Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 40 years and older
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- Documented diagnosis of IPF per the 2018 American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society (ERS)/Japanese Respiratory Society (JRS)/Latin American Thoracic Society Clinical Practice Guideline (Raghu 2018).
- Chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) performed within 12 months prior to first Screening Visit and according to the minimum requirements for IPF diagnosis by central review based on participant's HRCT only (if no lung biopsy is available) or based on both HRCT and lung biopsy (with application of the different criteria in either situation). If an evaluable HRCT <12 months prior to Screening is not available, an HRCT can be performed at first Screening Visit to determine eligibility, according to the same requirements as the historical HRCT. If a participant has an indeterminate usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern and their HRCT is >6 months old, if in the opinion of the Investigator their disease has progressed, an additional HRCT may be obtained and reviewed for eligibility.
- FVC ≥45% of predicted normal at Screening Visits.
- Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)/FVC ≥0.7 at Screening Visits.
- DLco ≥30% and ≤90% of predicted, corrected for hemoglobin at first Screening Visit.
Who cannot join
- Abnormalities detected on electrocardiogram (ECG) of either rhythm or conduction that in the opinion of the Investigator are clinical significant. Participants with implantable cardiovascular devices (for example, pacemaker) affecting the QT interval time may be enrolled in the study based upon Investigator judgment following cardiologist consultation if deemed necessary, and only after discussion with the Medical Monitor.
- Emphysema present on ≥50% of the HRCT, or the extent of emphysema is greater than the extent of fibrosis, according to central review of the HRCT.
- Interstitial lung disease associated with known primary diseases (for example, connective tissue disease, sarcoidosis and amyloidosis), exposures (for example, radiation, silica, asbestos, and coal dust), or drugs (for example, amiodarone).
- Participants who cannot meet protocol-specified baseline stability criteria.
- Acute IPF exacerbation within 3 months prior to screening.
- Receiving nintedanib in combination with pirfenidone
Show all 13Show fewer
- Receiving systemic corticosteroids equivalent to prednisone >10 milligrams (mg)/day or equivalent within 2 weeks prior to Screening.
- Use of any of the following therapies within 4 weeks prior to Screening and during the Screening Period, or planned during the study: imatinib, ambrisentan, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine A, tacrolimus, bosentan, methotrexate, inhaled treprostinil, phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, including sildenafil (unless for occasional use), prednisone at steady dose >10 mg/day or equivalent, or other investigational therapy.
- History of cigarette smoking or vaping within the previous 3 months.
- Female participant who is pregnant or breastfeeding.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Axatilimab in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by Syndax Pharmaceuticals at 78 sites in 13 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 5 inclusion and 13 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 27 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 78 sites in Spain, Italy, South Korea, Australia, Germany and 8 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?
Annualized rate of decline in morning pre-dose trough forced vital capacity (FVC) (milliliter [mL]) (time frame: Baseline through Week 26). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 27 Mar 2026.
