BACKGROUND: Following recent approval of pirfenidone and nintedanib for
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), questions arise about the use of these
antifibrotics in patients awaiting lung transplantation (LTx). METHODS: Safety
and efficacy of antifibrotic drugs in IPF patients undergoing LTx were
investigated in a single-centre retrospective cohort analysis. RESULTS: A total
of nine patients, receiving antifibrotic therapy for 419?±?315 days until
subsequent LTx, were included. No major side effects were noted. Significant
weight loss occurred during antifibrotic treatment (p?=?0.0062). FVC tended to
stabilize after 12 weeks of treatment in most patients. A moderate decline in
FVC, TLC and DLCO was noted during the whole pretransplant time period of
antifibrotic therapy. Functional exercise capacity and lung allocation score
remained unchanged. No post-operative thoracic wound healing problems, nor severe
early anastomotic airway complications were attributable to prior antifibrotic
treatment. None of the patients developed chronic lung allograft dysfunction
after a median follow-up of 19.8 (11.2-26.5) months; and post-transplant survival
was 100% after 1 year and 80% after 2 years. CONCLUSIONS: Antifibrotic drugs can
probably be safely administered in IPF patients, possibly attenuating disease
progression over time, while awaiting LTx.
