New lung drug ENV-101 put through safety checks in healthy volunteers
NCT ID NCT07454291
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage study tests how a new drug called ENV-101 (taladegib) interacts with two standard medicines for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF): nintedanib and pirfenidone. About 57 healthy adults will take ENV-101 alone and with these drugs to measure how the body absorbs and processes them. The goal is to gather safety and drug-level data, not to treat IPF.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- taladegib (ENV-101)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors understand how to safely combine ENV-101 with existing IPF treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase study in healthy people, not patients. It only measures drug levels and interactions, not whether ENV-101 works for IPF.
