Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of the EvER-ILD2 study is to evaluate the efficacy on lung function at 6 months of one course rituximab (2 infusions) comparatively to one course of placebo (2 infusions) in a broad range of progressive ILD patients with inflammatory component.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

3. worsening of respiratory symptoms AND an increased extent of ILD on high-resolution CT
3. AND presence of an inflammatory component defined by

1. a previous histological pattern with lymphocyte infiltrations distant from pulmonary fibrosis to suggest an inflammatory component on pulmonary sample (for example: interstitial lymphoid aggregates with germinal centers, diffuse lympho-plasmocytic infiltrations, granulomas, giant cells or centrilobular inflammation…)
2. OR a previous alveolar lymphocytosis \>20% on Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF)
