I will ask my pulmonologist. I suspect he might have already considered it, he seems very good to me.
I suspect the prednisone is helping a little with the inflammation. When the inflammation first started it was real bad and they used prednisone to fight it. I was in the ICU for 21 days and they went up to 1000 mg of methyl prednisolone by IV to knock it down. I have tapered down to 6 mg and I hope I don't have to ever use more.
The inflammation is caused by a toxic reaction to my immunotherapy drug - Durvalumab.

You may still be able to try the Dupiexnt. It wouldn't hurt. It has really helped me to breathe better and I have not had any exacerbations. Just ask your doctor the next time you go to see him . Sending hugs and prayers 🙏🏼
