New hope for lung scarring: AZD8965 enters Mid-Stage trial

NCT ID NCT07652658

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase IIb study tests three doses of AZD8965 against a placebo in 359 adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a lung-scarring disease. The main goal is to see if AZD8965 can slow the decline in lung function over 24 weeks. Participants may also be taking standard IPF medications.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

AZD8965

What this could lead to

If successful, AZD8965 could become a new treatment option to slow lung function decline in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

What could go wrong

This is a mid-stage trial with 359 participants, so results may not confirm benefit. The drug may cause side effects or fail to improve lung function compared to placebo.
