PILOT: Background • PILOT (Pulmonary Fibrosis Identification: Lessons for Optimizing • • • Treatment) is a national education initiative driven by The France Foundation, an ACCME-accredited provider Education focuses on the early and accurate diagnosis of IPF, while also addressing critical issues related to optimizing disease intervention and management Led by experts in the IPF field, PILOT has attained a level of recognition and credibility across practitioner and patient communities that places it as one of the primary sources for timely and innovative education on IPF In the 10+ years since its launch, PILOT has had over 13 million hits to its educational Web site, www. PILOTfor. IPF. org.
PILOT: Steering Committee
Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF) A Collaborator in this Regional Activity The PFF was founded in 2000 by brothers Albert Rose and Michael Rosenzweig, Ph. D after the brothers experienced firsthand the devastating effects of PF when their sister Claire passed away from the disease. Both brothers were also diagnosed with PF, and it was their vision and dedication that led to the creation of the Foundation. The mission of the PFF is to serve as the trusted resource for the pulmonary fibrosis community by raising awareness, providing disease education, and funding research.
Learning Objectives: Non-Pharmacologic Management • Formulate an education and disease management plan with patients that • • accounts for therapeutic options, patient preferences, and treatment goals Identify opportunities for referral to specialized care as part of the multidisciplinary IPF management plan Describe common comorbidities of IPF and their management

Lung Transplantation for IPF: 2014 Referral Guidelines • Histopathologic or radiographic evidence of usual interstitial pneumonitis (UIP) • Abnormal lung function: FVC < 80% predicted or DLCO < 40% predicted • Any dyspnea or functional limitation attributable to lung disease • Any oxygen requirement, even if only during exertion Weill D, et al. J Heart Lung Transplant. 2015; 34(1): 1 -15.
Timing of Listing for Lung Transplantation • 10% or greater drop in FVC during 6 months of follow- up (note: even a 5% drop is associated with a poorer prognosis and may warrant listing) • 15% or greater drop in DLCO during 6 months of follow- up • Desaturation to < 88% or distance < 250 m on 6 MWT, or > 50 m decline in 6 MWD over a six month period • Pulmonary hypertension on right heart catheterization or 2 D echo • Hospitalization due to respiratory decline, pneumothorax, or acute exacerbation Weill D, et al. J Heart Lung Transplant. 2015; 34(1): 1 -15.
Oxygen Therapy • Goal: Maintain Sp. O 2 > 89% – Rest, activity, sleep • Give patients control over their disease • Make sure patients are using O 2 correctly • Regular assessment – Nocturnal oximetry (yearly or with change in status) – Exercise oximetry (Q 3 months) • Special requirements for air travel (TSA)

Patient Communication: Provider Perspective • Discuss disease course, monitoring, therapy options, end–of–life issues – Use tools appropriate to patient • Share next steps – – ILD center referral, if appropriate Consideration of IPF therapy Comorbidity management Lung transplantation evaluation
Patient Communication: Patient Perspective • Give patients a role in their management – Share ILD checklist – Provide information resources – Specific patient actions (rehab, exercise, risk factor reduction, oxygen, etc) – Encourage seeking help from family or support group • Help patients sustain activities of daily life – PR and OT consultations – Palliative care consultation • Individualize care for patient circumstances
Support Groups • Education – From the facilitator/guest speaker – From others in the group • Support – Reduces isolation – Builds community – Shared coping practices • Goal directed activity – Gets patients out of the house • Not for everyone
Risk Factor Reduction • • • Smoking cessation Weight management Sleep study Exercise training/pulmonary rehabilation Screen for and address comorbidities – – GERD OSA Heart disease (diastolic dysfunction/PH/CAD) Thromboembolic disease
Tertiary ILD Center Interaction • • • Diagnosis support Non-pharmacologic support Patient support groups Clinical trials

Non-Pharmacologic Management Conclusions • Care of patients with IPF has to be comprehensive – Multidisciplinary expertise (ILD center) – Screening for comorbidities – Management of comorbidities • Drugs are only one component of IPF care • Pulmonary rehab and supplemental oxygen are important adjuncts which can improve QOL • Early referral for lung transplant consideration is prudent
