Overview

This CME/CNE dinner symposium during the Congress of Clinical Rheumatology 2019 will provide clinicians with an update on the hot topic of systemic sclerosis interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) as it relates to care in rheumatology. The expert faculty will review pathophysiology and recent treatment guidelines for accurate detection and diagnosis of SSc-ILD. New clinical trial data of SSc-ILD therapeutics will be analyzed, debating the clinical relevance in the rheumatology treatment landscape. Best practices for optimally managing patients with SSc-ILD and other comorbidities, particularly adverse events, will be highlighted. This CME/CNE activity will provide clinicians with practical information for improving care of systemic sclerosis interstitial lung disease patients.
