Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) is common in patients with RA and leads to significant morbidity and mortality. No randomized, placebo-controlled data are available that support the role of immunosuppression to treat RA-associated ILD, despite being widely used in clinical practice. How does immunosuppression impact pulmonary function trajectory in a multisite retrospective cohort of patients with RA-associated ILD? Patients with RA who started treatment for ILD with mycophenolate, azathioprine, or rituximab were identified retrospectively from five ILD centers. Change in lung function before and after treatment was analyzed using a linear spline mixed-effect model with random intercept. Prespecified secondary analyses examined the impact of radiologic pattern of ILD (ie, usual interstitial pneumonia UIP vs non-UIP) on treatment trajectory. Two hundred twelve patients were included in the analysis: 92 patients (43.4%) were treated with azathioprine, 77 patients (36.3%) were treated with mycophenolate mofetil, and 43 patients (20.3%) were treated with rituximab. In the combined analysis of all three agents, an improvement in FVC % predicted was found after 12 months of treatment compared with the potential 12-month response without treatment (+3.90%; P ≤ .001; 95% CI, 1.95-5.84). Diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (Dlco) % predicted also improved at 12 months (+4.53%; P ≤ .001; 95% CI, 2.12-6.94). Neither the UIP pattern of ILD nor choice of immunosuppressive agent significantly impacted the pulmonary function trajectory on immunosuppression. Immunosuppression was associated with an improved trajectory in FVC and Dlco compared with the pretreatment pulmonary function trajectory. Prospective, randomized trials are required to validate these findings.
