Topic

Significant advances in understanding the signaling pathways that drive pulmonary fibrosis (PF) are reshaping how clinicians diagnose and treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). With the first novel-mechanism therapy in more than a decade approved in 2025 and multiple emerging agents on the horizon, pulmonology is entering a new era of targeted care. These rapid developments, paired with updated PF classification criteria, make staying current essential for all clinicians who manage fibrotic lung disease. Join PF expert Rachel N. Criner, MD for a CME-accredited, case-based challenge that brings these shifts to life. Explore clinical case scenarios, compare new and emerging therapies, and strengthen your ability to optimize treatment in an evolving PF landscape.

Credits Offered

This event offers 1.0 CME credit to attendees.

Additional Information

TARGET AUDIENCE

This educational activity is designed for pulmonologists, community pulmonologists, rheumatologists, radiologists, and primary care physicians, as well as nurse practitioners, physician associates, and other clinicians who may be involved in managing care for patients with pulmonary fibrosis. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

  • Apply updated clinical guidelines to diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and identify progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) 
  • Describe novel signaling pathways that underlie the pathophysiology of IPF and PPF and the mechanisms of action of emerging treatments  
  • Select an emerging targeted therapy for IPF and/or PPF based on clinical trial efficacy and safety data, pending FDA approval
