ABSTRACT
Connective tissue disease associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) is a heterogenous collection of conditions with a diverse spectrum of interstitial lung disease (ILD) manifestations. Currently, clinical practice of lung-directed immunosuppression in CTD-ILD is supported by several randomized, placebo-controlled trials (RCTs) in patients with scleroderma and several observational, retrospective studies in other autoimmune conditions. However, given the harm of immunosuppression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, there is an urgent need for RCTs of immunosuppression and antifibrotic agents in fibrotic CTD-ILD populations as well as the study of intervention in patients with subclinical CTD-ILD.
