Abstract

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive lung disease. Although anti-fibrotic treatments, such as pirfenidone, are available that reduce the rate of disease progression, these medications have limitations in tolerability, and IPF patients still have poor prognoses. GDC-3280, an orally available small molecule that was designed to improve upon pirfenidone's activity, has anti-fibrotic activity in animal models. This first-in-human, phase 1 trial evaluated GDC-3280 to determine its safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK).
