 PROMOTER/PI

 Giacomo Emmi, University of Trieste, Italy

 AIM

  •   To investigate the pattern of use of different treatments (immunosuppressants, anti-fibrotics or their combination) in patients with MPO-associated ILD
  • To investigate the effectiveness of immunosuppressants (+/- anti-fibrotic agents) vs anti-fibrotic agents in patients with MPO-associated ILD.
  • To assess the rate of acute exacerbations following remission during treatment with immunosuppressants (+/- anti-fibrotic agents) vs anti-fibrotic agents;
  • To assess the occurrence of AAV during treatment with immunosuppressants (+/- anti-fibrotic agents) vs anti-fibrotic agents;
  • To assess potential differences in term of prognosis (hospitalization, death) in patients receiving immunosuppressants (+/- anti-fibrotic agents) vs anti-fibrotic agents;
  • To assess the safety of the treatment with immunosuppressants (+/- anti-fibrotic agents) vs anti-fibrotic agents
