Minimum clinically important difference in Quantitative Lung Fibrosis score associated with all-cause mortality in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: subanalysis from two phase II tria... by Matthew S Brown, Jonathan Goldin, Grace Hyun Kim, Xueping Zhang, Lona Poole

“…This study aimed to assess the change in QLF score associated with a minimum clinically important difference (MCID) of IPF symptoms and physiological lung function, and also determine the MCID of QLF change associated with all-cause mortality to serve as an imaging biomarker to confirm disease progression and response to therapy.Design and study setting We conducted post hoc analyses of prospective data from two IPF phase II studies of pamrevlumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to and inhibits connective tissue growth factor activity.Participants Overall, 152 patients with follow-up visits after week 24.Methods We used the anchor-based Jaeschke’s method to estimate the MCID of the QLF score that corresponded with the already established MCID of St. …”
