Brief description of study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of BMS-986278 in participants with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
  • Age: 40 years or above
  • Gender: All

Inclusion Criteria

  • Subjects with IPF aged ≥ 40 years at the time of signing the informed consent.
  • Diagnosis of IPF within 7 years prior to screening that is supported by centrally read chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) obtained at screening and verification of usual interstitial pneumonia.
  • If on pirfenidone or nintedanib, participants must have been on a stable dose for at least 90 days prior to screening.
  • If not currently on pirfenidone or nintedanib, participants must not have received either of these medications within 28 days prior to screening.
  • Women who are of childbearing potential must have a highly effective form of contraception and must provide a negative urine/serum pregnancy test.
  • Men who are sexually active with women of childbearing potential agree to use male barrier contraception.

Exclusion Criteria

  • History of stroke or transient ischemic attack within 3 months prior to screening.
  • Participants who exhibit symptoms of heart failure at rest.
  • Participants who have a current malignancy or a previous malignancy with less than 2 years free of recurrence or a biopsy that is suspicious for malignancy and the possibility of malignancy cannot be reasonably excluded following additional clinical, laboratory, or other diagnostic evaluations.
  • Other protocol-defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria apply

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of an investigational medication in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

This study focuses on assessing how safe and effective the investigational medication is for participants. It also looks at how well participants tolerate the treatment.

  • Who can participate: Participants must be 40 years or older with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception.
  • Study details: Participants may receive an investigational medication or a placebo. A placebo is an inactive substance that looks like the investigational medication but does not contain any medicine.
