8.Platelets < 100 000 /mL at screening
9.Haemoglobin < 9.0 g/dL at screening
10.In the opinion of the Investigator, patient is likely to have lung transplantation during study (but being on transplantation list is acceptable for participation).
11.Life expectancy for disease other than IPF < 2.5 years (Investigator assessment).
12.Other disease that may interfere with testing procedures or in judgement of Investigator may interfere with trial participation or may put the patient at risk when participating to this trial.

•History of hemorrhagic CNS event within 12 months prior to screening (visit 1).
•Any of the following within 3 months prior to screening :
oGross / frank haemoptysis or haematuria
oActive gastro-intestinal bleeding or ulcers
oMajor injury or surgery.
18.Thrombotic risk
•Known inherited predisposition to thrombosis.
•History of thrombotic event (including stroke and transient ischemic attacks) within 12 months prior to screening
19.Surgical procedures planned to occur during trial period.
20.Coagulopathy.
21.Uncontrolled systemic arterial hypertension.
