Summary description of the study

In this clinical study, named IM027068, participants with IPF will be treated either with the study drug or with placebo twice daily. Neither you nor your study doctor knows which treatment you will receive. Participants may continue antifibrotic therapy for IPF with Nintedanib or Pirfenidone. The study consists of 2 parts: In Part 1, the first 60 participants with IPF will be enrolled so that a review committee can assess safety before Part 2 opens. In Part 2, the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the study drug will be investigated in participants with IPF. Part 2 will include approximately 1125 participants. The study will last approximately 4 years in total.

Intervention under investigation

The treatment period lasts from the visit date on Day 1 for the first participant until the end of treatment for the last participant, approximately 4 years (the individual study duration for a participant may range from at least 52 weeks to approximately 4 years, depending on when the last participant completes the visit at Week 52).

The study intervention consists of a blinded investigational product that is to be taken orally with liquid twice daily.

Disease under investigation

There remains a significant unmet need for a safe, well-tolerated, and effective therapy for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) that improves lung function, delays disease progression, and reduces mortality. BMS-986278 is an orally administered investigational product being developed for the treatment of patients with IPF and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). A clinical study in participants with pulmonary fibrosis has shown favorable safety and efficacy with BMS-986278 as a monotherapy and in participants on antifibrotic treatment.
