Summary

"This trial will look at how well and how safe axatilimab is for people with IPF."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a type of lung scarring. Participants must have an FVC (a measure of lung function) at or above 45% of the expected value, a confirmed diagnosis following specific guidelines, and recent chest scans that meet study standards. They should also have certain levels of other breathing measures within set limits.
What is being tested?
The MAXPIRe study is testing Axatilimab against a placebo to see if it's effective and safe for treating IPF. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the actual medication or a placebo in order to compare outcomes between the two groups.
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, side effects from Axatilimab could include typical drug reactions such as headaches, nausea, allergic responses, or more specific effects related to its action on the immune system which will be monitored throughout the trial.
