Brief Summary

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

This is a Phase 2a, single -center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate type 1 collagen deposition in the lungs following once-daily treatment with PLN-74809 for 12-weeks. This study is occurring at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Detailed Description

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

This is a Phase 2a, single-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study to evaluate type 1 collagen deposition in the lungs of participants with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) following once-daily (QD) treatment with 160 mg PLN-74809 for 12 weeks. The study consists of an up to 28-day screening period, a 12-week treatment period, and a 2 week (±3 days) post treatment follow-up period.

Approximately 12 eligible participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio (160 mg PLN-74809 vs placebo; approximately 8 receiving PLN-74809 and 4 receiving placebo) on Day 1 (Visit 3). Randomization will be stratified by use of standard of care IPF therapy with pirfenidone or nintedanib. PET/MRI scans will be conducted at Baseline and at Week 12.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* Participants, aged 40 years or older
* Diagnosis of IPF, within 8 years prior to Screening
* FVC % predicted ≥45%; historical FVC for entry in the study is permitted if within 1 month of screening
* Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide DLco (hemoglobin-adjusted) ≥30%; historical DLco for entry in the study is permitted if within 1 month of Screening
* Participants currently receiving treatment for IPF with nintedanib or pirfenidone are permitted, if on a stable dose for at least 3 months

Exclusion Criteria

* Currently receiving or planning to initiate treatment for IPF (fibrosis) with agents not approved for that indication by the FDA
* Forced expiratory volume during the first seconds of the forced breath (FEV1)/FVC ratio \<0.7 at Screening
* Clinical evidence of active infection, including but not limited to bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis that can affect FVC measurement or IPF progression
* Known acute IPF exacerbation or suspicion by the Investigator of such, within 6 months of Screening
* Smoking of any kind within 3 months of Screening
