ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07679893
What this study is testing
What is Nintedanib Dry Powder Inhalation?
This is an investigational inhaled powder medicine being studied as a potential treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. It is designed to slow the growth of scar tissue in the lungs by blocking specific signals that cause cells to multiply.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This study checks if the inhaled medicine is safe and if it helps improve lung function in people with IPF.
- Who it's for
- Adults who have been diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
- What's involved
- Participants will breathe in a dry powder medicine or a placebo twice a day for 12 weeks, then continue with the active medicine for another 24 weeks.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts about 36 weeks and requires regular visits to check lung function and safety.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
