First seen Jan 25, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tested an experimental drug called MN-001 in 15 people with moderate to severe idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a disease that causes lung scarring and breathing problems. For 6 months, some participants received the drug and others received a placebo (a dummy pill) to see if MN-001 could slow the decline in lung function. The goal was to measure changes in forced vital capacity (FVC), a key measure of lung health.
