Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact that ENV-101 has on lung function and key measures of fibrosis in adult patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Another goal of this study is to better understand the safety and tolerability of ENV-101 in this patient population.

Description

This trial is a 6-month, randomized, double-blind, controlled, dose-ranging trial of ENV-101 in adult patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Patients are allowed to continue treatment with approved standard of care (e.g., nintedanib, pirfenidone) during the trial. Patients will be randomized to one of 3 dose levels of ENV-101 or placebo at baseline. The objectives of this trial are to characterize the efficacy, antifibrotic activity, and safety of ENV-101 to select the Phase 3 dose of ENV-101.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients ≥ 40 years old with an IPF diagnosis as confirmed by the Investigator.
  • Percent predicted FVC of ≥ 45% at study start.
  • Percent predicted diffusing capacity of lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) ≥ 25%, adjusted for hemoglobin (Hgb) at study start.
  • Ability to perform spirometry tests.
  • Either stable treatment with standard of care (SoC) [i.e., antifibrotics, immunosuppressants (PPF only)] for at least 3 months prior to study start or not treated with SoC for at least 8 weeks prior to study start.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Evidence of other known causes of interstitial lung disease (ILD).
  • Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/FVC ratio <0.7 at study start.
  • History of malignancy, including carcinoma during the preceding 5 years from study start, with the following exceptions:
    1. Prior history of in situ melanoma, basal or squamous cell skin cancer if treated with curative therapy.
    2. Patients with prostate cancer that are managed by surveillance.
    3. Patients with ductal carcinoma in situ, treated surgically with curative intent.
  • Patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B and C).
  • Smoking (including vaping) within 6 months of study start; current smoker, or unwillingness to refrain from smoking during the clinical trial duration.
  • Active or suspected alcohol or drug abuse in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • Currently enrolled in another investigational device or drug trial, or less than 3 months from study start since ending another investigational device or drug trial(s) or receiving other investigational treatment(s).
  • Presence of active infection at study start or confirmed active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B virus (HBV) or Hepatitis C virus (HCV).
  • Major surgery requiring hospitalization (according to the Investigator) performed within 3 months prior to study start or planned during the course of the trial. Being on a transplant list is allowed.
  • Occurrence of serious illness requiring hospitalization within 90 days prior to study start.
  • Current or previous use (within 28 days prior to study start) of the following:
    1. Endothelin receptor antagonist
    2. Riociguat
    3. Prostacyclin or prostacyclin analogue
    4. Radiation to the lungs
    5. Oral corticosteroids >15 mg/day
  • Use of cyclophosphamide or tocilizumab within 8 weeks, or rituximab within 6 months,

    prior to study start.

  • Use of drugs that are known moderate or stronger CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers within 14 days prior to study start. Patients must also agree not to eat fruits that inhibit CYP3A4 such as grapefruit, Seville oranges, pomelo and star fruit.
  • Patients of reproductive potential who are sexually active and unwilling to use birth control for the duration of the study and for 3 months after their final dose of study drug.
  • Females that are pregnant or nursing.
  • Patients that are unwilling to refrain from blood or blood product donation for the duration of the study and for 30 days after their final dose of study drug.
  • Males who are unwilling to refrain from sperm donation and females who are unwilling to refrain from egg donation for the duration of the study and for 3 months after their final dose of study drug.
  • Patients with a history of a severe allergic reaction or anaphylactic reaction or known hypersensitivity to any component of ENV-101.
  • Patients who have previously taken ENV-101.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
