Abnormal acid gastroesophageal reflux is common in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and is considered a risk factor for its development. Retrospective studies have suggested improved outcomes in patients treated with anti-acid therapy. The aim of this study was to determine the association between anti-acid therapy and disease progression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Patients with IPF were identified from the placebo arms of the three IPFnet randomized clinical trials. Case report forms were designed to prospectively capture data regarding gastroesophageal reflux diagnosis and treatment. These data were analyzed to determine the relationship between use of anti-acid therapy (i.e. proton pump inhibitors and histamine-2 blockers) and change in forced vital capacity using a longitudinal repeated-measures model. Secondary outcomes analyzed included acute exacerbation, all-cause hospitalization, and all-cause mortality. Two hundred and forty-two patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis were randomized to receive placebo therapy. Fifty-one percent were taking anti-acid therapy upon enrollment. There were no significant differences in demographics and pulmonary physiology between patients taking and not taking anti-acid therapy. After adjustment for sex, baseline forced vital capacity %predicted, and baseline diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide %predicted, patients taking anti-acid therapy at baseline had a slower decline in forced vital capacity (estimated change over 30-weeks of -0.06 liters vs. -0.12 liters, p-value = 0.05). Patients taking anti-acid therapy at baseline had fewer acute exacerbations (no events versus nine events, p-value <0.01) during the study period. The use of anti-acid therapy was associated with a slower decline in forced vital capacity over time and fewer acute exacerbations in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. These findings support the hypothesis that abnormal acid gastroesophageal reflux contributes to disease progression and suggest that anti-acid therapy may be beneficial in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
