Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in forced vital capacity (FVC) at 52 weeks as compared to baseline1 year

Measure: FVC was measured using a spirometer according to American Thoracic Society / European Respiratory Society guidelines at screening and week 52 of the treatment period.

To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effect on lung function of multiple intravenous doses of QAX576 in patients with IPF1 year
Safety and tolerability of QAX576.1 year

Measure safety and tolerability as assessed by reported AEs and effects on routine laboratory evaluations.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To evaluate the effect of multiple intravenous doses of QAX576 on measures of clinical efficacy1 year
To determine the pharmacokinetics of of QAX576 by measuring concentrations of QAX576 in blood1 year
Pharmacokinetics of QAX5761 year

Measure concentrations of QAX576 and its metabolites in blood throughout the study

Time to clinical worsening:1 year

Measure: Time to clinical worsening defined as fall in FVC or Diffusing Capacity of the lung for Carbon Monoxide (DLco), lung transplant or lung disease (IPF)-related death

Exacerbation of IPF1 year

Measure: Incidence of exacerbation of IPF during the study

Progression of fibrosis1 year

Measure progression of fibrosis in the lungs as measured by Quantitative High Resolution Computerized Tomography (HRCT)
