with AI this can be considered earlier?
