Moderne medikamentöse Therapie der interstitiellen Lungenerkrankung bei systemischer Sklerose

Zusammenfassung

Die systemische Sklerose mit interstitieller Lungenerkrankung (SSc-ILD) ist mit einem erhöhten Morbiditäts- und Mortalitätsrisiko verknüpft. Da es an zugelassenen Medikamenten mangelt, die den Krankheitsverlauf einer SSc-ILD effektiv beeinflussen, besteht ein hoher Bedarf an neuen Therapieoptionen. Die Behandlung mit immunmodulierenden Therapien sowie der autologen Stammzelltransplantation wird in klinischen Studien aktuell weiter untersucht. Kürzlich belegte zudem eine Phase-III-Studie die positive Wirkung des antifibrotischen Wirkstoffs Nintedanib auf den Verlust an Lungenvolumen und somit die Krankheitsprogression bei Patienten mit SSc-ILD. Eine Kombinationstherapie aus Nintedanib und Mycophenolat könnte basierend auf synergistischen Wirkprinzipien zukünftig einen ergänzenden Behandlungsansatz der SSc-ILD darstellen.

Abstract

Systemic Sclerosis with Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD) is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Because of a lack of approved medications that can effectively influence SSc-ILD disease course, there is a need for new therapeutic options. Treatment with immunomodulatory therapies as well as with autologous stem cell transplant is being further investigated in current clinical studies. Recently, a phase III study demonstrated the positive effect of the antifibrotic agent nintedanib on the loss of lung volume and thus disease progression in patients with SSc-ILD. Due to its synergistic mechanism of action, combination therapy with nintedanib and mycophenolate could be a complementary treatment approach for SSc-ILD in the future.
