Testing the Drug CAL101 for People with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

(IRB#: IRB_00189965)

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is a chronic lung disease causing thickening and scarring of lung tissue, making it difficult to breathe. This study will test a drug called CAL101 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 CAL101 or a placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not have the medication. Being in the study requires 10 study visits at the clinic over about 40 weeks. Medical tests will be done during the study to track the health of participants.
