Phase 2 trial design of BMS-986278, a lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPA1) antagonist, in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive fibrotic interstitial... by Jeffrey J Swigris, Toby M Maher, Tamera J Corte, Aryeh Fischer, Hong Xiao, Lisa Lancaster, Takafumi Suda, Xiaojiang Zhan, Jonathan G Goldin, Scott M Palmer, Hideaki Watanabe, Takashi Ogura, Anne Minnich, Giridhar S Tirucherai, Brandon Elpers, R Adam Smith, Edgar D Charles

“…Introduction Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and non-IPF, progressive fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (PF-ILD), are associated with a progressive loss of lung function and a poor prognosis. Treatment with antifibrotic agents can slow, but not halt, disease progression, and treatment discontinuation because of adverse events is common. …”

Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors are associated with renal stabilization in heart transplantation by Lisa M. Raven, MBBS, FRACP, Jerry R. Greenfield, MBBS (Hons 1), PhD, FRACP, Andrew Jabbour, BSc (Med), MBBS (Hons), PhD, FRACP, Peter S. Macdonald, MBBS, MD, PhD, FRACP, Christopher A. Muir, MBBS (Hons), FRACP, PhD

“…Heart transplant (HTx) recipients are at increased risk of diabetes and CKD, and both are independently associated with increased mortality. In a retrospective analysis of 104 HTx recipients with diabetes (23 exposed to SGLT2i, 81 not exposed), SGLT2i treatment was associated with stable renal function at 3 years post-HTx, measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate change from baseline (median change of 0 ml/min/1.73 m2 (interquartile range [IQR] −13 to +11)), compared to a change of −15 ml/min/1.73 m2 (IQR −27 to +1) in patients not exposed to SGLT2i (p = 0.02). …”
