Clinical Trials

Drug, biologic and supplement trials (treatment or prevention) from ClinicalTrials.gov whose main condition is Interstitial Lung Disease / Pulmonary Fibrosis: recruiting, active or completed, most recently updated first. Data retrieved 2026-10-28.

NCT07201922 Phase: 3 Started: 2026-02-10

This study is open to people aged 40 years or older who have at least 1 family member with pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition where lung tissue becomes scarred, making it harder to breathe. People can join if a lung scan shows early changes in the lung, called interstitial lung ab...

NCT06806592 Phase: 3 Started: 2025-09-13

Adults 18 years of age and older or above legal age with lung fibrosis related to systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease can participate in this study. People can only take part if they show no improvement in lung function after standard treatment with immunosuppressant medicine. The main purpose of ...

NCT06238622 Phase: 3 Started: 2024-09-26

This study is open to people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). They can only take part if they have completed treatment in a previous study with a medicine called nerandomilast or BI 1015550. The goal of this study is to find out how well people with p...

NCT07036523 Phase: 2 Started: 2025-11-13

This study is open to adults who are at least 40 years old and have idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). People can participate in the study if they have a forced vital capacity (FVC) greater than or equal to 45% of the predicted value and fibrosis of 20% or more confirmed by a high-resolution compu...

NCT07284459 Phase: 2 Started: 2026-01-08

This is a Ph 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled global multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of PIPE-791 in participants with a diagnosis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) with or without background treatment.

NCT07284602 Phase: 3 Started: 2026-06-26

This is a study for adults with a lung disease called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The main purpose of this study is to look at how well deupirfenidone improves lung function and how safe it is for people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) when compared with pirfenidone. Participants may hav...

NCT06329401 Phase: 2 Started: 2024-04-03

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 doses of inhaled pirfenidone (AP01) versus placebo on top of standard of care in participants with PPF over 52 weeks.

NCT06914713 Phase: N/A Started: 2025-09-08

This study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Jin-shui Huan-xian Formula in retarding the decline of pulmonary function in IPF, generate high - quality clinical evidence, and establish a treatment plan of Jin-shui Huan-xian Formula for retarding the decline of pulmonary function in I...

NCT06968845 Phase: 2 Started: 2026-02-02

Rationale: LTI-03 is an experimental medication breathed into the lungs using an inhaler. It is being studied for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). IPF is a progressive, fatal lung disease caused by the death of lung cells involved in oxygen uptake and by progressive fibrosis (sc...

NCT07516951 Phase: 2 Started: 2026-07-08

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability at Week 24 of 2 doses of CHF10067 (zampilimab) in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It is a phase IIb, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-arm parallel-group study. A tot...

NCT07869147 Phase: 2 Started: 2026-10

ORJ-001 is a new class of drugs intended for the treatment of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This is a Phase 2 study in two parts; the objective of Part A will determine if ORJ-001 is well-tolerated by patients and how long the drug stays in the body. Part B will test how well th...

NCT06967805 Phase: 2 Started: 2025-05-05

A Phase 2a, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety and Efficacy of MTX-463 in Participants with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)

NCT05255991 Phase: 3 Started: 2022-09-12

Study RIN-PF-303 is a multinational study designed to evaluate the superiority of inhaled treprostinil against placebo for the change in absolute forced vital capacity (FVC) from baseline to Week 52.

NCT07194382 Phase: 2 Started: 2026-03-10

This study will evaluate the impact Nintedanib Solution for Inhalation (AP02) has on lung function and key measures of fibrosis in adult patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) as well as assess its safety and tolerability. Adults 40 years of age or older with IPF who meet the inclusion an...

NCT07671911 Phase: 3 Started: 2026-06-29

The primary purpose is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NAL ER for the treatment of chronic cough in participants with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).


Agents Found By Disease-Level Search

Searched directly from “Interstitial Lung Disease / Pulmonary Fibrosis” via ClinicalTrials.gov interventions and Open Targets' disease→drug data — independent of the 7-gene target panel above. This surfaces agents whose mechanism doesn't route through a curated gene (combination therapies, standard-of-care drugs, targets outside the panel).
