First human test for new lung scarring drug begins

NCT ID NCT04540770

Summary

This was the first study in humans to test the safety of an experimental drug called HuL001 for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a serious disease that causes permanent lung scarring. The study first gave single doses to 12 healthy volunteers to check for side effects, then gave multiple doses to 6 people with IPF. The main goal was to see how safe the drug was and how the body processed it, not to test how well it treated the disease.
