Overview

Brief Summary

This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of lebrikizumab as monotherapy in the absence of background IPF therapy and as combination therapy with pirfenidone background therapy in participants with IPF. Participants will be randomized to receive either lebrikizumab or placebo subcutaneously every 4 weeks.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Annualized Rate of Decrease in Percent Predicted Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Over 52 Weeks

Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 52 (assessed at Baseline, Weeks 1, 4, 12, 24, 36, 44, and 52)

Annualized rates of decrease (slope throughout time from baseline to Week 52) for percent predicted FVC was assessed and reported. FVC is a standard pulmonary function test. FVC is defined as the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out after full inspiration in the upright position, measured in liters. Predicted FVC is based on sex, age, and height of a person. Percent predicted FVC (in %) = \[(observed FVC)/(predicted FVC)\]\*100.
