NCT ID NCT05288179

Summary

This study is testing whether pirfenidone capsules can help slow the progression of lung scarring in people with pneumoconiosis, a serious lung disease often caused by inhaling dust at work. The trial will involve 272 patients who will take either the drug or a placebo for 52 weeks to see if it helps preserve their lung function. The main goal is to confirm if the treatment is effective and safe for managing this chronic condition.
