June 2026 clinical trial highlights
Research study participants are essential in the quest for new treatments and a cure for pulmonary fibrosis (PF).
Each month, we'll highlight a few of the many trials enrolling volunteers. All past issues are available on the PFF Clinical Trials Blog. To view more trials for various forms of interstitial lung disease (ILD), visit the 🔍 PFF Clinical Trial Finder.

Share your research study experience with us
We are interested in learning about your experience participating in research studies for ILD. If you would like to share your journey, please complete the “My research study story” online form. We will select submissions to feature in the "Putting a face to the science" section of our clinical trials newsletter (see below). This initiative aims to highlight unique perspectives from the PF and ILD community. Thank you for your consideration and taking the time to share your experience with the PFF and broader community. We sincerely appreciate your contribution to our future newsletters.

Watch now: Clinical Trial Innovation (CTI) Series
Filmed at PFF Summit 2025 last November, tune in as clinical trial sponsors talk about research studies.
The PFF CTI Series Part 1 includes the following talks:
- Boehringer Ingelheim’s DROP-FPF, a study to test whether nerandomilast slows progression of lung fibrosis for people in an early stage with a family history of PF.
- Chiesi’s phase 1b study assessing the safety and tolerability of zampilimab in people living with IPF.
- MAVRIC-IPF, a study assessing the safety and efficacy of metformin compared to placebo in people living with IPF who are at high risk for clinical events.
- Two studies from United Therapeutics: TETON-PPF, a phase 3 study of the efficacy and safety of inhaled treprostinil in people living with progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) and DeciPHer-ILD, a real-world patient registry for people living with PH-ILD.
The PFF CTI Series Part 2 includes the following talks:
- Avalyn Pharma’s MIST study, a phase 2b clinical trial evaluating inhaled pirfenidone (AP01) in people living with PPF.
- Two studies from Insmed about treprostinil palmitil inhalation powder (TPIP) for people living with PH-ILD.
- The PFF Community Registry, a series of surveys for all community members affected by PF or ILD.
