Understanding a Clinician’s Toolkit for ILD Early Detection, Diagnosis, & Management Strategies to Improve Patient Outcomes
- Developing a clinical algorithm for the early detection of ILD using high-resolution CT imaging and pulmonary function tests, to differentiate between early, reversible pneumonitis and progressive fibrosis, enabling timely intervention to prevent Grade 3-5 events
- Correlating serum biomarkers with the onset and severity of ILD in real-world patient cohorts, to validate a non-invasive monitoring tool for early detection, allowing clinicians to intervene before the onset of debilitating symptoms
- Building a multidisciplinary approach involving oncologists, pulmonologists, and radiologists, to establish standardized guidelines for the management of ILD and the criteria for safe re-challenge, improving patient outcomes and preserving the therapeutic option
