Early test of malaria drug for deadly lung scarring disease

NCT ID NCT05988463

Summary

This is an early safety study to see if a drug called artesunate is safe and tolerable for people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a serious disease that causes progressive lung scarring. About 15 participants will take the drug orally for 12 weeks at increasing doses to find the safest amount for future testing. The main goal is to check for side effects and see how the body handles the drug, while also looking for early signs it might help with lung function or symptoms.
