LYT-100 in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)

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.
