Panel Discussion: Rethinking IPF Drug Development: Learning from the Past & Defining the Future of Target Discovery

  • Assessing past and present targets, what has the field learned from antifibrotic failures, and is there still potential in pathways like TGF-β?
  • Exploring emerging therapeutic strategies from repair and regeneration to RNA-based therapies, cell and gene therapy, and immunomodulation
  • Identifying unmet opportunities by exploring what mechanisms remain underexplored, where should research efforts be focused next to drive meaningful progress?
