First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026

Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called HEC585 in people with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease, a condition where lung tissue becomes scarred and breathing gets worse over time. About 110 adults will receive either a low dose, high dose, or a placebo for at least 24 weeks, with an option to continue up to 96 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug can slow the decline in lung function compared to a placebo.
