Abstract
Chronic cough, defined as a cough lasting > 8 weeks, is a common medical condition that exerts a substantial physical, mental, and social burden on patients. A subset of patients with chronic cough are troubled with a cough that persists despite optimal treatment of presumed associated common and uncommon conditions (refractory chronic cough; RCC) or in which no diagnosable cause for cough can be identified despite extensive assessment (unexplained chronic cough; UCC). Many of these patients exhibit clinical features of cough hypersensitivity, including laryngeal paresthesia, hypertussia, and allotussia. Over-the-counter cough remedies are ineffective and can lead to intolerable side effects when used for RCC/UCC, and the lack of approved treatments indicated for these conditions reflects a major unmet need. An increased understanding of the anatomy and neurophysiology of protective and pathologic cough has fostered a robust clinical development pipeline of several targeted therapies for RCC/UCC. This manuscript reviews the mechanisms presumed to underly RCC/UCC together with the rationale and clinical evidence for several targeted therapies currently under clinical investigation, including transient receptor potential channel antagonists, P2X3-receptor antagonists, voltage-gated sodium channel blockers, neuromodulators, and neurokinin-1-receptor antagonists. Finally, we provide an overview of targets that have been investigated in preclinical models of cough and other airway diseases that may hold future promise for clinical studies in RCC/UCC. Development of targeted therapies with different sites of action may foster a precision medicine approach to treat this heterogeneous, underserved patient population.

Abstract
In 1960s, cromolyn sodium (CS) has been introduced as the first non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug for the treatment of allergic and mast-cell driven diseases. Its applicability has been limited due to a poor bioavailability. Here we present pharmacokinetic data of a novel high concentration formulation of CS (PA101) delivered via a high-efficiency nebulizer (eFlow®) in healthy volunteers (HVs), allergic asthmatics and patients with indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM). In HVs, PA101 40 mg and 80 mg (30 L) and PA101 40 mg (40 L), IntalTM (via LC® Plus) 20 mg and Nalcrom® (oral suspension) 200 mg showed maximum measured plasma concentration (Cmax) of 156, 236, 88.6, 17.8 and 5.23 ng/mL, respectively, with respective areas under the plasma time-concentration curve (AUC) of 338, 526, 212, 40.6 and 33.3 h·ng/mL. Systemic exposure (AUC) to CS with PA101 40 mg was approximately 8-fold and 11-fold higher compared to IntalTM and Nalcrom® in HVs, respectively. PA101 via eFlow® yielded comparable PK profiles in HVs and patients. Systemic bioavailability of PA101 was approximately 25% compared to approximately 1% for Nalcrom® and approximately 10% for IntalTM, respectively. These data warrant further research on the therapeutic potential of PA101 (via eFlow®) in allergic and mast-cell driven diseases.

Abstract
Chronic cough is a common clinical condition with significant impact on quality of life and for which effective therapy remains an unmet clinical need. Over the past decade, there has been a major shift in how we approach this problem, driven by better appreciation of the clinical manifestation of chronic cough and an improved understanding of the associated neurobiology. "Cough hypersensitivity syndrome" has been proposed as a new diagnostic term for chronic cough, encompassing different phenotypes of the condition. Accumulating evidence suggests that this new concept is clinically relevant. However, while it is gaining widespread endorsement within the allergy and respiratory community, raising its profile in routine clinical practice is a priority. Thus, the present paper reviews recent progress in our understanding and management of chronic cough, with focus on mechanistic and clinical studies. It also provides detail on knowledge gaps and future research directions.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and devastating disease of unknown etiology, characterized by irreversible morphological changes, ultimately leading to lung fibrosis and death. In recent years, significant progress has been achieved in understanding the pathogenesis of IPF. Moreover, we assisted to the conceptual change of the pathogenic hypothesis that currently considers IPF as a primarily fibrotic driven disease. However, despite the undeniable progress, the diagnosis of IPF remains still very complex requiring the presence of a team of experts to achieve the highest level of diagnostic confidence. The advent of antifibrotics has radically changed the treatment landscape of IPF and new promising drugs are currently under evaluation. Furthermore, a more extensive use of non-pharmacological treatments has also to be encouraged in all patients both to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.

Abstract
Introduction: Depression is prevalent in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). The impact of depression on quality of life and its correlation with disease severity in patients with IPF has not been thoroughly evaluated on prospective studies. Patients and Methods: Between 2016 and 2017, we prospectively enrolled 101 patients (80 male, mean age (years) ± SD: 70.8 ± 8.1) with IPF (mean GAP score ± SD: 4.7 ± 1.8) without previous diagnosis of depression. Depressive symptoms were evaluated with Beck's depression inventory-II (BDI-II). Disease severity was evaluated with pulmonary function (FVC, DLCO) and exercise capacity measures. Symptom burden was assessed by cough and dyspnea scales. Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) was assessed with two questionnaires. Results: Data for analysis was available from 98 patients (97%). Forty two patients (42.9%) presented with depressive symptoms scoring≥14. A significant association between depressive symptoms and measures of: 1) disease severity: a) GAP score: r = 0.32, p = 0.007, b) DLCO: r = -0.28, p = 0.007, c) 6MWD: r = -0.39, p = 0.017, 2) symptom burden: a) cough: r = -0.57, p < 0.001, b) dyspnea (Borg: r = 0.54, p < 0.001, mMRC: r = 0.55, p < 0.001, SOBQ: r = 0.57, p < 0.001 and 3) HRQL: a) SGRQ: (Total score: r = 0.68, p < 0.001, Activity Score: r = 0.60, p < 0.001, Impact score: r = 0.68, p < 0.001, Symptoms score: r = 0.60, p < 0.001, b) K-BILD: r = -0.66, p < 0.001), was identified. There was no statistically significant difference in BDI-II (p = 0.62) and SGRQ (p = 0.64) 1 year after treatment with antifibrotics. Conclusions: Patients with IPF and severe functional impairment tend to have increased risk for depression development and poor quality of life. Further prospective studies should investigate the role of antidepressant drug therapy in patients with IPF and comorbid depression.

Abstract
Introduction: Knowledge of the pathophysiology of cough has continued to advance over recent decades. Establishing anatomic-diagnostic protocols, based on the anatomy and distribution of vagus nerve pathways regulating the cough reflex, was the first breakthrough in modern clinical medicine for chronic cough. The unmet clinical need has prompted revised thinking regarding the pathophysiology of and the clinical approach to chronic cough.Areas covered: The paradigm of cough hypersensitivity syndrome (CHS) has been recently proposed, wherein aberrant neuro-pathophysiology is a common etiology. This review covers major findings on chronic cough and cough hypersensitivity, particularly focused on recently-published studies and explores the clinical relevance and applicability of CHS based on current knowledge and discuss knowledge gaps and future research directions.Expert opinion: This paradigm has provided new opportunities in managing chronic cough and evidence is accumulating to support the validity of CHS. It also warrants the re-appraisal of existing clinical evidence and investigation of how to refine our clinical strategy. While CHS highlights the importance of clinical thinking from the viewpoint of cough, the value of anatomic-diagnostic protocols should remain. Moreover, given the considerable heterogeneity in clinical presentation, cough-associated disease conditions, and treatment responses across different patients, precise molecular endotyping remains key to making further to advancing clinical practice .

Abstract
These guidelines incorporate the recent advances in chronic cough pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment. The concept of cough hypersensitivity has allowed an umbrella term that explains the exquisite sensitivity of patients to external stimuli such a cold air, perfumes, smoke and bleach. Thus, adults with chronic cough now have a firm physical explanation for their symptoms based on vagal afferent hypersensitivity. Different treatable traits exist with cough variant asthma (CVA)/eosinophilic bronchitis responding to anti-inflammatory treatment and non-acid reflux being treated with promotility agents rather the anti-acid drugs. An alternative antitussive strategy is to reduce hypersensitivity by neuromodulation. Low-dose morphine is highly effective in a subset of patients with cough resistant to other treatments. Gabapentin and pregabalin are also advocated, but in clinical experience they are limited by adverse events. Perhaps the most promising future developments in pharmacotherapy are drugs which tackle neuronal hypersensitivity by blocking excitability of afferent nerves by inhibiting targets such as the ATP receptor (P2X3). Finally, cough suppression therapy when performed by competent practitioners can be highly effective. Children are not small adults and a pursuit of an underlying cause for cough is advocated. Thus, in toddlers, inhalation of a foreign body is common. Persistent bacterial bronchitis is a common and previously unrecognised cause of wet cough in children. Antibiotics (drug, dose and duration need to be determined) can be curative. A paediatric-specific algorithm should be used.

Abstract
Background The intensity and frequency of cough remain unclear in interstitial lung disease (ILD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the intensity and frequency of cough in idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs), connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD), and chronic hypersensitivity pneumonia (CHP), and examine their associations with clinical indices. Methods In this cross-sectional study, the intensity and frequency of cough were evaluated using a 100-mm visual analogue scale. Scores on the Leicester Cough Questionnaire, chronic dyspnoea scale, and a frequency scale for symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (FSSG) were collected. The correlations of cough intensity and frequency with potential predictor variables were tested using bivariate and multiple logistic regression analysis. Results The study included 70 patients with IIPs, 49 with CTD-ILD, and 10 with CHP. Patients with IIPs had the most severe cough intensity among the three patient groups. In patients with IIPs, both the intensity and frequency of cough were negatively associated with the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide and positively with the Composite Physiologic Index (CPI). In CTD-ILD, both the intensity and frequency of cough were correlated with a higher FSSG score. In multivariate analysis of patients with ILD, IIPs and the FSSG score were independently associated with both components of cough, and CPI tended to be independently associated with cough frequency. Finally, we examined the features of the differences between cough intensity and frequency in all patients with ILD. Patients in whom cough frequency was predominant had a greater impairment of health status relative to other patients. Conclusions Cough intensity was greater in IIPs than in other ILDs. Different clinical indices were associated with patient-reported cough intensity and frequency according to the subtype of ILD. Cough frequency was more strongly associated with health status than was cough intensity. These findings suggest that medical staff could manage patients with ILD by considering cough-related factors when assessing the intensity and frequency of cough.

Abstract
Cough is mediated by vagal afferent fibres innervating the larynx and proximal airways. Pre-clinical studies suggest that vagal C fibres produce Substance P, one of the tachykinin family of neuropeptides, which has been shown to enhance cough via the neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor and studies in animal models have also shown that NK-1 antagonists are effective at blocking induced cough. In the past, tachykinin receptor antagonists have yielded disappointing results in treating asthma and cough, however most of the activity of the agents tested was restricted to the peripheral nervous system and also the outcomes measures evaluating cough not optimal. More recently a small proof of concept study has suggest that aprepitant, an NK-1 antagonist licensed for the prevention of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting, might have beneficial effects on cough frequency in patients with lung cancer. In this review we investigate the current evidence for the anti-tussive effect of these therapies and the clinical trials in progress.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive, fibrosing interstitial lung disease, characterised by progressive scarring of the lung and associated with a high burden of disease and early death. The pathophysiological understanding, clinical diagnostics and therapy of IPF have significantly evolved in recent years. While the recent introduction of the two antifibrotic drugs pirfenidone and nintedanib led to a significant reduction in lung function decline, there is still no cure for IPF; thus, new therapeutic approaches are needed. Currently, several clinical phase I-III trials are focusing on novel therapeutic targets. Furthermore, new approaches in nonpharmacological treatments in palliative care, pulmonary rehabilitation, lung transplantation, management of comorbidities and acute exacerbations aim to improve symptom control and quality of life. Here we summarise new therapeutic attempts and potential future approaches to treat this devastating disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cough is a frequent symptom of asthma. Cough frequency (CoFr) monitoring devices are now available to objectively measure cough counts and offer a novel endpoint to assess asthma. However, little is known about CoFr in asthma. OBJECTIVE The aims were, first, to determine whether unique features of CoFr exist in asthmatic and nonasthmatic patients and, secondly, to evaluate relationships between CoFr and pathophysiological parameters of asthma. METHODS In the current study, 73 asthmatic and 63 nonasthmatic patients suffering from persistent cough were enrolled. At study entry, the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ health status), cough visual analog scale (VAS), Leicester Cough Monitor (LCM), fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) measurements, and spirometry were performed. In asthmatic patients, the bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) test was conducted if applicable. In 28 asthmatic and 17 nonasthmatic patients, LCQ, VAS, and LCM were examined before and after treatment. RESULTS CoFr during nighttime (asleep) was significantly higher in asthmatic patients than in nonasthmatic patients. Twenty-four-hour CoFr significantly decreased after appropriate treatment and was correlated with changes in VAS and LCQ in all patients. The improvement in cough in asthmatic patients was greater during nighttime than during daytime (awake). CoFr in asthmatic patients was significantly correlated with BHR, but not with FeNO. CONCLUSIONS In asthmatic patients, nocturnal CoFr can be associated with BHR, was significantly higher before treatment, but improved more after treatment compared with nonasthmatic patients. Monitoring nocturnal CoFr may provide unique and valuable information on making an early prediction of therapeutic effects in asthma.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a debilitating, progressive, and fatal fibrotic lung disease with a poor prognosis. Antifibrotic therapy slows but does not halt disease progression. Patient education and management needs change during disease progression. Management is complicated by comorbidities, adverse events associated with antifibrotic therapy, and difficulties with long-term oxygen therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation. Treating IPF requires coordination between physicians and nurses in community and interstitial lung disease center settings. This review provides guidance for the healthcare professional who manages the essential aspects of care in IPF from diagnosis, through disease progression, and to the end of life.

Abstract
Background The differential sensitivity of cough to antitussive therapies implies the existence of heterogeneity in cough hypersensitivity, but how such heterogeneity is expressed across individual patients is poorly understood. We investigated the phenotypes of cough hypersensitivity by examining transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1)- and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1)-mediated cough sensitivity in patients with chronic refractory cough. Methods Using a selective TRPA1 agonist, allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), we established an AITC cough challenge as a measure of TRPA1-mediated cough sensitivity. The AITC cough challenge and the widely used capsaicin (a selective TRPV1 agonist) cough challenge were performed with 250 patients with chronic refractory cough and 56 healthy subjects. The concentration of AITC or capsaicin solution causing at least two (C2) and five coughs (C5) was recorded. Cough sensitivity was expressed as the mean (95% confidence interval) of log C5, and cough hypersensitivity was defined as a log C5 value lower than that of healthy subjects. Results A distinct concentration–response effect of inhaled AITC was identified both in patients with chronic refractory cough and in healthy subjects. Cough sensitivity to AITC and capsaicin was significantly higher in patients than in healthy subjects (AITC: 2.42 [2.37–2.48] vs 2.72 [2.66–2.78] mM, p = 0.001; capsaicin: 1.87 [1.75–1.98] vs 2.53 [2.36–2.70] μM, p = 0.001) and was higher in females than in males for both healthy subjects and patients (all p < 0.05). Among the 234 patients who completed both challenges, 25 (10.7%) exhibited hypersensitivity to both AITC and capsaicin, 44 (18.8%) showed hypersensitivity to AITC only, 28 (11.9%) showed hypersensitivity to capsaicin only, and 137 (58.6%) exhibited hypersensitivity to neither. Those with TRPA1- and/or TRPV1-mediated hypersensitivity were predominantly female, while those without TRPA1- and TRPV1-mediated hypersensitivity were mainly male. Conclusions Four phenotypes of cough hypersensitivity were identified by the activation of TRPV1 and TRPA1 channels, which supports the existence of heterogeneity in cough pathways and provides a new direction for personalized management of chronic refractory cough.

Abstract
Background Cough is a common, disabling symptom of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which may be exacerbated by acid reflux. Inhibiting gastric acid secretion could potentially reduce cough. This study aimed to determine the feasibility of a larger, multicentre trial of omeprazole for cough in IPF, to assess safety and to quantify cough. Methods Single-centre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled pilot trial of the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) omeprazole (20 mg twice daily for 3 months) in patients with IPF. Primary objectives were to assess feasibility and acceptability of trial procedures. The primary clinical outcome was cough frequency. Results Forty-five participants were randomised (23 to omeprazole, 22 to placebo), with 40 (20 in each group) having cough monitoring before and after treatment. 280 patients were screened to yield these numbers, with barriers to discontinuing antacids the single biggest reason for non-recruitment. Recruitment averaged 1.5 participants per month. Geometric mean cough frequency at the end of treatment, adjusted for baseline, was 39.1% lower (95% CI 66.0% lower to 9.3% higher) in the omeprazole group compared with placebo. Omeprazole was well tolerated and adverse event profiles were similar in both groups, although there was a small excess of lower respiratory tract infection and a small fall in forced expiratory volume and forced vital capacity associated with omeprazole. Conclusions A large randomised controlled trial of PPIs for cough in IPF appears feasible and justified but should address barriers to randomisation and incorporate safety assessments in relation to respiratory infection and changes in lung function.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a peripheral subpleural interstitial lung disorder limited to the lung not involving the airways. It has a poor prognosis (survival less than 5 years) and commonly an interstitial pneumonia radiological pattern. Patients complain of a chronic dry cough in 80% of cases. A cough is often the first symptom of this rare disease, preceding dyspnea by years, and is associated with a poor prognosis, high dyspnea scores and low FVC percentages. The pathogenetic mechanisms leading to coughing in IPF are unclear. This review focuses on recent evidence of cough pathophysiology in this disease. Gastroesophageal reflux may promote coughing in IPF patients; bile salts and pepsin may be abundant in BAL of these patients, inducing overproduction of TGF-β by airway epithelial cells and mesenchymal transition with fibroblast recruitment/activation and extracellular matrix deposition. Patients have an enhanced cough reflex to capsaicin and substance P with respect to control subjects. Moreover, patients with the MUC5B polymorphism show more severe coughing as MUC5B encodes for the dominant mucin in the honeycomb cysts of IPF patients. Comorbidities, including asthma, gastroesophageal reflux, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema, can induce coughing in IPF patients. There is no clear explanation of the causes of coughing in IPF. Further research into the pathophysiology of IPF and the pathogenetic mechanisms of coughing is necessary to improve survival and quality of life.

Abstract
Although fibrosis is a final pathological feature of many chronic diseases, few interventions are available that specifically target the pathogenesis of fibrosis. Natural products are becoming increasingly recognized as effective therapies for fibrosis. The highlights of common cellular and molecular mechanisms of fibrosis facilitate the discovery of effective antifibrotic drugs. We describe some new profibrotic mechanisms and corresponding therapeutic targets using natural products. Interleukin, ephrin-B2, Gas6/TAM, Wnt/β-catenin, hedgehog pathway, PPARγ, lysophosphatidic acid, and CTGF are promising therapeutic targets. Natural products can target these mediators and inhibit chronic inflammation, myofibroblast activation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and extracellular matrix accumulation to alleviate fibrosis. Of note, natural products have the potential to inhibit fibrosis in one organ, simultaneously targeting fibrosis in multiple other organs, which provides us new strategies to find antifibrotic drugs.

Abstract
Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable, progressive fibrotic interstitial lung disease, suffer an impaired quality of life due to symptoms, resultant functional limitations, and the constraints of supplemental oxygen. Two antifibrotic medications, nintedanib and pirfenidone, are approved for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Both medications slow the rate of decline of lung function, but their effect on patient-reported outcomes is not yet fully understood. Nintedanib may slow the decline in health-related quality of life for treated patients. Pirfenidone may slow the progression of dyspnea and improve cough. Patients and providers should participate in shared decision-making when starting antifibrotic therapy, taking into consideration the benefits of treatment in addition to drug-related side effects and dosing schedules. Although antifibrotic therapy may have an impact on health-related quality of life, providers should also focus on comprehensive care of the patient to improve health-related outcomes. This includes a multidisciplinary evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of comorbid medical conditions, and referral to and participation in a pulmonary rehabilitation program.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic cough in interstitial lung disease (ILD) causes significant impairment in quality of life. Effective treatment approaches are needed for cough associated with ILD. METHODS This systematic review asked: Is there evidence of clinically relevant treatment effects for therapies for cough in ILD? Studies of adults aged > 18 years with a chronic cough ≥ 8 weeks' duration were included and assessed for relevance and quality. Based on the systematic review, guideline suggestions were developed and voted on by using CHEST guideline methodology. RESULTS Eight randomized controlled trials and two case series (≥ 10 patients) were included that reported data on patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, and scleroderma-related ILD who received a variety of interventions. Study quality was high in all eight randomized controlled trials. Inhaled corticosteroids were not supported for cough associated with sarcoidosis. Cyclophosphamide and mycophenolate were not supported for solely treating cough associated with scleroderma-associated ILD. A recommendation for thalidomide to treat cough associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis did not pass the panel vote. In view of the paucity of antitussive treatment options for refractory cough in ILD, the guideline panel suggested that the CHEST unexplained chronic cough guideline be followed by considering options such as the neuromodulator gabapentin and speech pathology management. Opiates were also suggested for patients with cough refractory to alternative therapies. CONCLUSIONS The evidence supporting the management of chronic cough in ILD is limited. This guideline presents suggestions for managing and treating cough on the best available evidence, but future research is clearly needed.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the most common form of fibrosing idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, is an inexorably progressive disease with a 5-year survival of ~20%. In the last decade, our understanding of disease pathobiology has increased significantly and this has inevitably impacted on the approach to treatment. Indeed, the paradigm shift from a chronic inflammatory disorder to a primarily fibrotic one coupled with a more precise disease definition and redefined diagnostic criteria have resulted in a massive increase in the number of clinical trials evaluating novel candidate drugs. Most of these trials, however, have been negative, probably because of the multitude and redundancy of cell types, growth factors and profibrotic pathways involved in disease pathogenesis. As a consequence, until recently IPF has lacked effective therapies. Finally, in 2014, two large phase 3 clinical trials have provided robust evidence that pirfenidone, a compound with anti-fibrotic, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and nintedanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with selectivity for vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor and fibroblast growth factor receptors are able to slow down functional decline and disease progression with an acceptable safety profile. While this is a major achievement, neither pirfenidone nor nintedanib cures IPF and most patients continue to experience disease progression and/or exacerbation despite treatment. Therefore, in recent years increasingly more attention has been paid to preservation of quality of life and, in the advanced phase of the disease, palliation of symptoms. Lung transplantation, the only curative treatment, remains a viable option for only a minority of highly selected patients. The unmet medical need in IPF remains high, and more efficacious and better tolerated drugs are urgently needed. However, a truly effective therapeutic approach should also address quality of life and highly prevalent concomitant conditions and complications of IPF.

Abstract
Chronic cough is a common complaint and a frequent cause of medical consultation. Its management can be difficult. We present here an overview of the current guidelines for the management of chronic cough. Different steps are detailed, including the initial research of an obvious etiology and alert signs that should lead to further investigation of underlying condition. The diagnosis of the most frequent causes: asthma, non-asthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease and upper airway cough syndrome should be considered, assessed and treated accordingly. Recent advances have been made in the comprehension of refractory chronic cough pathophysiology as well as its pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment, especially speech pathology therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic Cough (CC) is common and often associated with significant comorbidity and decreased quality of life. In up to 50% of cases, the cough is refractory despite extensive investigation and treatment trials. It is likely that the key abnormality in refractory CC is dysfunctional, hypersensitive sensory nerves, similar to conditions such as laryngeal hypersensitivity and neuropathic pain. AREAS COVERED The aim of this systematic review is to assess drug therapies for refractory CC. The authors review the current management of CC and provide discussion of the similarities between neuropathic pain and refractory CC. They review repurposed and new pharmacological treatments. Several meta-analyses were performed to compare the efficacy of treatments where possible. EXPERT OPINION Repurposed pain medications such as gabapentin and pregabalin reduce the frequency of cough and improve quality of life. Along with speech pathology, they are important and alternate treatments for refractory CC. However, more treatments are needed and the P2X3 ion channel receptor antagonists show the most promise. With a better understanding of neuronal activation and sensitisation and their signal processing in the brain, improved animal models of cough, and the use of validated cough measurement tools, more effective treatments will develop.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, fatal lung disease. In patients with IPF, cough is one of the most disabling symptoms and is an independent predictor of disease progression [1–3]. Cough in IPF is often non-responsive to antitussive therapy [4], and studies on cough are scarce and have unfortunately not yet resulted in effective treatments. Several observations suggest that pirfenidone, an anti-fibrotic drug, might decrease cough [5, 6]. We aimed to measure objectively the effect of pirfenidone on cough in patients with IPF and substantial cough. In addition, we assessed the effect of pirfenidone on subjective cough and quality of life (QoL) measures. In patients with IPF, pirfenidone reduces objective 24-h cough counts and improves subjective measures of coughhttp://ow.ly/iiGu30f7Pea

Abstract
Progressive fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are characterised by major reductions in quality of life and survival and have similarities to certain malignancies. However, palliative care expertise is conspicuously inaccessible to many patients with ILD. Unmet patient and caregiver needs include effective pharmacological and psychosocial interventions to improve quality of life throughout the disease course, sensitive advanced care planning, and timely patient-centred end-of-life care. The incorrect perception that palliative care is synonymous with end-of-life care, with no role earlier in the course of ILD, has created a culture of neglect. Interventions that aim to improve life expectancy are often prioritised without rigorous assessment of the individual's health and psychosocial needs, thereby inadvertently reducing quality of life. As in malignant disorders, radical interventions to slow disease progression and palliative measures to improve quality of life should both be prioritised. Efficient patient-centred models of palliative care must be validated, taking into account religious and cultural differences, as well as variability of resources. Effective implementation of palliative care for ILD will require multidisciplinary participation from clinicians, specialist nurses, psychologists, social workers, and, in some countries, non-governmental faith and community-based organisations with access to palliative care expertise.
