Summary

This study tests a new drug, deupirfenidone, against the current standard treatment pirfenidone for people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a lung disease that gets worse over time. About 1,100 adults will take one of the two drugs three times a day for up to three years, and neither they nor their doctors will know which one they are getting. The main goal is to see if deupirfenidone slows the decline in lung function better than pirfenidone. Participants cannot be on other IPF treatments during the study.
