Overview
The purposes of this study are to:
- evaluate potential interactions between taladegib (ENV-101) and current standard-of-care (SOC) therapies for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), including nintedanib and pirfenidone, and
- more fully characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of taladegib (i.e., how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes and excretes taladegib).
This study will enroll 4 cohorts (groups) of participants. Each cohort will experience a different duration of treatment and sequestering (being housed) at the clinical site, followed by a 14-day follow-up period for safety evaluation. The longest duration of treatment for any cohort is 30 days.
