Cancer drug trial offers hope to halt deadly lung scarring

NCT ID NCT05515627

Summary

This early-stage study is testing whether atezolizumab, a drug approved for cancer, is safe and might help people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a serious lung-scarring disease. It will involve about 24 adults aged 50-80 with IPF who can continue their standard medications. The main goal is to check for side effects, while also seeing if the drug can slow the disease by measuring lung function and scarring over 28 weeks.
