Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease that may be complicated by progressive and potentially fatal interstitial pneumonia. We herein report a 64-year-old woman with interstitial pneumonia associated with HPS type 4 whom we treated with nintedanib after pirfenidone proved ineffective. To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of nintedanib being used to treat a patient with HPS type 4. There is a need for clinical trials of antifibrotic agents, including nintedanib, pirfenidone, and new therapeutic agents with different mechanisms of action in these patients.
Hermansky-Pudlak 综合征(HPS)是一种常染色体隐性遗传疾病,可能并发进行性和潜在致命性间质性肺炎。我们在此报告一例 4 型 HPS 相关间质性肺炎患者,在吡非尼酮治疗无效后,我们使用尼达尼布进行治疗。据我们所知,之前尚无报道使用尼达尼布治疗 4 型 HPS 患者。这些患者需要进行抗纤维化药物的临床试验,包括尼达尼布、吡非尼酮和具有不同作用机制的新型治疗药物。
