Orvepitant: A study to Reduce Severe Coughing for People with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)

(IRB#: IRB_00152984)

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a condition that causes scarring of the lungs and severe coughing. Orvepitant is a study drug to reduce chronic coughing for people with IPF. Research is needed to learn the safety and effectiveness of the study drug. Our hope is to provide long-lasting control of chronic cough and a better quality-of-life. The information we gain may aid future patients.
