Presented at #ATS2025:
In the PREDMETH trial, first-line treatment of pulmonary sarcoidosis with methotrexate was noninferior to that with prednisone regarding the change at 24 weeks in the percentage of the predicted forced vital capacity. Full trial results: nej.md/4kdaf0o
Editorial: Methotrexate as Initial Therapy for Symptomatic Pulmonary Sarcoidosis? nej.md/4mhaHfW

ALT The unadjusted mean change in the percentage of the predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) in the prednisone and methotrexate groups between baseline and weeks 4, 16, and 24.

Prof. Athol Wells presents elegant data from a recent multinational Delphi consensus that:
• Progression of ILD is progression irrespective of time since diagnosis
•“despite usual management” should be included in PPF definition
Important for future PPF guidelines.

Dr. Paul Wolters underscores the purpose of the diagnostic process. Identification of UIP is critical as it may be a singular unifier. However familial cases of PF may lack a UIP CT pattern. Telomere length is a common and very valuable biomarker that is helpful.

I’m going to #ATS2024 tomorrow. I’m sitting here googling “do people say ARDSSS or A-R-D-S?” I’m too much of an ophthalmologist for this.
