Study of Olokizumab Treatment Safety and Effectiveness in Adults With Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases

What this Trial Is About

The trial investigates the safety and effectiveness of olokizumab compared to a placebo in adults with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases ILD. This phase 23 study uses a double-blind, parallel-group adaptive design to better understand treatment impacts on lung function over time. Participants have progressive fibrosing ILD confirmed by imaging and lung function tests, with disease progression documented within the prior months or years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either subcutaneous injections of olokizumab 64 mg or placebo every four weeks during a 48-week treatment period. The study includes a screening period lasting four weeks, followed by a treatment period of 48 weeks, and then a follow-up period of 24 weeks with visits scheduled at 4, 12, and 24 weeks post-treatment. The total duration of participation is approximately 76 weeks. Throughout the study, patients will undergo lung function tests including forced vital capacity FVC and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide DLCO, as well as imaging assessments to evaluate lung fibrosis. Researchers will monitor symptoms, lung function changes, and quality of life measures using dyspnea scores and health questionnaires. Safety will be closely observed during treatment and follow-up visits, with the main outcome focused on changes in FVC over 48 weeks.
