Has anyone heard of any study groups using warfarin as a treatment for PF?

[Guest guest]

I went to my local IPF group meeting Thursday, Jan 14. They had representatives

from the University of Utah that presented the status of study groups they are

just ending with and new ones to watch for in the upcoming months. They have

two that I am looking into. One is a combined prednisone and NAC study (there

have been a couple out there) and one I have never heard of and that is

involving warfarin (that is a blood thinner, right!!). I just thought I would

ask and see if anyone had ever heard of such a thing. I am curious as to what

could possibly lead the study people into thinking that is a viable possibility

for treating PF. But then, there does not seem to be a whole heck of a lot of

options out there so...

Your thoughts please.
