Congratulations to the Norwich Medical School team for recruiting the 300th patient to the EME-TIPAC trial on treating pulmonary fibrosis with co-trimoxazole (an antibiotic). Norwich Clinical Trial Unit is coordinating the nationwide trial, which is taking place at 43 centres across the UK. The study aims to discover whether taking co-trimoxazole, alongside other treatments, improves life expectancy and reduces the chances of IPF patients being admitted to hospital.
