Must not have
History of active or suspected malignancy within 5 years, evidence of active infection
Recent acute IPF exacerbation or ILD associated with other known causes
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up baseline through 12 months

Summary

This trial will test if a drug called Ifetroban can help treat lung fibrosis caused by various factors like bleomycin, genetics, or radiation. The study will look at how safe and effective

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women over 40 with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) who meet specific diagnostic criteria. They should have a certain lung function level, may be on stable doses of antifibrotic agents or treatment for pulmonary hypertension, but not have significant emphysema or recent major health events like surgery or heart disease.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety and effectiveness of oral Ifetroban in treating IPF compared to a placebo. Participants will either receive Ifetroban Sodium or an inactive substance without knowing which one they are taking to measure true effects.
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects of Ifetroban in this context aren't detailed here, common risks might include digestive issues, potential liver or kidney function changes, bleeding risks due to its effect on blood cells and vessels, as well as possible allergic reactions.
