Can an inhaled powder stop lung scarring? a safety trial begins

NCT ID NCT07719218

First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 1 trial tests whether an inhaled experimental drug called ICF004 is safe and how the body processes it. Healthy Chinese adults aged 18 to 50 will breathe in either a single or multiple doses of ICF004 or a placebo via a dry powder inhaler. The study aims to identify any side effects and measure drug levels in the blood. ICF004 is being developed as a potential future treatment for progressive lung scarring (interstitial lung disease).
