Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Ifetroban prevents and treats lung fibrosis due to multiple causes (bleomycin, genetic, radiation). The safety and efficacy of oral ifetroban will be assessed in patients with IPF.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, phase II study to determine the safety and efficacy of oral ifetroban compared to placebo in subjects with IPF. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will receive oral ifetroban or placebo once daily for 12 months. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two oral treatment groups: ifetroban or placebo and block randomized by background therapy. All subjects who receive treatment will be assessed for safety. All subjects with at least one efficacy assessment post-baseline will be evaluated for efficacy. Blood and urine will be collected for standard and novel PPF biomarkers.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Male or female age 40 years or older
2. IPF Diagnosis:

1. Satisfying the 2022 American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society /Japanese Respiratory Society/Latin American Thoracic Association (ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT) diagnostic criteria (Raghu 2022) confirmed by the investigator
2. UIP or probable UIP based on chest HRCT obtained within 2 months of Day 0, or historical lung biopsy consistent with UIP.
3. If receiving antifibrotic agents pirfenidone or nintedanib, patients must be receiving a stable dose for ≥ 2 months prior to Day 0 and planning to stay on stable background therapy; if not receiving pirfenidone or nintedanib, patients must be naive to both drugs or not have received either for at least 4 weeks prior to Day 0 and remain off background therapy with no intention to start or re-start (combination of nintedanib and pirfenidone not allowed).
4. If receiving monotherapy for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension (e.g. phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors, endothelin receptor antagonists or inhaled or oral prostanoid therapy), patients must be receiving a stable dose for ≥ 4 weeks prior to Day 0 and planning to remain on a stable dose throughout the study.
5. FVC ≥ 40% of predicted normal according to Global Lung Initiative (GLI)
6. Diffusion Capacity of Carbon Monoxide (DLCO) \[corrected for hemoglobin\] ≥ 25% to \<80% of predicted normal

Exclusion Criteria

1. Relevant airways obstruction (pre-bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in one second to forced vital capacity ratio less than 70% (FEV1/FVC \< 0.7))
2. In the opinion of the Investigator, other clinically significant pulmonary abnormalities.
3. Known significant PAH, defined as previous clinical or echocardiographic evidence of significant right heart failure, history of right heart catheterization showing a cardiac index \< 2 L/min/m2, or PAH requiring combination of PAH-specific therapies or any PAH parenteral therapy.
4. Emphysema ≥ 50% on HRCT assessed by the investigator, or the extent of emphysema is greater than the extent of fibrosis according to reported results from the most recent chest HRCT.
5. Acute IPF exacerbation within 6 weeks prior to screening and/or during the screening period (investigator-determined).
6. ILD associated with other known causes
7. Lower respiratory tract infection requiring antibiotics within 4 weeks prior to Day 0 and/or during the screening period.
8. Major surgery (major according to the investigator's assessment) performed within six weeks prior to Day 0 or planned during the course of the trial. (Being on a transplant list is allowed).

3. Unstable cardiac angina
12. Bleeding risk, any of the following:

1. Known genetic predisposition to bleeding.
2. Patients who require:

21. Any documented active or suspected malignancy within 5 years prior to Day 0, except appropriately treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin, in situ squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or "under surveillance" prostate cancer.
22. Evidence of active infection (chronic or acute) based on clinical exam or laboratory findings.
23. The patient has a confirmed infection with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome- Coronvirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) within the four weeks prior to Day 0 or during the screening period.
24. Women who are pregnant, nursing, or who plan to become pregnant while in the trial.
25.

Note: A woman is considered of childbearing potential, i.e. fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy
