Abstract: Abstract Background Multidisciplinary discussion (MDD), in which physicians, radiologists, and pathologists communicate and diagnose together, has been reported to improve diagnostic accuracy compared to diagnoses made solely by physicians. However, even among experts, diagnostic concordance of MDD is not always good, and some patients may not receive a specific diagnosis due to insufficient findings. A provisional diagnosis based on the ontology with a diagnostic confidence level has recently been proposed. Additionally, we developed an artificial intelligence model to differentiate idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) from other chronic interstitial lung diseases (ILD)s, which needs validation in a broader population. Methods This prospective nationwide ILD registry has recruited patients with newly diagnosed ILD at the referral respiratory hospitals in Japan and provides rapid MDD diagnoses and treatment recommendations through a central online MDD platform with a 3-year follow-up period. A modified diagnostic ontology is used. If no diagnosis reaches more than 50% certainty, the diagnosis is unclassifiable ILD. If multiple diseases are expected, the diagnosis with a high probability takes precedence. If the confidence levels for the top two possible diagnoses are equal, the diagnosis can be unclassifiable. The registry uses tentative diagnostic criteria for nonspecific interstitial pneumonia with organising pneumonia and smoking-related ILD not otherwise specified as possible new entities. Central MDD diagnosticians review the clinical data, test results, radiology images, and pathological specimens on a dedicated website and conduct MDD diagnoses using online meetings with a cloud-based reporting system. This study aims to (1) provide MDD diagnoses with treatment recommendations; (2) determine the overall ILD rates in Japan; (3) clarify the reasons for unclassifiable ILDs; (4) evaluate possible new disease entities; (5) identify progressive phenotypes and create a clinical prediction model; (6) measure the agreement rate between institutional and central diagnoses in ILD referral and non-referral centres; (7) identify key factors for each specific ILD diagnosis; and (8) create a new disease classification system based on treatment strategies, including the use of antifibrotic drugs. Discussion This study will provide ILD frequencies, including new entities, using central MDD on dedicated online systems, and develop a machine learning model for ILD diagnosis and prognosis prediction.

Abstract: Abstract Background Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening inflammatory lung injury with high mortality; no approved medication exists. Efficacy and safety of bone marrow–derived, allogeneic, multipotent adult progenitor cells (invimestrocel) plus standard treatment in patients with ARDS caused by pneumonia was evaluated. Methods A randomized, open-label, standard therapy–controlled, phase 2 study (January 2019–September 2021) conducted in 29 centers in Japan. Patients with ARDS caused by pneumonia, with extensive early fibroproliferation on high-resolution computed tomography and low risk of systemic organ failure identified by an Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) score were included. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive a single intravenous infusion of 9.0 × 108 cells of invimestrocel (administered at a rate of up to 10 mL/min over 30–60 min by free flow) plus standard treatment (N = 20) or standard treatment (N = 10) consistent with the clinical practice guidelines of the Japanese Respiratory Society for the management of ARDS. Primary endpoint was ventilator-free days (VFDs) through day 28 after study treatment. Analysis of covariance was performed with treatment group, age, partial pressure arterial oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen ratio, and APACHE II score as covariates. Results Median (interquartile range) number of VFDs was numerically higher in the invimestrocel group versus standard group (20.0 [0.0–24.0] vs 11.0 [0.0–14.0]) but was not statistically significantly different (least square [LS] means [95% confidence interval (CI)]: invimestrocel group, 11.6 [6.9–16.3]; standard group, 6.2 [− 0.4 to 12.8]; LS mean difference [95% CI], 5.4 [− 1.9 to 12.8]; p = 0.1397). Ventilator weaning rate at day 28 was 65% (13/20) versus 30% (3/10), and mortality rate was 21% (4/19) versus 29% (2/7) at day 28 and 26% (5/19 patients) versus 43% (3/7 patients) at day 180, for the invimestrocel and standard groups, respectively. No allergic or serious adverse reactions were associated with invimestrocel. Conclusions In Japanese patients with ARDS caused by pneumonia, invimestrocel plus standard treatment resulted in no significant difference in the number of VFDs but may result in improved survival compared with standard treatment. Invimestrocel was well tolerated. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, Identifier: NCT03807804; January 8, 2019; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03807804 .

Subjects: Interstitial lung abnormality (ILA), Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, Progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF), Diseases of the respiratory system, RC705-779
Abstract: Abstract Background Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) are subtle or mild parenchymal abnormalities observed in more than 5% of the lungs on computed tomography (CT) scans in patients in whom interstitial lung disease was not previously clinically suspected and is considered. ILA is considered to be partly undeveloped stages of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). This study aims to clarify the frequency of subsequent IPF or PPF diagnosis, the natural course from the preclinical status of the diseases, and the course after commencing treatment. Methods This is an ongoing, prospective, multicentre observational cohort study of patients with ILA referred from general health screening facilities with more than 70,000 annual attendances. Up to 500 participants will be enrolled annually over 3 years, with 5-year assessments every six months. Treatment intervention including anti-fibrotic agents will be introduced in disease progression cases. The primary outcome is the frequency of subsequent IPF or PPF diagnoses. Additionally, secondary and further endpoints are associated with the efficacy of early therapeutic interventions in cases involving disease progression, including quantitative assessment by artificial intelligence. Discussion This is the first prospective, multicentre, observational study to clarify (i) the aetiological data of patients with ILA from the largest general health check-up population, (ii) the natural course of IPF or PPF from the asymptomatic stage, and (iii) the effects and outcomes of early therapeutic intervention including anti-fibrotic agents for progressive cases of ILA. The results of this study could significantly impact the clinical practice and treatment strategy for progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases. Trial registration number UMIN000045149.

Subjects: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, Acute exacerbation, Corticosteroids, Diseases of the respiratory system, RC705-779
Abstract: Abstract Background Although corticosteroid therapy with dose tapering is the most commonly used treatment for acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF), there is no consensus on the tapering regimen. This study aimed to investigate the association between early corticosteroid dose tapering and in-hospital mortality in patients with AE-IPF. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed the data of a cohort from eight Japanese tertiary care hospitals and routinely collected administrative data from a cohort from 185 Japanese hospitals. Patients with AE-IPF were classified into the early and non-early tapering groups depending on whether the maintenance dose of corticosteroids was reduced within two weeks of admission. Propensity score analysis with inverse probability weighting (IPW) was performed to estimate the effect of early corticosteroid dose tapering. Results The multi-center cohort included 153 eligible patients, of whom 47 (31%) died, whereas the administrative cohort included 229 patients, of whom 51 (22%) died. Patients with early tapering tended to have a better prognosis than those without it (unadjusted hazard ratio [95% confidence interval] 0.41 [0.22–0.76] and 0.65 [0.36–1.18] in the multi-center and administrative cohorts, respectively). After IPW, the early tapering group had a better prognosis than the non-early tapering group (IPW-adjusted hazard ratio [95% confidence interval] 0.37 [0.14–0.99] and 0.27 [0.094–0.83] in the multi-center and administrative cohorts, respectively). Conclusion Early corticosteroid dose tapering was associated with a favorable prognosis in patients with AE-IPF. Further studies are warranted to confirm the effects of early corticosteroid dose tapering in patients with AE-IPF.

Abstract: Abstract Background The joint committee of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine/Japanese Respiratory Society/Japanese Society of Respiratory Care Medicine on ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline has created and released the ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline 2021. Methods The 2016 edition of the Clinical Practice Guideline covered clinical questions (CQs) that targeted only adults, but the present guideline includes 15 CQs for children in addition to 46 CQs for adults. As with the previous edition, we used a systematic review method with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system as well as a degree of recommendation determination method. We also conducted systematic reviews that used meta-analyses of diagnostic accuracy and network meta-analyses as a new method. Results Recommendations for adult patients with ARDS are described: we suggest against using serum C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels to identify bacterial pneumonia as the underlying disease (GRADE 2D); we recommend limiting tidal volume to 4–8 mL/kg for mechanical ventilation (GRADE 1D); we recommend against managements targeting an excessively low SpO2 (PaO2) (GRADE 2D); we suggest against using transpulmonary pressure as a routine basis in positive end-expiratory pressure settings (GRADE 2B); we suggest implementing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for those with severe ARDS (GRADE 2B); we suggest against using high-dose steroids (GRADE 2C); and we recommend using low-dose steroids (GRADE 1B). The recommendations for pediatric patients with ARDS are as follows: we suggest against using non-invasive respiratory support (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation/high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy) (GRADE 2D), we suggest placing pediatric patients with moderate ARDS in the prone position (GRADE 2D), we suggest against routinely implementing NO inhalation therapy (GRADE 2C), and we suggest against implementing daily sedation interruption for pediatric patients with respiratory failure (GRADE 2D). Conclusions This article is a translated summary of the full version of the ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline 2021 published in Japanese (URL: https://www.jsicm.org/publication/guideline.html ). The original text, which was written for Japanese healthcare professionals, may include different perspectives from healthcare professionals of other countries.

Abstract: BackgroundThere is no existing reliable and practical method for predicting the prognosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).ObjectiveWe aimed to clarify the association between the ROX index, which is calculated as the ratio of peripheral oxygen saturation divided by the fraction of inspired oxygen to the respiratory rate, and the prognosis of patients with ARDS under ventilator support.MethodsIn this single-center retrospective cohort study from prospectively collected database, eligible patients were categorized into three groups based on ROX tertiles. The primary outcome was the 28-day survival, and the secondary outcome was 28-day liberation from ventilator support. We performed multivariable analysis using the Cox proportional hazards model.ResultsAmong 93 eligible patients, 24 (26%) patients died. The patients were divided into three groups according to the ROX index (< 7.4, 7.4-11, ≥ 11), with 13, 7, and 4 patients dying in the groups, respectively. A higher ROX index was associated with lower mortality; adjusted hazard ratios [95% CIs] for increasing tertiles of ROX index: 1[reference], 0.54[0.21-1.41], 0.23[0.074-0.72] (P = 0.011 for trend) and a higher rate of successful 28-day liberation from ventilator support; adjusted hazard ratios [95% CIs] for increasing tertiles of ROX index: 1[reference], 1.41[0.68-2.94], 2.80[1.42-5.52] (P = 0.001 for trend).ConclusionsThe ROX index at 24 h after initiating ventilator support is a predictor of outcomes in patients with ARDS and might inform initiation of more advanced treatments.

Abstract: Background Diffuse pulmonary ossification is a specific lung condition that is accompanied by underlying diseases. However, idiopathic dendriform pulmonary ossification (IDPO) is extremely rare, and the clinical features remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to report the clinical characteristics of IDPO.Methods We conducted a nationwide survey of patients with IDPO from 2017 to 2019 in Japan and evaluated the clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings of patients diagnosed with IDPO.Results Twenty-two cases of IDPO were identified. Most subjects (82%) were male, aged 22–56 years (mean (SD), 37.9 (9.1)) at diagnosis. Nearly 80% of the subjects were asymptomatic, and the condition was discovered during a medical check-up. However, 36% of the subjects showed a decline in forced vital capacity (%FVC) predicted 20 years) follow-up are required to clarify the pathogenesis and clinical findings in IDPO.

Abstract: Abstract Background The use of baseline tumor burden (TB) as a prognostic factor for non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and associations between TB and other prognostic biomarkers remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the association between TB and survival in NSCLC patients treated with ICIs in comparison with other biomarkers. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 83 NSCLC patients with ICIs administered between February 2016 and December 2018. TB was measured as the sum of the unidimensional diameters of up to five target lesions. Results The median observation period was 14.2 months. A total of 42 patients died during the follow‐up. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that baseline TB was associated with OS. Cox regression analysis adjusted for Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) alone or with addition of programmed cell death ligand 1 expression and treatment line showed that TB was a prognostic factor for OS. Using time‐dependent receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the optimal TB cutoff for predicting OS was 12 cm, and patients were divided into a high TB group (n = 21) and a low TB group (n = 62). The low TB group achieved significantly longer OS than the high TB group (median OS: 18.5 months, [95% CI = 11.7‐not reached] vs. 2.3 months [95% CI = 1.3–2.9], P

Subjects: Medicine
Abstract: Introduction Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fibrotic disease of unknown aetiology with a poor prognosis. Several clinical trials of nintedanib in patients with IPF have reported its inhibitory effect on reduced lung function, incidence of acute exacerbation of IPF and worsened health-related quality of life. Although nintedanib has a manageable safety and tolerability profile over long-term use, it was discontinued in over 20% of patients because of adverse events such as diarrhoea and liver dysfunction. This might explain why nintedanib use in patients with IPF is not widespread, especially among patients with early-stage IPF. In the present study, we aimed to clarify the efficacy, safety and tolerability of nintedanib in patients with stage I/II IPF, based on the Japanese IPF disease severity staging classification system.Methods and analysis This is an ongoing, prospective, multicentre observational cohort study of patients with stage I/II IPF who will start receiving nintedanib. Totally, 215 patients at 35 sites in Kyushu and Okinawa, Japan will be enrolled and followed up for 3 years. Nintedanib therapy would be initiated at the discretion of the investigator. The primary endpoint, change in forced vital capacity (FVC) at 156 weeks, will be shown as the mean change in FVC from baseline to week 156 with 95% CIs estimated using the Wald method. The safety endpoint—occurrence of adverse events—will be assessed in each system organ class/preferred term.Ethics and dissemination The study protocol and informed consent documents were approved by the Institutional Review Board at Nagasaki University Hospital (approval number 19102146) and each participating site. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants. Patient recruitment has begun. The results will be disseminated through scientific peer-reviewed publications and national and international conferences.Trial registration number UMIN000038192.

Subjects: IPF, Antifibrotic agent, Corticosteroids, Chronic fibrotic interstitial pneumonia, Proton pump inhibitor, Diseases of the respiratory system, RC705-779
Abstract: Abstract Background and objective Here, we present real-world data on the incidence and risk factors of acute exacerbation (AE) in patients with chronic fibrotic interstitial pneumonia (CFIP) treated with antifibrotic agents, which has been previously poorly documented. Methods We retrospectively examined clinical characteristics, incidence and risk factors of AE in a cohort of 100 patients with CFIP (n = 75, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [IPF]; n = 25, other conditions), all of whom received antifibrotic agents in a real-world setting. Results The median follow-up was 17.4 months (interquartile range [IQR], 6.6 to 26.7 months). During the follow-up periods, 21 patients experienced AE after starting antifibrotic agents. The estimated 1-, 2-, and 3-year AE incidence rates were 11.4% (95% confidence interval [95%CI], 6.2–20.3%), 32% (95%CI, 20.7–47.4%), and 36.3% (95%CI 23.5–53.1%), respectively. Decreased baseline lung function (forced vital capacity and carbon monoxide diffusing capacity of the lung), existence of pulmonary hypertension estimated from an echocardiogram, higher Interstitial Lung Disease-Gender, Age, and Physiology (ILD-GAP) score, supplementary oxygen, and concomitant corticosteroid and proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) use upon starting the antifibrotic agent were risk factors of AE. Concomitant corticosteroid and PPI use and corticosteroid dose were risk factor of AE in a multivariate Cox regression hazard model adjusting for ILD-GAP score. Conclusion AE of CFIP is more common in patients with physiologically and functionally advanced disease under antifibrotic agents. Prudent use of corticosteroids and PPIs when initiating antifibrotic agents may be recommended. Further studies are warranted.

14. Case report: continued treatment with alectinib is possible for patients with lung adenocarcinoma with drug-induced interstitial lung disease

Author: Tatsuya Nitawaki, Yoshihiko Sakata, Kodai Kawamura, and Kazuya Ichikado
Subjects: Lung cancer, Non-small cell lung cancer, ALK, Alectinib, Interstitial lung disease, GGO, Diseases of the respiratory system, RC705-779
Abstract: Abstract Background Alectinib, a second-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor, is a key drug for ALK rearranged lung adenocarcinoma. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an important adverse effect of alectinib, which generally requires termination of treatment. However, we treated two patients with drug-induced ILD who continued to receive alectinib. Case presentation Patient 1 was a 57-year-old male with an ALK-rearranged Stage IV lung adenocarcinoma who was administered alectinib as first-line therapy. Computed tomography (CT) detected asymptomatic ground-glass opacity (GGO) on day 33 of treatment. Alectinib therapy was therefore discontinued for 7 days and then restarted. GGO disappeared, and the progression of ILD ceased. Patient 2 was a 64-year-old woman with an ALK-positive lung adenocarcinoma who was administered alectinib as third-line therapy. One year later, CT detected GGO; and she had a slight, nonproductive cough. Alectinib therapy was continued in the absence of other symptoms, and GGO slightly diminished after 7 days. Two months later, CT detected increased GGO, and alectinib therapy was continued. GGO diminished again after 7 days. The patient has taken alectinib for more than 2 years without progression of ILD. Conclusions Certain patients with alectinib-induced ILD Grade 2 or less may continue alectinib therapy if they are closely managed.

Subjects: Interstitial pneumonia, Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, Acute exacerbation, Survival analysis, Azithromycin, Prognostic factors, Diseases of the respiratory system, RC705-779
Abstract: Abstract Background Acute exacerbation (AE) of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal condition without an established pharmaceutical treatment. Most patients are treated with high-dose corticosteroids and broad-spectrum antibiotics. Azithromycin is a macrolide with immunomodulatory activity and may be beneficial for treatment of acute lung injury. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of azithromycin on survival of patients with idiopathic AE of IPF. Methods We evaluated 85 consecutive patients hospitalized in our department for idiopathic AE of IPF from April 2005 to August 2016. The initial 47 patients were treated with a fluoroquinolone-based regimen (control group), and the following 38 consecutive patients were treated with azithromycin (500 mg/day) for 5 days. Idiopathic AE of IPF was defined using the criteria established by the 2016 International Working Group. Results Mortality in patients treated with azithromycin was significantly lower than in those treated with fluoroquinolones (azithromycin, 26% vs. control, 70%; p

Subjects: Acute respiratory distress syndrome, High-dose corticosteroid therapy, Mortality, Medical emergencies. Critical care. Intensive care. First aid, RC86-88.9
Abstract: Abstract Background The efficacy of corticosteroid use in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains controversial. Generally, short-term high-dose corticosteroid therapy is considered to be ineffective in ARDS. On the other hand, low-dose, long-term use of corticosteroids has been reported to be effective since they provide continued inhibition of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) that accompanies ARDS. Thus far, no reports have been published on the efficacy of initiating treatment with a high-dose corticosteroid regimen with tapering. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study involving 186 patients treated at a teaching hospital (68% had sepsis, pneumonia, or aspiration pneumonia). ARDS was diagnosed according to the Berlin definition. Patients were divided into a high-dose (n = 21) or low-dose corticosteroid group (n = 165) to compare the effectiveness of a down-titration regimen. The primary medical team chose which treatment a patient would receive. We were careful to conduct a differential diagnosis of interstitial pneumonia (e.g., acute eosinophilic pneumonia) since corticosteroid treatment has been proven effective in that patient population. The primary outcome was the 60-day mortality rate. The secondary outcome was the number of ventilator-free days (VFD). Results Those started on a high-dose regimen had a significantly higher 60-day mortality rate (P = 0.031) with significantly fewer VFD (P = 0.021). Propensity scores were used to adjust patient backgrounds in a variable analysis that also showed the high-dose regimen was a factor in decreasing VFD (OR, 95.63; 95% CI, 1.74–5271.07; P = 0.026) and worsening the 60-day mortality rate (OR, 2.54; 95% CI, 0.92–7.02; P = 0.072). Conclusions A tapering regimen after high-dose corticosteroids is likely to increase ventilator dependency and might aggravate the prognosis of patients with ARDS diagnosed according to the Berlin definition.

Subjects: Medicine, Science
Abstract: Few studies have reported the diagnostic variability in patients with a possible usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern on high-resolution CT (HRCT) who underwent surgical lung biopsy (SLB), and the prognostic factors for these patients have not been fully evaluated. We retrospectively investigated the frequency of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and prognostic factors in patients with possible UIP pattern on HRCT.Consecutive patients who had a possible UIP pattern on HRCT, underwent SLB, and had a diagnosis of IIPs before SLB were retrospectively recruited from 10 hospitals. Diagnoses were made based on multidisciplinary discussion using the criteria for current IPF guidelines and multidisciplinary classification for IIPs in each hospital.179 patients who underwent SLB were enrolled. The diagnoses were IPF in 91 patients (51%), unclassifiable IIPs in 47 (26%), idiopathic NSIP in 18 (10%), and chronic hypersensitivity pneumonia in 17 (9%). One-year FVC changes showed significant differences between IPF and non-IPF (-138.6 mL versus 18.2 mL, p = 0.014). Patients with IPF had a worse mortality than those with non-IPF (Logrank test, p = 0.025). Multivariable Cox regression analysis demonstrated that diagnoses of IPF (HR, 2.961; 95% CI, 1.183-7.410; p = 0.02), high modified MRC score (HR, 1.587; 95% CI, 1.003-2.510; p = 0.049), and low %FVC (HR, 0.972; 95% CI, 0.953-0.992; p = 0.005).About a half of patients with a possible UIP pattern on HRCT had diagnoses other than IPF, and patients with IPF had a worse mortality than those with an alternative diagnosis. We reaffirmed that multidisciplinary discussion is crucial in patients with possible UIP pattern on HRCT.

Subjects: Orbital metastasis, Crizotinib, Adverse event, Anaplastic lymphoma kinase, Lung cancer, Lung adenocarcinoma, Neoplasms. Tumors. Oncology. Including cancer and carcinogens, RC254-282
Abstract: Orbital metastasis of lung cancer is rare. It often causes visual disorder. To date, there are only a few case reports. Crizotinib is an anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) tyrosine kinase inhibitor that leads to responses in most patients with ALK-positive non-small-cell lung cancer. Visual disorder is one of the popular adverse events of crizotinib, but the symptom almost decreases over time. We report a case of orbital metastasis as the disease progression of ALK-positive lung cancer treated with crizotinib. It should be kept in mind that orbital metastasis can be the disease progression of lung adenocarcinoma with ALK translocation treated with crizotinib. When physicians encounter a patient receiving crizotinib with visual disorder, we must distinguish between adverse events and orbital metastasis.

Subjects: Amiodarone, Interstitial pneumonia, Smoking, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Diseases of the circulatory (Cardiovascular) system, RC666-701
Abstract: Background: Amiodarone is a useful antiarrhythmic drug, especially in patients with serious heart diseases, but amiodarone-induced interstitial pneumonia (AMD-IP) is sometimes lethal. Methods and results: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics of 280 patients who were treated with daily oral amiodarone. Among the patients, 29 (10.2%) developed AMD-IP during the follow-up period of 66.0±38.2 months. The average dose of amiodarone in the AMD-IP group (173±10 mg) was significantly higher than that in the non-AMD-IP group (150±3 mg). The prevalence of smoking history (AMD-IP group: 70.0%; non-AMD-IP group: 42.2%; P5 years, 10.2% of patients receiving low-dose amiodarone therapy developed AMD-IP. Higher maintenance doses, smoking history, and preexisting lung disease were related to the development of AMD-IP. The AMD-IP patients with COPD had a poor prognosis.

Subjects: Alkaline phosphatase, Flare phenomenon, Non-small cell lung cancer, Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, Diseases of the respiratory system, RC705-779
Abstract: Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) flare phenomenon documented as scintigraphic flare phenomenon due to elevated serum ALP levels produced by osteoblasts reflects an osteoblastic reaction in response to the effective therapy of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we report a case of ALP flare following gefitinib treatment for NSCLC. We also retrospectively analyzed the prevalence of ALP flare in lung cancer patients treated via epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor in our hospital. Recognition of this phenomenon is important for physicians treating NSCLC patients to avoid discontinuation of a potentially beneficial treatment because of misdiagnosis for refractory multiple bone metastasis or adverse effect.

Abstract: IntroductionInterstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) are subtle or mild parenchymal abnormalities observed in more than 5 % of the lungs on CT scans in patients in whom interstitial lung disease was not previously clinically suspected and is considered. ILA is considered to be partly undeveloped stages of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). This study aims to clarify the frequency of subsequent IPF or PPF diagnosis, the natural course from the preclinical status of the diseases, and the course after commencing treatment.Methods and analysisThis is an ongoing, prospective, multicentre observational cohort study of patients with ILA referred from general health screening facilities with more than 70000 annual attendances. Up to 500 participants will be enrolled annually over 3 years, with 5-year assessments every six months. Treatment intervention including anti-fibrotic agents will be introduced in disease progression cases. The primary outcome is the frequency of subsequent IPF or PPF diagnoses. Additionally, secondary and further endpoints are associated with the efficacy of early therapeutic interventions in cases involving disease progression.Ethics and disseminationThis study protocol and informed consent documents have been approved by the Institutional Review Boards of Kumamoto University Hospital (approval number: 2368), Saiseikai Kumamoto Hospital (approval number: 809), and each participating institution. Additionally, written informed consent will be obtained from all participants. Patient recruitment commenced on 20 June 2022. The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and international conferences.Trial registration numberUMIN000045149Strengths and limitations of this studyThis is the first prospective, multicentre, observational study to clarify the following points:the aetiological data of patients with ILA from a large general health check-up populationthe natural course of IPF or PPF from the asymptomatic stagethe effects and outcomes of early therapeutic intervention including anti-fibrotic agents for progressive cases of ILA.The limitations of the study:participants missing the regular 6-monthly visits after consenting to participate in the study because of their asymptomatic or the pandemic viral infection.

25. Skeletal muscle atrophy and short-term mortality in patients with acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: An observational cohort study

Author: Yu Ito, Keisuke Anan, Nobuyasu Awano, Yuki Kataoka, Takeshi Johkoh, Kiminori Fujimoto, Kazuya Ichikado, Kazunori Tobino, Ryo Tachikawa, Hiroyuki Ito, Takahito Nakamura, Tomoo Kishaba, Yosuke Yamamoto, Minoru Inomata, and Takehiro Izumo
Subjects: Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine
Abstract: Skeletal muscle atrophy often complicates idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). IPF patients frequently experience acute exacerbation (AE), but the association between skeletal muscle atrophy and mortality remains unknown in AE-IPF patients. Herein, cross-sectional areas of the erector spinae muscle (ESMCSA) and the pectoralis muscle (PMCSA) of AE-IPF patients were analysed via computed tomography. Primary outcome was 90-day mortality. Survival probability was estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method, and the log-rank test was used between the low and high groups of ESMCSA and PMCSA. We used multivariable Cox proportional-hazards models to evaluate the association between ESMCSA and PMCSA and prognosis. Among the 212 patients, 94 (44%) died during the observation period. The low ESMCSA group (2) had a significantly worse prognosis than the high group (≥ 25.6 cm2) (hazard ratio (HR) [95% confidence interval (CI)]: 1.52 [1.00–2.33], p = 0.049). Multivariable analyses showed that all-cause mortality was associated with low ESMCSA (model 1, adjusted HR [95% CI]: 1.59 [0.98–2.60]; model 2, 1.55 [0.95–2.56] and model 3, 1.67 [1.00–2.78]). A similar trend was observed between low PMCSA and poor prognosis (HR [95% CI]: 1.39 [0.88–2.20]). In conclusion, low ESMCSA is associated with high 90-day mortality in AE-IPF patients.

Subjects: Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, Male, Phenotype, Osteogenesis, Vital Capacity, Disease Progression, Humans, Female, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Abstract: BackgroundDiffuse pulmonary ossification is a specific lung condition that is accompanied by underlying diseases. However, idiopathic dendriform pulmonary ossification (IDPO) is extremely rare, and the clinical features remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to report the clinical characteristics of IDPO.MethodsWe conducted a nationwide survey of patients with IDPO from 2017 to 2019 in Japan and evaluated the clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings of patients diagnosed with IDPO.ResultsTwenty-two cases of IDPO were identified. Most subjects (82%) were male, aged 22–56 years (mean (SD), 37.9 (9.1)) at diagnosis. Nearly 80% of the subjects were asymptomatic, and the condition was discovered during a medical check-up. However, 36% of the subjects showed a decline in forced vital capacity (%FVC) predicted )) at diagnosis. Nearly 80% of the subjects were asymptomatic, and the condition was discovered during a medical check-up. However, 36% of the subjects showed a decline in forced vital capacity (%FVC) predicted ConclusionsIDPO develops at a young age with gradually progressive phenotype. Further research and long-term (>20 years) follow-up are required to clarify the pathogenesis and clinical findings in IDPO.

Abstract: BackgroundCurrent incidence and outcome of patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) are unknown, especially for patients not meeting criteria for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).MethodsAn international, multicentre, prospective cohort study of patients presenting with hypoxaemia early in the course of mechanical ventilation, conducted during four consecutive weeks in the winter of 2014 in 459 ICUs from 50 countries (LUNG SAFE). Patients were enrolled with arterial oxygen tension/inspiratory oxygen fraction ratio ≤300 mmHg, new pulmonary infiltrates and need for mechanical ventilation with a positive end-expiratory pressure of ≥5 cmH2O. ICU prevalence, causes of hypoxaemia, hospital survival and factors associated with hospital mortality were measured. Patients with unilateral versus bilateral opacities were compared.Findings12 906 critically ill patients received mechanical ventilation and 34.9% with hypoxaemia and new infiltrates were enrolled, separated into ARDS (69.0%), unilateral infiltrate (22.7%) and congestive heart failure (CHF; 8.2%). The global hospital mortality was 38.6%. CHF patients had a mortality comparable to ARDS (44.1% versus 40.4%). Patients with unilateral-infiltrate had lower unadjusted mortality, but similar adjusted mortality compared to those with ARDS. The number of quadrants on chest imaging was associated with an increased risk of death. There was no difference in mortality comparing patients with unilateral-infiltrate and ARDS with only two quadrants involved.InterpretationMore than one-third of patients receiving mechanical ventilation have hypoxaemia and new infiltrates with a hospital mortality of 38.6%. Survival is dependent on the degree of pulmonary involvement whether or not ARDS criteria are reached.

Abstract: BackgroundIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterised by worsening dyspnoea and exercise intolerance.Research questionDoes a long-term pulmonary rehabilitation improve exercise tolerance in patients with IPF treated with standard antifibrotic drugs, which are expected to reduce disease progression?MethodsThis open-label randomised controlled trial was performed at 19 institutions. Stable patients receiving nintedanib were randomised into pulmonary rehabilitation and control groups (1:1). The pulmonary rehabilitation group underwent initial rehabilitation which included twice-weekly sessions of monitored exercise training for 12 weeks, followed by an at-home rehabilitation programme for 40 weeks. The control group received usual care only, without pulmonary rehabilitation. Both groups continued to receive nintedanib. The primary and main secondary outcomes were change in 6 min walking distance (6MWD) and change in endurance time (using cycle ergometry) at week 52.ResultsEighty-eight patients were randomised into pulmonary rehabilitation (n=45) and control (n=43) groups. Changes in 6MWD were −33 m (95% CI −65 to −1) and −53 m (95% CI −86 to −21) in the pulmonary rehabilitation and control groups, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (mean difference, 21 m (95% CI −25 to 66), p=0.38). Changes in endurance time were significantly better in the pulmonary rehabilitation (64 s, 95% CI −42.3 to 171)) than in the control (−123 s (95% CI −232 to −13)) group (mean difference, 187 s (95% CI 34 to 153), p=0.019).InterpretationAlthough pulmonary rehabilitation in patients taking nintedanib did not improve 6MWD in the long term, it led to prolonged improvement in endurance time.Trial registration numberUMIN000026376.

Abstract: Radiologic diagnosis of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (CHP) presenting a usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern is challenging. The aim of this study was to identify the high-resolution CT (HRCT) findings which are useful to discriminate CHP–UIP from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This study included 49 patients with well-established bird-related CHP–UIP, histologically confirmed, and 49 patients with IPF. Two groups of observers independently assessed HRCT, evaluated the extent of each abnormal HRCT finding. When their radiological diagnosis was CHP–UIP, they noted the HRCT findings inconsistent with IPF. Correct CT diagnoses were made in 79% of CHP–UIP and 53% of IPF. Although no apparent difference was seen in the extent of each HRCT finding, upper or mid-lung predominance, extensive ground-glass abnormality, and profuse micronodules were more frequently pointed out as inconsistent findings in CHP–UIP than IPF (p = 0.007, 0.010, 0.001, respectively). On regression analysis, profuse micronodules [OR 13.34 (2.85–62.37); p = 0.001] and upper or mid-lung predominance of findings [OR 2.86 (1.16–7.01); p = 0.022] remained as variables in the equation. In this cohort, some IPF cases were misdiagnosed as CHP–UIP. Profuse micronodules and upper or mid-lung predominance are important clues for the differentiation of CHP–UIP from IPF.

Abstract: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a recently-emerged infectious disease that has caused millions of deaths, where comprehensive understanding of disease mechanisms is still unestablished. In particular, studies of gene expression dynamics and regulation landscape in COVID-19 infected individuals are limited. Here, we report on a thorough analysis of whole blood RNA-seq data from 465 genotyped samples from the Japan COVID-19 Task Force, including 359 severe and 106 non-severe COVID-19 cases. We discover 1169 putative causal expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) including 34 possible colocalizations with biobank fine-mapping results of hematopoietic traits in a Japanese population, 1549 putative causal splice QTLs (sQTLs; e.g. two independent sQTLs at TOR1AIP1), as well as biologically interpretable trans-eQTL examples (e.g., REST and STING1), all fine-mapped at single variant resolution. We perform differential gene expression analysis to elucidate 198 genes with increased expression in severe COVID-19 cases and enriched for innate immune-related functions. Finally, we evaluate the limited but non-zero effect of COVID-19 phenotype on eQTL discovery, and highlight the presence of COVID-19 severity-interaction eQTLs (ieQTLs; e.g., CLEC4C and MYBL2). Our study provides a comprehensive catalog of whole blood regulatory variants in Japanese, as well as a reference for transcriptional landscapes in response to COVID-19 infection., 「コロナ制圧タスクフォース」COVID-19患者由来の血液細胞における遺伝子発現の網羅的解析 --重症度に応じた遺伝子発現の変化には、ヒトゲノム配列の個人差が影響する--. 京都大学プレスリリース. 2022-08-23.

Abstract: Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) causes short-term improvement in exercise capacity, in IPF, but long-term maintenance is difficult. Nintedanib has been shown to slow the worsening of pulmonary function in IPF. The concomitant use of nintedanib with PR may contribute to the long-term maintenance of PR effects. Methods: This is a multicenter, randomized, prospective, parallel-group, open-label trial. Patients in the PR group will receive a programmed short-term PR induction, followed by home-based PR maintenance. Patients in the control group will receive usual outpatient care. Patients in both groups will continue to receive nintedanib. The primary endpoint is the change in the 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) from baseline to 12-months in the two groups. The main secondary endpoint is the change in endurance exercise time, measured using a bicycle ergometer. Results: Of the 88 randomized subjects, 74 completed the study (PR group n=38, control group n=36). In the primary-endpoint analysis, the change in 6MWD was -24 m in the PR group and -37 m in the control group (p=0.1502). In the main secondary-endpoint analysis, the change in endurance time was 93 sec in the PR group and -99 sec in the control group (p=0.0032). Conclusions: A long-term PR program in combination with nintedanib in patients with IPF did not improve 6MWD but did improve endurance exercise time.

Abstract: Background Concerns exist regarding the prevalence and impact of unnecessary oxygen use in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We examined this issue in patients with ARDS enrolled in the Large observational study to UNderstand the Global impact of Severe Acute respiratory FailurE (LUNG SAFE) study. Methods In this secondary analysis of the LUNG SAFE study, we wished to determine the prevalence and the outcomes associated with hyperoxemia on day 1, sustained hyperoxemia, and excessive oxygen use in patients with early ARDS. Patients who fulfilled criteria of ARDS on day 1 and day 2 of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure were categorized based on the presence of hyperoxemia (PaO2 > 100 mmHg) on day 1, sustained (i.e., present on day 1 and day 2) hyperoxemia, or excessive oxygen use (FIO2 ≥ 0.60 during hyperoxemia). Results Of 2005 patients that met the inclusion criteria, 131 (6.5%) were hypoxemic (PaO2 2 use occurred in 400 (66%) out of 607 patients with hyperoxemia. Excess FIO2 use decreased from day 1 to day 2 of ARDS, with most hyperoxemic patients on day 2 receiving relatively low FIO2. Multivariate analyses found no independent relationship between day 1 hyperoxemia, sustained hyperoxemia, or excess FIO2 use and adverse clinical outcomes. Mortality was 42% in patients with excess FIO2 use, compared to 39% in a propensity-matched sample of normoxemic (PaO2 55–100 mmHg) patients (P = 0.47). Conclusions Hyperoxemia and excess oxygen use are both prevalent in early ARDS but are most often non-sustained. No relationship was found between hyperoxemia or excessive oxygen use and patient outcome in this cohort. Trial registration LUNG-SAFE is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02010073

Abstract: BackgroundThis study aimed to develop criteria for identifying patients with acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) from Japanese administrative data and validate the pre-existing criteria.MethodsThis retrospective, multi-center validation study was conducted at eight institutes in Japan to verify the diagnostic accuracy of the disease name for AE-IPF. We used the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination data to identify patients with a disease name that could meet the diagnostic criteria for AE-IPF, who were admitted to the eight institutes from January 2016 to February 2019. As a reference standard, two respiratory physicians performed a chart review to determine whether the patients had a disease that met the diagnostic criteria for AE-IPF. Furthermore, two radiologists interpreted the chest computed tomography findings of cases considered AE-IPF and confirmed the diagnosis. We calculated the positive predictive value (PPV) for each disease name and its combination.ResultsWe included 830 patients; among them, 216 were diagnosed with AE-IPF through the chart review. We combined the groups of disease names and yielded two criteria: the criteria with the highest PPV (0.72 [95% confidence interval 0.62 to 0.81]) and that with a slightly less PPV (0.61 [0.53 to 0.68]) but more true positives. Pre-existing criteria showed a PPV of 0.40 (0.31 to 0.49).ConclusionThe criteria derived in this study for identifying AE-IPF from Japanese administrative data show a fair PPV. Although these criteria should be carefully interpreted according to the target population, our findings could be utilized in future database studies on AE-IPF.

Abstract: Background The use of baseline tumor burden (TB) as a prognostic factor for non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and associations between TB and other prognostic biomarkers remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the association between TB and survival in NSCLC patients treated with ICIs in comparison with other biomarkers. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 83 NSCLC patients with ICIs administered between February 2016 and December 2018. TB was measured as the sum of the unidimensional diameters of up to five target lesions. Results The median observation period was 14.2 months. A total of 42 patients died during the follow‐up. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that baseline TB was associated with OS. Cox regression analysis adjusted for Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) alone or with addition of programmed cell death ligand 1 expression and treatment line showed that TB was a prognostic factor for OS. Using time‐dependent receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the optimal TB cutoff for predicting OS was 12 cm, and patients were divided into a high TB group (n = 21) and a low TB group (n = 62). The low TB group achieved significantly longer OS than the high TB group (median OS: 18.5 months, [95% CI = 11.7‐not reached] vs. 2.3 months [95% CI = 1.3–2.9], P

Abstract: To elucidate the host genetic loci affecting severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection, or Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is an emerging issue in the face of the current devastating pandemic. Here, we report a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of COVID-19 in a Japanese population led by the Japan COVID-19 Task Force, as one of the initial discovery GWAS studies performed on a non-European population. Enrolling a total of 2,393 cases and 3,289 controls, we not only replicated previously reported COVID-19 risk variants (e.g., LZTFL1, FOXP4, ABO, and IFNAR2), but also found a variant on 5p35 (rs60200309-A at DOCK2) that was significantly associated with severe COVID-19 in younger (-8 (odds ratio = 2.01, 95% confidence interval = 1.58-2.55). This risk allele was prevalent in East Asians, including Japanese (minor allele frequency [MAF] = 0.097), but rarely found in Europeans. Cross-population Mendelian randomization analysis made a causal inference of a number of complex human traits on COVID-19. In particular, obesity had a significant impact on severe COVID-19. The presence of the population-specific risk allele underscores the need of non-European studies of COVID-19 host genetics.

Abstract: BackgroundIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal lung disease implicated as an independent risk factor for lung cancer. However, optimal treatment for advanced lung cancer with IPF remains to be established. We performed a randomised phase 3 trial (J-SONIC) to assess the efficacy and safety of nintedanib plus chemotherapy (experimental arm) compared with chemotherapy alone (standard-of-care arm) for advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with IPF.MethodsChemotherapy-naïve advanced NSCLC patients with IPF were allocated to receive carboplatin (area under the curve of 6 on day 1) plus nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) (100 mg·m−2on days 1, 8 and 15) every 3 weeks with or without nintedanib (150 mg twice daily, daily). The primary end-point was exacerbation-free survival (EFS).ResultsBetween May 2017 and February 2020, 243 patients were enrolled. Median EFS was 14.6 months in the nintedanib plus chemotherapy group and 11.8 months in the chemotherapy group (hazard ratio (HR) 0.89, 90% CI 0.67–1.17; p=0.24), whereas median progression-free survival was 6.2 and 5.5 months, respectively (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.50–0.92). Overall survival was improved by nintedanib in patients with nonsquamous histology (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.40–0.93) and in those at GAP (gender–age–physiology) stage I (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.38–0.98). Seven (2.9%) out of 240 patients experienced acute exacerbation during study treatment.ConclusionsThe primary end-point of the study was not met. However, carboplatin plus nab-paclitaxel was found to be effective and tolerable in advanced NSCLC patients with IPF. Moreover, nintedanib in combination with such chemotherapy improved overall survival in patients with nonsquamous histology.

Abstract: To evaluate computed tomography (CT) findings of nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) based on the current classification of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) and elucidate a characteristic of previously diagnosed NSIP excluded from the current classification. The study included 74 patients with biopsy-proven NSIP (idiopathic NSIP [I-NSIP], 39 patients; NSIP associated with connective tissue disease [CTD-NSIP], 35 patients). Among patients who were compatible with the current classification of IIPs, 29 and 21 were categorized as having current I-NSIP and current CTD-NSIP, respectively. The remaining 24 patients were categorized as having previous I-NSIP or previous CTD-NSIP due to the primary pathologic diagnosis of cellular NSIP or associated findings of acute inflammatory changes. CT findings were evaluated and compared among the four groups. Current I-NSIP was indicated by ground-glass attenuation and reticulation with traction bronchiectasis/bronchiolectasis in predominantly peribronchovascular areas of the lower lung zone. The previous I-NSIP group tended to show broader airspace consolidation than the current I-NSIP group (p = 0.068). The previous CTD-NSIP group showed significantly broader airspace consolidation than the current I-NSIP group (p = 0.035). Broad airspace consolidation is a characteristic of previously diagnosed CTD-NSIP excluded from the current classification of IIPs.

Abstract: Recent studies have suggested that an increased peripheral monocyte count predicts a poor outcome in fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD). However, the association between an increased monocyte count and acute exacerbations (AEs) of fibrosing ILD remains to be elucidated. Our retrospective cohort study aimed to assess the impact of peripheral monocyte count on AEs of fibrosing ILD. We analyzed the electronic medical records of 122 consecutive patients with fibrosing ILD and no prior history of an AE, who were treated with anti-fibrotic agents from August 2015 to December 2018. We determined their peripheral monocyte counts at anti-fibrotic agent initiation and performed univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses of time-to-first AE after anti-fibrotic agent initiation to assess the impact of monocyte count on AEs of fibrosing ILD. Twenty-six patients developed an AE during the follow-up period, and there was an increased monocyte count at anti-fibrotic agent initiation in these patients compared to those who did not develop an AE. There was also a significantly shorter time-to-first AE of fibrosing ILD in patients with a higher absolute monocyte count. Subgroup analyses indicated similar results regardless of the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis diagnoses. This association was independently significant after adjusting for the severity of the fibrosing ILD. Using our results, we developed a simple scoring system consisting of two factors—monocyte count (<>380 µL−1) and ILD-gender, age, physiology score (<>4 points). Our findings suggest that the absolute monocyte count is an independent significant risk factor for AE in patients with fibrosing ILD. Our simple scoring system may be a predictor for AEs of fibrosing ILD, although further studies are needed to verify our findings.

Abstract: We describe the treatment rationale and procedure for a randomized study (J-SONIC; University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry identification no., UMIN000026799) of carboplatin plus nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) with or without nintedanib for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The study was designed to examine the efficacy and safety of nintedanib administered with carboplatin plus nab-paclitaxel versus carboplatin plus nab-paclitaxel alone in chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced NSCLC associated with IPF. Eligible patients (enrollment target, n = 170) will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio to receive 4 cycles of carboplatin (area under the curve, 6 on day 1) plus nab-paclitaxel (100 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, and 15) administered every 3 weeks either without (arm A) or with (arm B) nintedanib (150 mg twice daily), to be followed in arm B by single-agent administration of nintedanib (150 mg twice daily). The present trial is the first randomized controlled study for the treatment of NSCLC associated with IPF. The goal of the study is to demonstrate that nintedanib combined with carboplatin plus nab-paclitaxel prolongs the interval to acute exacerbation of IPF compared with carboplatin plus nab-paclitaxel alone.

Abstract: Objectives The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has demonstrated survival benefits, although some treatment responders (defined as patients with non-progressive disease) are forced to discontinue treatment because of severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs). An association between treatment efficacy and irAEs has been reported. However, it is unclear which treatment responders are likely to develop severe irAEs. We aimed to examine risk factors for ICI-related severe irAEs in patients with NSCLC. Materials and methods Between February 2016 and October 2018, we retrospectively evaluated 42 patients with NSCLC at our institution who responded to ICI treatment. Tumor burden was measured as the sum of the unidimensional diameters of up to five target lesions, according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Results ICIs were discontinued in 15 of 42 treatment responders because of severe irAEs. Tumor burden was a significant independent predictor of severe irAEs (p = 0.03). The odds ratio of severe irAEs and tumor burden over 90 mm was 8.62 (95% confidence interval = 1.96–37.9, p = 0.004). Conclusion A high tumor burden was a risk factor for severe irAEs in patients with NSCLC who responded to ICI treatment.

Abstract: Introduction: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fibrotic disease of unknown aetiology with a poor prognosis. Several clinical trials of nintedanib in patients with IPF have reported its inhibitory effect on reduced lung function, incidence of acute exacerbation of IPF and worsened health-related quality of life. Although nintedanib has a manageable safety and tolerability profile over long-term use, it was discontinued in over 20% of patients because of adverse events such as diarrhoea and liver dysfunction. This might explain why nintedanib use in patients with IPF is not widespread, especially among patients with early-stage IPF. In the present study, we aimed to clarify the efficacy, safety and tolerability of nintedanib in patients with stage I/II IPF, based on the Japanese IPF disease severity staging classification system. Methods and analysis: This is an ongoing, prospective, multicentre observational cohort study of patients with stage I/II IPF who will start receiving nintedanib. Totally, 215 patients at 35 sites in Kyushu and Okinawa, Japan will be enrolled and followed up for 3 years. Nintedanib therapy would be initiated at the discretion of the investigator. The primary endpoint, change in forced vital capacity (FVC) at 156 weeks, will be shown as the mean change in FVC from baseline to week 156 with 95% CIs estimated using the Wald method. The safety endpoint—occurrence of adverse events—will be assessed in each system organ class/preferred term. Ethics and dissemination: The study protocol and informed consent documents were approved by the Institutional Review Board at Nagasaki University Hospital (approval number 19102146) and each participating site. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants. Patient recruitment has begun. The results will be disseminated through scientific peer-reviewed publications and national and international conferences.

Abstract: Drugs can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, there is no established clinical prediction rule for drug-associated ARDS (DARDS). We aimed to develop and validate a scoring system for DARDS prediction. We analysed data collected from a prospective, single-centre, cohort study that included ARDS patients. The ARDS diagnosis was based on the American-European Consensus Conference or Berlin definition. Drug-associated acute lung injury (DALI) was defined as previous exposure to drugs which cause ALI and presence of traditional risk factors for ALI. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT; indicating extent of lung damage with fibroproliferation), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC; indicating multiorgan failure) scores and PaO2/FiO2 were evaluated for their ability to predict DARDS. Twenty-nine of 229 patients had DARDS. The HRCT, APACHE II, and DIC scores and PaO2/FiO2 were assessed. The model-based predicted probability of DARDS fitted well with the observed data, and discrimination ability, assessed through bootstrap with an area under the receiver-operating curve, improved from 0.816 to 0.875 by adding the HRCT score. A simple clinical scoring system consisting of the APACHE II score, PaO2/FiO2, and DIC and HRCT scores can predict DARDS. This model may facilitate more appropriate clinical decision-making.

Abstract: Background and objective Here, we present real-world data on the incidence and risk factors of acute exacerbation (AE) in patients with chronic fibrotic interstitial pneumonia (CFIP) treated with antifibrotic agents, which has been previously poorly documented. Methods We retrospectively examined clinical characteristics, incidence and risk factors of AE in a cohort of 100 patients with CFIP (n = 75, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [IPF]; n = 25, other conditions), all of whom received antifibrotic agents in a real-world setting. Results The median follow-up was 17.4 months (interquartile range [IQR], 6.6 to 26.7 months). During the follow-up periods, 21 patients experienced AE after starting antifibrotic agents. The estimated 1-, 2-, and 3-year AE incidence rates were 11.4% (95% confidence interval [95%CI], 6.2–20.3%), 32% (95%CI, 20.7–47.4%), and 36.3% (95%CI 23.5–53.1%), respectively. Decreased baseline lung function (forced vital capacity and carbon monoxide diffusing capacity of the lung), existence of pulmonary hypertension estimated from an echocardiogram, higher Interstitial Lung Disease-Gender, Age, and Physiology (ILD-GAP) score, supplementary oxygen, and concomitant corticosteroid and proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) use upon starting the antifibrotic agent were risk factors of AE. Concomitant corticosteroid and PPI use and corticosteroid dose were risk factor of AE in a multivariate Cox regression hazard model adjusting for ILD-GAP score. Conclusion AE of CFIP is more common in patients with physiologically and functionally advanced disease under antifibrotic agents. Prudent use of corticosteroids and PPIs when initiating antifibrotic agents may be recommended. Further studies are warranted.

Abstract: Purpose To assess inter-observer variability in identifying traction bronchiectasis on computed tomography (CT) using additional criteria for chronic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia. Methods Seven experts categorized CT image set representing 39 patients into three groups on the basis of the presence of traction bronchiectasis, using a three-point scale: 3-definitely/probably yes; 2-possibly yes; and 1-definitely/probably no. This scale served as a reference standard. The image set included cases of chronic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia, non-interstitial lung disease, and difficult-to-determine cases. Forty-eight observers similarly assessed the same image set, first according to the Fleischner Society definition, and second with additional criteria, in which traction bronchiectasis was observed exclusively in chronic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia. The agreement level between the reference standard and each observer's evaluation in each session was calculated using weighted kappa values which were compared between the two sessions using a paired t test. Results The mean weighted kappa value for all observers was significantly higher in the second reading session (mean 0.75) than in the first reading session (mean 0.62) (p < 0.001). Conclusion Inter-observer agreement in identifying traction bronchiectasis improves when using the additional criteria which specify chronic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia as the underlying disease.

Abstract: The pathogenesis of pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE), a rare interstitial lung disease, remains unclear. Based on previous reports and our experience, we hypothesized that alveolar epithelial denudation (AED) was involved in the pathogenesis of PPFE. This multicenter retrospective study investigated the percentage of AED and the features of the denudated areas in 26 PPFE cases, 30 idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) cases, and 29 controls. PPFE patients had lower forced vital capacities and higher residual volume/total lung capacities in pulmonary function tests compared to IPF and control patients. Histopathologically, subpleural fibroelastosis was observed in PPFE, and AED was observed in 12.01% of cases in the subpleural or interlobular septa regardless of fibroelastosis. The percentage of AED in the PPFE group was significantly higher than that in the IPF group (6.84%, p = 0.03) and the normal group (1.19%, p &lt, 0.001). In the IPF group, the percentage of AED and the presence of PPFE-like lesions in the upper lobes were examined radiologically, but no correlation was found. We showed that AED frequently occurred in PPFE. AED was less frequent in IPF, which, in combination with imaging data, suggests that PPFE may have a different pathogenesis from IPF.

Abstract: Background: Although acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) reportedly shows various clinical phenotypes with different risk and prognostic factors, few studies have assessed the clinical features and prognosis of pulmonary and extrapulmonary ARDS. The aim of the present study was to investigate clinical differences between pulmonary and extrapulmonary ARDS. Methods: In total, 200 patients who met the Berlin criteria and were diagnosed with ARDS between October 2004 and September 2017 were included. We classified the patients into pulmonary and extrapulmonary ARDS groups. Both groups were assessed for 60-day mortality, duration of ventilation, and other clinical features. Results: There were 150 and 50 patients in the pulmonary and extrapulmonary ARDS groups, respectively. The two groups showed no significant differences in any assessment parameters except the serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level, which was higher in the extrapulmonary ARDS group (P=0.01). After adjustment for potentially confounding covariates, there were no significant differences in 60-day mortality (P=0.99) and the duration of ventilation (P=0.45) between the two groups. Mortality was significantly associated with the disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) score, high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) score, and serum LDH level in the pulmonary ARDS group and the DIC score and HRCT score in the extrapulmonary ARDS group. Conclusions: Pulmonary and extrapulmonary ARDS may be comparable in terms of the prognosis and duration of ventilation. DIC and HRCT scores may be common clinical predictors of mortality with ARDS.

Abstract: Pulmonary interstitial emphysema is a rare, abnormal condition in which air pressure from the alveolar airspace tears the adjacent interstitial tissues of the lung and causes the formation of cystic spaces. Pulmonary interstitial emphysema is a known indication for mechanical ventilation in premature infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, and it can be observed in various types of interstitial lung disease. Nevertheless, its pathogenesis and clinical impact remain unknown.We reviewed data from 433 cases of interstitial lung disease from an external consultation archive. Multidisciplinary diagnosis along with clinical and follow-up data, including events of air leaks such as pneumothorax and mediastinal emphysema, were obtained and compared to those of 150 control cases of interstitial lung disease without pulmonary interstitial emphysema.We found 22 (5.1%) cases of interstitial lung disease with pulmonary interstitial emphysema. The diagnoses included idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (5/22 [22.7%]), pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (4/22 [18.2%]), chronic hypersensitivity pneumonia (4/22 [18.2%]), and others (9/22 [40.9%]). Cases involving pulmonary interstitial emphysema demonstrated a significantly higher frequency of air leaks than did those without pulmonary interstitial emphysema (12/22 [54.5%] versus 23/150 [15.3%]; P 0.001; odds ratio, 6.63) and were associated with worse prognosis (P = 0.009 [log-rank]) and a lower median percent forced vital capacity (73.2% versus 84.0%; P 0.001).We found that pulmonary interstitial emphysema is an independent factor for poor prognosis, which also shows a trend to cause air leaks, including pneumothorax and mediastinal emphysema.
