About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study of the Safety and Efficacy of MTX-463 in Participants With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)

A Phase 2a, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety and Efficacy of MTX-463 in Participants with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)

Read the detailed description

Participants with IPF who meet the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive MTX-463 or a matching placebo by intravenous (IV) infusion. Concomitant use of one of the approved IPF therapies, pifenidone, nintedanib, or nerandomilast, is permitted, and it is expected that about half the study population will be on one of those medications. Participants randomized to the MTX-463 arm of the study will receive an IV infusion every 4 weeks, beginning at Day 0 and ending at Week 20. The End of Treatment Visit will occur at Week 24, 4 weeks after the final infusion; and a final Safety Follow-Up Visit will occur at Week 28, 8 weeks after the final infusion. Assessments of FVC will occur at Screening, Baseline, and at all subsequent treatment visits up to and including Week 24. L-PF assessments will be performed at Baseline and Week 24. Participants will have blood drawn for safety assessment and to assess WISP1 levels at Baseline and every 4 weeks throughout the study. Blood will be drawn for serum PK analyses relative to the first and last doses of MTX-463.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MTX-463Biological

    MTX-463 is an immunoglobin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against WNT-inducible signaling pathway protein 1 (WISP1). WISP1 (aka CCN-4) is a matricellular protein that appears to be upregulated locally in response to certain chronic diseases, including IPF, and malignancies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MTX-463 in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by Mediar Therapeutics at 59 sites in 11 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 12 inclusion and 20 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 15 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 59 sites in United States, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Ireland and 6 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?

To assess the effect of MTX-463 on the change from Baseline in forced vital capacity (FVC) (time frame: 24 Weeks). 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 15 Oct 2026.
