Study Details

Testing Drug MTX-463 for Adults with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

(IRB#: IRB_00191647)

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is a condition that causes the lungs to scar and harden over time. This study will test a drug called MTX-463 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 receive MTX-463 or a placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not have the medication. The drug and placebo are both given through a vein in the arm. Being in the study requires attending about 9 in-person visits to the study clinic over 32 weeks. Medical tests will be done during the study to track the health of participants. People will be paid for study participation.
