1 PULMONARY HYPERTENSION IN INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE STEVE NATHAN, MD DIRECTOR OF THE ADVANCED LUNG DISEASE PROGRAM INOVA FAIRFAX HOSPITAL FALLS CHURCH, VA Steven D. Nathan, MD, is the Director of the Advanced Lung Disease Program and Medical Director of the lung transplant program at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Virginia. He also is Professor of medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University, Inova Fairfax Campus. Dr. Nathan received his medical degree at the University of the Witwatersrand Medical School in Johannesburg, South Africa, and he completed his internship in internal medicine and general surgery at the Johannesburg Hospital. Dr. Nathan performed his internal medicine residency at Long Island Jewish Hospital in New York City, and completed his fellowships in pulmonary medicine, critical care, and lung transplantation at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. He is board certified in internal medicine, pulmonary diseases, and critical care medicine. Dr. Nathan has authored more than 380 publications, including original research manuscripts, abstracts, reviews and book chapters. He has also co-edited and authored two books on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Dr. Nathan is a reviewer for multiple journals and is on the editorial board for the journal, Thorax. He has served on multiple committees, including the US Food and Drug Administration advisory boards as well as steering committees for clinical trials in IPF and pulmonary hypertension, where he has also served as chair. Dr. Nathan is a member of several professional medical associations, including the American Thoracic Society, the American College of Chest Physicians, and the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation. He has delivered talks and been chairperson of numerous sessions at many national and international conferences. OBJECTIVES: Participants should be better able to: 1. Gain knowledge about the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) complicating interstitial lung disease (ILD); 2. Appreciate the functional and prognostic implications of PH complicating ILD; 3. Develop an appreciation for indicators of underlying PH in patients with ILD; 4. Understand the potential and pitfalls of pulmonary vasoactive therapies targeting the PH of ILD. SATURDAY, MARCH 25, :00 AM

2 DISCLOSURE Dr. Nathan has received grant/research support from Boehringer Ingelheim, Bayer, Roche, and United Therapeutics; serves as a consultant for Boehringer Ingelheim, Bayer, Gilead, Roche, United Therapeutics, and Bellepharon and serves on the speakers bureau at Boehringer Ingelheim, Roche, Bayer, and Gilead, but these do not create conflicts related to his presentation.

AE s What we think we know The etiology How to diagnose PH What we don t know Is PH the driver of outcomes or a surrogate of other badness? What is disproportionate PH? Is PH adaptive or maladaptive? What we don t know, but shouldn t be too scared to ask Should we treat PH? Does it affect functional status? Survival? More harm than good? PH IN ILD: TREATMENT 14

33 Are there patients who can or should be considered for off-label PAH therapy? Unable to endorse Caveat: there are patients with hemodynamics=pah. -?group 1 PAH with comorbid DPLD The option to treat such cases can be difficult to ignore in the clinical trenches, even with a lack of supportive RCT evidence. Is this where clinical judgment and the art of medicine trump the paradigm of only practicing within the constraints of evidence-based medicine? If treatment is to be considered Pulmonary Hypertension Centers with expertise in this area, First priority populate any available clinical trials. LESSONS FROM RISE-IIP More questions than answers Should we treat complicating PH? Adaptive vs. maladaptive Compound-specific vs. concept-specific Why were these patients apparently harmed? What of V/Q mismatch What of hypotension? What of other drug AE s? Should we study IIP/ILD together? Should we do more studies? 32
