Summary

This study tests whether adding dextromethorphan to nidanib helps people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a disease that scars the lungs and makes breathing hard. About 60 adults aged 40 and older with mild to moderate lung damage will receive either the combination or a placebo. The main goal is to see if the treatment improves lung function and reduces coughing.
