Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests an inhaled medication called mosliciguat in 135 people who have both lung scarring (interstitial lung disease) and high blood pressure in the lungs. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo for 16 weeks. The study measures changes in blood vessel resistance in the lungs and how far people can walk in six minutes.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new inhaled treatment to improve blood flow and exercise ability in people with lung scarring and high blood pressure in the lungs.

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 135 people, so results may not confirm benefit. The drug may cause side effects or not work better than placebo.
