    Abstract A 75‐year‐old woman was referred to our hospital because of a productive cough and an abnormal shadow on chest radiography. She was diagnosed as having metastatic lung adenocarcinoma harbouring ROS proto‐oncogene 1 (ROS1). First‐line therapy was instituted with entrectinib 600 mg daily, and a gradual decrease in serum sodium level was noticed on day 6, which deteriorated to Grade 3 hyponatremia on day 12. Despite a partial therapeutic response to entrectinib, she developed fatigue and dizziness, so the drug was withdrawn. The clinical findings and laboratory workup were compatible with a diagnosis of syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) due to entrectinib. The hyponatremia subsequently improved and entrectinib was resumed at a reduced dose of 400 mg daily, which has been continued to date, with no recurrence of SIADH

    Abstract Approximately one-third of fibrosing interstitial lung diseases exhibit progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF), a clinicopathological condition distinct yet resembling idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). PPF in ANCA-positive ILD (ANCA-ILD) is poorly documented. To clarify incidence, predictors of PPF in ANCA-ILD, and their prognostic impact, 56 patients with ANCA-ILD were followed for ≄ 1 year (April 2004 to April 2021). PPF was defined per ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT PPF 2022 guideline. We compared PPF and non-PPF in 38 patients with pulmonary function tests and ≄ 1 year follow up. ANCA-ILD (19 male, 19 female; mean age 72 years) comprised 21 patients with microscopic polyangiitis ILD (MPA-ILD) and 17 with ANCA-positive IP without systemic vasculitis (ANCA-IP). PPF occurred in 15/38 (39.5%) overall, and 27% of patients with MPA-ILD and 53% with ANCA-IP. Patient characteristics did not differ between PPF and non-PPF, however, the survival was significantly worse in patients with PPF than those with non-PPF. On multivariate regression analysis, higher age, higher serum SP-D level, and lower baseline %FVC were associated with PPF. In ANCA-ILD, 39.5% of patients demonstrated PPF, which is associated with increased mortality. Predictors of PPF were older age, higher SP-D, and lower baseline %FVC
