Lung fibrosis drug study halted early
NCT ID NCT05497284
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested new single treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a lung disease that causes scarring and makes breathing hard. It included 46 adults aged 40 and older with mild to moderate IPF. The main goal was to see if the treatments improved lung function, measured by how much air they could exhale. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
