NCT ID NCT07082842

First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study tests a new tablet called HEC585 for people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a disease that causes lung scarring and makes breathing hard. About 472 adults aged 40 to 80 will take either HEC585, a placebo, or an existing drug (pirfenidone) for 52 weeks. The main goal is to see if HEC585 can slow the decline in lung function better than placebo.
