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 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.
