Summary

This study tests whether an extended-release form of nalbuphine, a pain medication, can safely reduce chronic coughing in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a lung scarring disease. About 306 adults with IPF and a cough lasting at least 8 weeks will receive either the drug or a placebo for 26 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug lowers the number of coughs per day.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
nalbuphine extended-release tablets
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new treatment option to ease chronic coughing in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, improving their quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 trial, but it's still experimental. The drug may not reduce cough significantly, and side effects like drowsiness or dizziness are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of IPF as determined by the Investigator based on American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society (ERS)/Japanese Respiratory Society (JRS)/Latin American Thoracic Society (ALAT) clinical practice guidelines. * Chronic cough for ≥8 weeks prior to Screening. * PGI-Severity Score ≥ 2 at Screening. * Forced vital capacity (FVC) ≥40 percent (%) of predicted at Screening. * Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) ≥25% of predicted during Screening or within 12 weeks prior to Screening. * Participants who are currently taking antifibrotic medication (nintedanib, pirfenidone, nerandomilast) approved for IPF should be on a stable dose for at least 6 weeks prior to the Baseline Visit. Exclusion Criteria: * Clinical diagnosis or clinical suspicion of an upper or lower respiratory tract infection in the last 8 weeks prior to the Screening visit or during Screening. * Hospitalization for any respiratory illness (including acute exacerbation of IPF) within 2 months prior to Screening.
