New pill aims to slow lung scarring in IPF patients
NCT ID NCT07284459
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests an oral drug called PIPE-791 in 324 adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a disease that scars the lungs and makes breathing hard. Participants take either a low or high dose of PIPE-791 or a placebo daily for several months. The main goal is to see if the drug can slow the decline in lung function measured by forced vital capacity (FVC).
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PIPE-791 (oral tablet)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new daily treatment to slow lung damage and help people with IPF breathe easier.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial with 324 people, so results are not final. The drug may not improve lung function or could cause side effects.
