BREAKING NEWS – NICE has approved antifibrotic drug nintedanib for ALL IPF patients. After 6-year campaign by @ActionPFCharity NICE has axed the unjust ‘80% rule’ which denied IPF patients the drug until their lung function had fallen to 80%. But, why did it take so long? #CurePF

There is no substitute for a well conducted RCT.
An incredible opportunity to contribute to this one, led by @LamontagneFran5, #NeillAdhikari, and the LOVIT team. @CCCTG_
In this trial of IV vitamin C in adult patients with sepsis, those who received a vitamin C infusion had a higher risk of death or persistent organ dysfunction at 28 days than those who received placebo. #CCR22 nej.md/3HpUNvW

I still remember excitement in our team when we managed to validate endotypes using independent cohort! Inputs from collaborators & reviewers were invaluable to finalize the paper! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 @ERSpublications for publishing our work erj.ersjournals.com/content/… @ResearchStJoes @McMasterDMS

🙏 when I wrote the grant, even when we started recruitment, I never expected it to take that long - but when I looked at the data, I said 'it is so complicated, how will we finish?' but we did it #together and ➡️this will accelerate #Sarcoidosis research erj.ersjournals.com/content/…
