CHICAGO, Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF) will present its biennial PFF Summit 2023 from Nov. 9-11 in Orlando, Fla. The three-day international conference, focused on pulmonary fibrosis (PF) and interstitial lung disease (ILD) research and education, will be held at the JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes. The PFF Summit welcomes patients, caregivers, healthcare providers and researchers to discuss the latest information on treatment options and how to live well with PF and ILD.

"We are eager to connect patients with one another and with physicians and researchers at the PFF Summit 2023," said Dr. Franck Rahaghi, President, CEO and CMO of the PFF. "Our focus on innovation and care in the PF space presents many opportunities to learn about hopeful advances in areas ranging from clinical trials to advocacy."

Dr. Banu Karimi-Shah, Deputy Director of the Division of Pulmonology, Allergy and Critical Care in the Office of New Drugs at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is the keynote speaker for the plenary session, "It takes a Village: The Critical Role of Federal Agencies in PF Research and Care," on Friday, Nov. 10. Dr. Karimi-Shah will highlight regulatory considerations in drug development for pulmonary fibrosis, key safety considerations for PF programs, and the importance of the patient experience and the need for targeted evaluations of how a patient feels and functions.

Dr. D. Clark Files, a pulmonary and critical care trained physician-scientist from Wake Forest University School of Medicine will deliver the keynote address on Saturday, Nov. 11, in the plenary session, "Clinical Trials: Accelerating Finding a Cure."

The PFF Summit 2023 features sessions tailored to each group's experience with PF. Sessions for patients and caregivers feature topics such as understanding the difference between palliative and hospice care, the future of clinical trials, using supplemental oxygen and building resilience.
