About this study

Official title: A Randomized Double-blind, Four-Arm Active and Placebo-controlled Dose-Finding Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Tolerability, Safety and Dose Response of LYT-100 in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)

This study a randomized, double-blind, four arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LYT-100 compared to pirfenidone or placebo in adults with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Read the detailed description

This study is a randomized, double-blind, being conducted at centers globally to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LYT-100 compared to pirfenidone or placebo in 240 treatment naïve adult patients with IPF ≥ 40 years in age. Patients will be randomized in a ratio of 1:1:1:1 to receive treatment of LYT-100, pirfenidone, or placebo to be taken daily for up to 183 days (26 week treatment period) with the primary outcome of Rate of decline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC; in mL) over 26 weeks. Secondary endpoints, including spirometry, inflammatory biomarkers, and patient-reported outcomes will also be evaluated.

After completion of the double-blind period of the study, patients may participate in a long-term extension to evaluate tolerability and long-term safety. Patients receiving LYT-100 in the double-blind period will continue the dose throughout the long-term extension. Patients receiving pirfenidone or placebo in the double-blind period will be re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive LYT-100 550mg or 825mg TID dose throughout the long-term extension.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of decline in Forced Vital Capacity over 26 weeks (Part A)

    Rate of decline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC; in mL)

    Measured: 26 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) percent predicted change (Part A)

    FVC percent predicted (FVCpp) change from baseline to Week 26

    Measured: Baseline to Week 26

  2. Time to hospitalization or mortality (Part A)

    Time to hospitalization or mortality due to respiratory cause through 26 weeks

    Measured: 26 weeks

  3. Time to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) progression (Part A)

    Time to IPF progression through 26 weeks, as defined by a decline in FVC% of 5% or greater or death

    Measured: 26 weeks

  4. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) percent predicted change (Part B)

    FVC percent predicted (FVCpp) change from Week 26 to Week 52

    Measured: 26 Weeks

  5. Rate of decline in Forced Vital Capacity over 26 weeks (Part B)

    Rate of decline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC; in mL) from Week 26 to Week 52

    Measured: 26 Weeks

  6. Time to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) progression (Part B)

    Time to IPF progression from Week 26 to Week 52, as defined by a decline in FVC% of 5% or greater or death

    Measured: 26 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pirfenidone and Deupirfenidone in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by PureTech at 103 sites in 14 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 103 sites in United States, Argentina, South Korea, India, Greece and 9 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of decline in Forced Vital Capacity over 26 weeks (Part A) (time frame: 26 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05321420, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Oct 2025.
