Pirfenidone is an antifibrotic drug used for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of pirfenidone in patients with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). Twenty-three patients with chronic HP treated with pirfenidone were enrolled in this study based on a retrospective medical record review. The change in vital capacity (VC) in the 6 months after the start of treatment (-152±56.1 ml) was significantly improved compared with that in the 6 months before treatment (-292±77.8 ml, p=0.047). No patients discontinued the treatment with adverse events. These results demonstrate that pirfenidone may reduce the decline of VC in patients with chronic HP without eliciting significant adverse events. .
吡非尼酮是一种用于治疗特发性肺纤维化的抗纤维化药物。本研究的目的是评估吡非尼酮对慢性过敏性肺炎(HP)患者的疗效。基于回顾性病历审查,23例接受吡非尼酮治疗的慢性HP患者被纳入本研究。治疗开始后6个月时的肺活量(VC)变化(-152±56.1 ml)与治疗前6个月相比(-292±77.8 ml,p = 0.047)有显著改善。没有患者因不良事件而停止治疗。这些结果表明,吡非尼酮可能会减少慢性HP患者VC的下降,且不会引发明显的不良事件。
