Testing a Study Drug Bexotegrast for People with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
(IRB#: IRB_00171454)
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is a disease that causes the lungs to scar and harden. This study will test a drug called Bexotegrast to treat people with this disease. The study wants to see if the drug will help people with the disease and is safe. People in the study will be randomly chosen to be treated with Bexotegrast 160 mg, or Bexotegrast 320 mg, or placebo. The placebo looks like the study drug but does not have the medication. Being in the study requires 8 in-person visits at the study clinic over about 58 weeks. Medical tests will be done to track the health of participants.
