Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact that ENV-101 has on lung function and key measures of fibrosis in adult patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). Another goal of this study is to better understand the safety and tolerability of ENV-101 in these patient populations.

Description:

This trial is a 6-month, randomized, double-blind, controlled, dose-ranging trial of ENV-101 in two parallel cohorts of adult patients with lung fibrosis: idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). Patients are allowed to continue treatment with approved standard of care (e.g., nintedanib, pirfenidone) during the trial. Patients will be randomized to one of 3 dose levels of ENV-101 or placebo at baseline. The objectives of this trial are to characterize the efficacy, antifibrotic activity, and safety of ENV-101 to select the Phase 3 dose of ENV-101 in each indication.

Primary	PPF Population Primary Endpoint: Safety	The incidence, severity, and relationship of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), and treatment-emergent and clinically significant changes in lab parameters, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), and oxygen saturation	Baseline and Week 24
Secondary	PPF Population: Rate of change in ppFVC compared to placebo		Baseline and Week 24

Secondary	Absolute change in the Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis Symptoms (L-PF Symptoms) Questionnaire Cough domain score compared to placebo	The L-PF Symptoms Questionnaire Cough domain consists of 6 questions regarding a subject's experience with cough over the prior 24 hours. Questions have response options on a five-point numeric rating scale with an anchor of 0 ("Not at all") to 4 ("Extremely"). Total score for the Cough domain is normalized to the range 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater impairment.	Baseline and Week 24

Questions have response options on a five-point numeric rating scale with an anchor of 0 ("Not at all") to 4 ("Extremely"). Total score for the Dyspnea domain is normalized to the range 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater impairment.	Baseline and Week 24
